* Averted in a sourcebook for ''[[Werewolf: The Forsaken]]'' dealing with werewolf physiology and behavior. The book makes it very clear that becoming all fuzzy when you've got chocolate, caffeine or drugs in your system can mess you up something fierce (as chocolate and caffeine are trouble for canines, and... well, the drugs should be fairly obvious, shouldn't they?).

* "Alien Wars", a Military SF setting for [[Hero System|Star Hero]], features the Xenovore race, which can metabolize ''any'' meat regardless of which planet it comes from. [[I'm a Humanitarian|Sentients]] are the tastiest, but they'll eat nonsentients if that's what's available.

* The number of half-X, half-Y creatures in [[Dungeons and Dragons]] borders on mind-boggling. Depending on the edition and setting, you could encounter a half-elf, half-orc, half-dragon, half-demon, half-devil, half-angel, [[Buffy-Speak|half-robotic-thingy]], half-undead, half-eldritch abomination, half-god, half-halfling, half-giant, half-fey, half-chaos frog thing, half-elemental, half-djinn, half-dwarf, half-furry, half-golem, half-mutated egg-laying cousin of humanity, half...oh, you get the idea. Most of them can eat and drink the same things (if they do indeed eat and drink.) And the idea of the act bringing some of these creatures into existence ranges from hilarious ~~([[Biggus Dickus|half-giant]])~~ to pure ''[[Squick]]''. [[Double Entendre|Sometimes]], [[A Wizard Did It|a Wizard]] [[Double Entendre|really did]] it, and how!
