Hybrid

:''This article is about the [[species]] term. For the person of this first name, see [[Hybrid Wuff]].''

A '''hybrid''' (biology-wise) is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different breeds, varieties, [[species]], or genera through [[W:sexual reproduction|sexual reproduction]] ("'''crosses'''").

== Etymology ==

The term '''hybrid''' is derived from Latin '''''hybrida''''', used for crosses such as a [[W:Sow|tame sow]] and a [[W:wild boar|wild boar]]. The term came into popular use in English in the 19th century, though examples of its use have been found from the early 17th century.

Conspicuous hybrids are popularly identified with [[W:Portmanteau|portmanteau name]]s, starting in the 1920s with the breeding of a [[tiger]]/[[lion]] hybrids ([[liger]]s and [[tigon]]s).

== Description ==

Generally, it means that each cell has [[W:Genetics|genetic material]] from two different organisms, whereas an individual where some cells are derived from a different organism is called a [[chimera]]. Hybrids are not always intermediated between their parents (such as in [[W:blending inheritance|blending inheritance]]), but can show [[W:Heterosis|hybrid vigor]], sometimes growing larger or taller than either parent.

The concept of a hybrid is interpreted differently in [[animal]] and [[W:Plant|plant]] breeding, where there is interest in the individual parentage. In genetics, attention is focused on the numbers of [[W:Chromosome|chromosome]]s, while in [[W:Taxonomy,|taxonomy]], a key question is how closely related the parent species are.

== Hybrid and furry ==

[[Furry]] [[character]]s, [[fursona]]s, or [[OC]]s, can be, as the same as in mainstream culture, hybrids of two biologically possible animal crosses, such as a [[coyote]] and a [[wolf]], commonly identified as a '''coywolf''', resulting in [[liger]]s, [[wolfdog]]s, [[W:Coydog|coydog]]s, and [[tigon]]s, among others.

But thanks to ideas/imagination not being impeded by logical biology, furry variations in hybridization are limitless. This includes crosses between:
* '''Actual biological "cousins"''' - Such as a [[fox]] and a [[wolf]], commonly identified in the [[furry fandom]] as a '''folf''' (or '''pholph''').
* '''Between not related biological species''' - Which can not interbreed, such as a [[tiger]] and a [[Skunk (species)|skunk]], this cross popularized by [[furry artist]] [[Max Black Rabbit]]'s popular character, [[Zig Zag]]. Other species such animals crossbreed with include [[reptile]]s, [[bird]]s, [[insect]]s or [[fish]].

* [[W:Synthetic biology|Synthetic biology]] '''with''' [[W:Organic lifeform|organic lifeforms]] - Like [[W:Xenobot|xenobots]] with any animal (like [[primagen]]s, but not [[anthroid]]s or [[inanimorph]]s).<ref>[https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Category:Robot_characters Category [[robot]] characters] page on Wikifur.

* [[Werewolf]] '''hybrids''' - In the [[fandom]], '''lycanthrope''' crosses do occur between related animals or species, with one being the "base" animal (the [[human]] in the werewolf scenario).
:Sometimes the cross is between not biologically related animals or species, in some concepts two animals that are diametrically opposite of each other, like a meek-looking [[bunny]] and/or a cute [[sheep]] transforming into an [[W:Apex predator|apex predator]] like a wolf, sometimes with a twist (I.e. werewolves still exhibiting prey animals' apprehensions after change).<ref>[https://www.furaffinity.net/view/6207886/ ''Strollin' Through the Woods One Day...''] page on [[Fur Affinity]].

* [[Monster]] '''hybrids''' - The crosses between inhuman [[creature]]s, such as a werewolf/[[vampire]] hybrid<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VampiricWerewolf ''Vampiric Werewolf''] page on the [[W:TV Tropes|TV Tropes]] website. Retrieved April 10, 2023.</ref> do occur in the fandom, but are more common in mainstream culture (sometimes referred to as '''werepires''' or '''vaewolves''', in relation to the last mentioned cross).<ref>[https://bloodrayne-mia-the-vampire-slayer.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf-Vampire_Hybrids ''Werewolf-Vampire Hybrids''] page on the [https://bloodrayne-mia-the-vampire-slayer.fandom.com/ BloodRayne & Mia Wiki].
