Game and Story Use

• This is a frequent trick to justify more player character races (with their own stat bonuses) without having to write up an extended cultural background.
• Being a half-human hybrid can be a source of Angst if one or both parents' cultures don't accept the hybrid.
• Disturbingly enough, while the typical Island of Doctor Moreau depiction is pretty goofy, the notion of human hybridization itself has some scientific basis. See Hybrid (biology), Historical and cultural perspectives on zoophilia, and Humanzee. Be prepared for a little squick.
