| I think there'd have to be occasional cases where two different species mate and create a cross-bred type creature. Like certain random features from each side. :D Wouldn't that be okay, or is it too farfeched? |

| I'd say it depends on the creatures. Certain creatures on earth can cross-breed - sometimes it is simply too much of a difference. I'm not sure how close it needs to be on Felarya. I'm sure that humans and neko's could cross-breed...and fairies will probably at least try to cross-breed with everything... |

| It'd probably be along the line of genetics, so basically if the two species have a similar makeup, wether it's in terms of general body characteristics or inner-body workings, it'd work. So anything that typically has a human-type body shape and inner workings should be able to cross-breed, so humans, nekos, faries and anything else that fits in there could, I think. But it just an idea. :3 |

| Personally, I'm not much a fan of cross-breeds. Then again, that's mostly because many of them make no sense.
There are two main issues I see with cross-breeding: Size and genetics.
Size has the obvious issues. A Naga is unlikely to be able to mate successfully with a human unless either: A) It's genetically extremely short (In which case the child would likely be as well if it's to inherit most of the genes from the Naga), or B) It's not developed enough to even yield children.
Genetics, well, that's also relatively simple and complex. First, many animals cannot mate with another unless they extremely close. Extremely. I could see a Dridder mating with a Dridder of a different type (provided #1 doesn't become an issue). However, those children would likely be sterile.
I see these as the potential matings for the main races outside their own species:
Angel: None Centaur: Sphinx Chlaenas: None Dridder: None Dridder (Naxyla): Centaur, Dryad, Elf, Fairy, Harpy, Human, Naga, Neko, Sphinx Dryad: None (outside maybe Fairy) Elemental: None (Unless bound to host, which would likely yield host DNA, not Elemental) Elf: Fairy, Human, Neko Fairy: (Maybe) Dryad, Elf, (maybe) Harpy, Human, Neko Harpy: (Maybe) Fairy Human: Elf, Fairy, Neko Mermaids: (Maybe) Naga Nagas: (Maybe) Mermaid Neko: Elf, Fairy, Human Sphinx: Centaur Succubi: None
Where I put (maybe), I mean that I feel it less likely than the other cross-breeds stated but still could be a possibility above 0%. Reason why many categories don't cross with Naxyla is because the Naxyla instead shifts the host into a new Dridder. Because of this, it's possible for them to change another and create a 'hybrid' but typical procreation would likely fail to work. |

Angel-demon hybrids have been discussed here before, and some exist in mythology.
They have similar body structures as quadrupeds for a lower half, but they're too dissimilar in the actual parts, in my opinion.
Most likely not with cecaelia; possibly viable with certain 'living fossil' species apart from the two distinct species that has traits of both chlaenas and cecaelias.
Aside from Naxyla dridders, no.
| Quote: | | Dridder (Naxyla): Centaur, Dryad, Elf, Fairy, Harpy, Human, Naga, Neko, Sphinx |
I think they might only be able to 'turn' humans, elves, nekos and the like, though I'm probably wrong. It just seems like the process would be more difficult for centaurs, sphinxes and such.
| Quote: | | Dryad: None (outside maybe Fairy) |
I thought dryads were self-pollinating, and don't seem very compatible for non-tree species. Possibly nature elementals like treants.
| Quote: | | Elemental: None (Unless bound to host, which would likely yield host DNA, not Elemental) |
Well, there's the elemental fairies, so I'm going to say they're compatible with them.
| Quote: | | Elf: Fairy, Human, Neko |
I'm pretty sure humans, fairies, nekos and elves can all interbreed.
| Quote: | | Fairy: (Maybe) Dryad, Elf, (maybe) Harpy, Human, Neko |
Humans, elves, nekos, tinies and elementals are what I can think of. It seems likely though that they can breed with other surprising species.
| Quote: | | Harpy: (Maybe) Fairy |
Most harpies (aside from trochili) don't actually use the genetic material of the father in reproduction, so you have to have something else involved there if you want a harpy hybrid.
| Quote: | | Mermaids: (Maybe) Naga |
Sea nagas seem likely.
Aside from their build, having a quadrupedal animal lower half, sphinxes and centaurs seem much too dissimilar to have viable offspring. Sphinxes and giant nekos, maybe.
See angels. |

Difficult doesn't have to mean impossible.

Probably not.
I'm just speculating here. Only Veeshan123 can give a solid answer. |

Fair enough.

Probably possible, but in most instances unlikely. It'd likely require a very young or naturally short version of the predator.
Fair enough.

There are other supposed 'hybrid' species like pit nagas, mist elves, etc. I'll count elemental fairies and those as how they're listed, as subspecies and not 'hybrids', since we're only discussing F1 hybrids here, the ones that are actually born from two different species.
Given that slug-girls are hermaphrodites, they should be able mate with a harpy to produce harpy chicks, but I don't think they can produce actual hybrid offspring with any other species.
Chilotaurs: None
Giants and giantesses: More likely to produce offspring with taurian races than humans, simply because of the size issue with humans no longer applying.
Vampires: None (FurryKurry, I believe you said that you have a vampire/neko character, but I'm going by the Felaryan kind which I don't think can have children.)
Tinies: Fairies
Lemurians: Who cares? Nobody, apparently. |

| Hybridization of any two species it probably possible if enough magic is used to "patch things up".
And really, who WOULDN'T want a half fairy, half naga, half candy cane elemental? |
