Line 30:
* In Glen Cook's ''[[Garrett P.I.]]'' novels, hybrids between the various fantasy races have become so common that the ancestry of some of them can be almost impossible to guess. Really complex blends are referred to as "uniques".
* Sonek Pran, recently introduced into the [[Trek Verse]], is one quarter Betazed, one quarter human, one quarter Vulcan, and one quarter Bajoran. He refers to himself on one occasion as a "quadroon", an old term that didn't necessarily have that meaning and [[Unfortunate Implications|was often racially offensive]].
** Coincidentally, or not, an old [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20050224225156/http://www.brunching.com/stft.html Brunching Shuttlecocks] feature parodied this aspect of "Star Trek" with a character who was a "half-Romulan, quarter-Vulcan, one-eighth-Bajoran office manager, whose cold exterior belies a heart of utter aloofness."
** One world in the [[Star Trek]] [[Expanded Universe]], called Helena, values diversity, to the point where the more different species you have in your ancestry, the more honored you are. If you're all one species, though, [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|you will have to use that other, less attractive dining hall]], [[Fantastic Racism|among other things.]] (Naturally, and ironically, ''Tuvok'' gets to experience that.) They'd be ''very'' happy to meet Mr. Pran, if he doesn't turn out at some point to actually be ''from'' Helena.
* Played for [[Squick]] in "Auguren", a subterranean segment of the Brian Lumley novel ''Iced On Aran''. Possibly a parody or [[Take That]] about Lovecraft's miscegenation hang-ups, it describes the systematic crossbreeding of captive human perverts with tick-men and giant parasitic worms, generating increasingly-deformed monstrosities.
