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. Played for Squick in "Auguren", a subterranean segment of the Brian Lumley novel Iced On Aran.Pran, if he doesn't turn out at some point to actually be from Helena. (Naturally, and ironically, Tuvok gets to experience that.) They'd be very happy to meet Mr. If you're all one species, though, you will have to use that other, less attractive dining hall, among other things. 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.Coincidentally, or not, an old 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.".He refers to himself on one occasion as a "quadroon", an old term that didn't necessarily have that meaning and was often racially offensive. Sonek Pran, recently introduced into the Trek Verse, is one quarter Betazed, one quarter human, one quarter Vulcan, and one quarter Bajoran.Really complex blends are referred to as "uniques".
novels, hybrids between the various fantasy races have become so common that the ancestry of some of them can be almost impossible to guess. Taken to extremes in one novel when the characters pass through a number of alternate Xanths in search of one particular alternate, basing their assessment re: whether or not they've made it on who Jenny Elf married and the resulting "species" of her daughter.Since various magic spells allow reproduction between any race in Xanth, such mixed critters are fairly common. And a mer-naga, who is a cross between mermaid (human/fish) and naga (human/snake). There's also a winged centaur who is a cross between a centaur (human/horse cross) and a hippogryph (which is itself another Heinz Hybrid, being a horse/ gryphon cross). For example, Esk is half human, one quarter ogre and one quarter nymph. There are a number of Xanth characters like this.It never seems to get translated like that, though. We know his lineage (goddess mother, human father who became part-divine in life), and it would make him 1/4 human, 3/4 god.Older Than Dirt: Gilgamesh is somehow 1/3 human and 2/3rds god.And all those bloodlines are via royal families, meaning Eldarion is royalty amongst all elves and elf-friend men, in the entire world. Aragorn's son Eldarion beats them all, he has the blood from all three elven lines, and that of the human lines of the west, as well as Maia blood.Their daughter Arwen and distant descendant Aragorn later rejoined their lines once more.
The two lines of intermarriages resulted in the twins Elrond and Elros, who respectively chose Elfdom and Humanity.
Members later got to choose to be counted among the Elves or Humans (which results in (im)mortality and a different fate after death) so as not to give the gods a headache trying to figure it out how to treat them.
