Fantasy worlds are always full of half breeds. I want to see what anyone has beyond half-elves and half-orcs.

My main character is a Half-Dragon! Full dragon father (with fancy Earthbending magic) and a human mother (who's about 7'2 and built like a Gerudo strongwoman), named Gawain and Guinevere respectively. While my MC doesn't have very powerful magic, it's far more than what a normal human has. He can lift gigantic boulders, but his father literally shifted an entire mountain to give more sun to his wife's garden. Half-Dragons are a strange mix, as genetics don't always work out in the best way. The MC has wings and a tail, and is pretty much a scaly bipedal dragon. His friend, however, didn't get the wings or the tail, but gets gills because one of his parents was a Leviathan. Another fun thing about my dragons is that they can make their scales stand on end (like a Seregios from Monster Hunter, or like a fluffy animal rearing up to fight). Most Half-Dragons retain this ability, and it allows them to cool off by letting air underneath their scales.

Hi is it alright if I mention one?

That's what this is for. Go ahead

My main character is a Half-Griffin! Both parents are full dragons named Fang and Storm. While my main character doesn't have very powerful magic, it's far more than what a normal human has. She can lift gigantic buildings, but her father was a mad scientist and experimented on her. The experiment had gone wrong which kept her as a half-griffin. Half-Griffins are a strange mix, as genetics don't always work out in the best way. The main character has wings and a tail and is pretty much a feathery eagle. Her friend, however, didn't get the wings or the tail, but gets feathers because one of his parents was a Harpy. Another fun thing about my griffins is that they can make their feathers stand on end, spikes appearing under them. Most Half-Griffins retain this ability, and it allows them to protect themselves even with the worst damage.

Wait, what? Why did you almost blatantly copy me?

I have a half-faun, half-human character named Trea Koggea. If you've heard of or seen Chiara Bautista's artwork, Trea's based off of her drawings of a "deer girl", and I thought it'd be cool to create a character based on that. She was actually meant for a sort of fan story I was planning, taking place in the universe of BBC's Merlin. As in, the whole "eyes flash gold when a spell is cast" kinda thing. I wanted to incorporate Camelot's ban on magic (penalty of death), and the idea of the Great Purge as the main conflict in the story. Not entirely sure if this is what you meant, since Trea has two different "forms", if you will. She disguises herself as a full human most of the time.

@PlayingBfCOOKIES That’s really cool!

One of my characters is half dwarf half hobbit.She marries a human and her children are… eh short.

I've made a whole list of half races between Blue Oni, Red Oni, Efreet, and Djinn. We've got Violet Oni, Vermillion Demons, Green Oni, Kaze Oni, and Aoi Efreet
