THE lore

the species of each chimera hybrid type are separated into five groups:1. thalassic (fish, sharks, mollusks, squid, etc)
2. saurian (snakes, lizards, turtles, dragons, crocodiles, etc)
3. aviators (birds)
4. wildings (lions, bears, tigers, wolves, foxes etc)
5. haltered (dogs, cats, ferrets, etc)
6. arthropods (moths, spiders, scorpions)choose wisely, and please read each lore carefully to ensure you know exactly what your muse will be en-tailing... ha- get it?but no seriously, if your muse is a hybrid, these are your current options~ if you don't see something you believe could be of use to add, please let us know!the way the a/b/o, alpha, beta, omega in this universe works is any muse from any breed or hybrid type can be whichever sub-gender. alpha's have knots, omegas produce slick, and betas are the middle ground that can either get pregnant by an alpha or get an omega pregnant. alphas can get pregnant by humans and some betas, but it takes more time and energy.alpha's have a rut week that is 5-7 days long, omega's have a heat week that is also 5-7 days long. beta's have been known to have their own small 1-3 days of what's called 'contact heat/rut' in which the pheromones of the in heat omega's or rut alpha's around them rub off on them and send them into a pseudo-state where they have the same symptoms but for a shorter time.in the terms of pregnancy or m-preg, each breed type has a gestation period of which your muse must maintain a pregnancy to produce an offspring. offspring in chimera krp will be one muse's breed type or the other, not combined.

WILDING HYBRIDS

here are are our current breeds and species types of "wilding" hybrids, aka your more wild/feral breeds. if you believe another species or breed is missing, we'd love to work and potentially grow this list more! shoot our admin team a message~general rules about wilding hybrids: these are the feral mammal hybrids that are often acquired because they are considered the ultimate trophy for humans in the sense that they "conquered the beasts of the animal kingdom." these are the types that will likely be "beaten into submission or broken in" by their owners to ensure they will be "properly trained." this being said, they do have their animal counterpart's ears, tails, and general behavior and temperament. they can process human food, however a high protein carnivorous, even borderline raw diet is best for them.big cat
breeds:
lion, tiger, cougar, leopard, cheetah, snow leopard, jaguar/panther, etc.
strengths:
big cat hybrids are very similar to the traditional haltered cat hybrids. playful, intelligent, the whole nine yards. the only main difference is the level of feral the big cat hybrids have instinctively inside of them. they're stronger, faster, their claws and teeth deal much more damage than your common housecat. they swim often, they can hunt on their own, they can climb trees, big cat hybrids really are apex predators in a nutshell.
weaknesses:
the main weakness of big cat hybrids are that they're dying out, they're going extinct. they were one of the first kind to appear in the first generation of hybrids, and because of this, they slowly began to be killed off one by one. there are still big cat hybrids out there, but not near enough. if things continue to go in the right direction, their numbers could increase, but they're considered endangered and are typically not up for adoption. the government tries it's best to keep all of them in a sanctuary, but there are the few who escape because a sanctuary life isn't living.
mating period:
late winter-time to early fall-time(february to october)
gestation:
4 monthsbear
breeds:
polar bear, black bear, panda, sun bear, grizzly bear, etc.
strengths:
bear hybrids can sprint up to 30 km per hour when chasing after their prey, or from running away after being spooked. they don't have the full fur like their animal counterparts, but they can regulate their temperature very well and withstand high weather changes. they're skilled hunters, and very well equipped with claws and sharp teeth if it came to a fight.
weaknesses:
bear hybrids, while dangerous and scary to those that know nothing about them, are quite hilariously enough easily scared. they're an opportunist type for prey, but if they're spooked while mid hunt, it can completely throw them off course and send them running in the other direction. they have courage when needed, but they also have cowardice that can inhibit them from hunting properly
mating period:
springtime and summertime (twice yearly)
gestation:
10 monthswolf/coyote
breeds:
gray wolf, artic wolf, dingo, great lakes coyote, coywolf, etc.
strengths:
wolf hybrids are apex predators, but both wolf and coyote hybrids have the biggest strengths in packs. packs mean a lot of things to these hybrids, as does it to any other hybrid, but to coyote and wolf hybrids, a pack means safety, it means love, it means home. individually they have many strengths, strong, swift, stealthy hunters, and a set of pearly white canines that not even blood can stain.
weaknesses:
wolf and coyote hybrids mainly have weaknesses when they are on their own. they're very pack oriented animals, and when left alone are left open to ambush by other predators, no matter how small they seem. coyote hybrids are meso-predators, which mean there are about the same amount of predators above them than below them.
mating period:
mid wintertime to late springtime (january to april)
gestation:
5 monthsfox
breeds:
tibetan fox, fennec fox, red fox, grey fox, artic fox, etc.
strengths:
fox hybrids have great adaptability, focus, attention and determination -- no matter their surroundings. they have a greatly enhanced self preservation, and can navigate danger head on with ease. they have great stamina and are generally fun to be around. they're quite silly, and this is one of their best selling points in pounds and shelters. the best strength a fox hybrid can have is their courage, however if the situation isn't properly assessed, it can also be their downfall
weaknesses:
fox hybrids are often vulnerable, along with otter hybrids, to bigger predators -- no matter the specification, they don't often bite off more than they can chew with a bigger predator. fox hybrids also cannot swim too well, and only do it when absolutely necessary to escape danger
mating period:
late wintertime (january to march)
gestation:
6 monthsotter
breeds:
sea otter, lutra, eurasian otter, clawless otter, etc.
strengths:
otter hybrids are very lithe and graceful in the water, often being seen as cutesy or adorable which does aid them in getting adopted from shelters and pounds. they're excellent swimmers, and their tails help to propel them even faster through the water. their claws are also very sharp, and can cause some serious damage if the otter hybrid is scared or afraid.
weaknesses:
otter hybrids can be a bit disorganized and not very detail oriented, which tends to be an issue on occasion, but nothing detrimental to their survival. a lot of their time is taken into grooming themselves, and on occasion they can have indigestion if the food they consume has heavy amounts of oils.
mating period:
gestation:

THALASSIC HYBRIDS

here are our current breeds and species types of "thalassic" hybrids, aka your marine and sea-life breeds. if you believe another species or breed is missing, we'd love to work and potentially grow this list more! shoot our admin team a message~general rules about thalassic hybrids: thrive best close to water, though it's not necessary. they do however need to consume more water than humans simply to not dehydrate. they are at their most dangerous in water, as it's their most natural environment. these hybrid types can dehydrate much faster than humans, and thus can not go more than 48-72 hours without consuming some form of water. they are by nature, the best swimmers above all else. they will develop gills in water, and their human forms stay the same, their strengths only heighten.predator types:- octopi hybrids
breed types:
- mimic, giant pacific, dumbo
strengths:
the strengths of octopi hybrids can vary depending on each individual breed, however these key factors are always prevalent no matter the type. they have the most enhanced form of self preservation and also are the worlds best escape artists. a special type of full body restraint is required for octopi hybrids should they be arrested for any reason, because many have been known to escape before even being taken fully into custody. octopi hybrids also can fully camouflage themselves, however it takes time to master and hone that skill.
weaknesses:
the weakness of octopi hybrids are that they are incredibly delicate to any form of violence. they are one of the slowest healers of all the hybrid types, even the slightest scratch taking weeks to heal completely without scarring. a single deep cut could put the hybrid's life in jeopardy.
mating period:
late-winter time to early-spring time
gestation:
6-10 months, dependent on breed of octopi
diet:
the diet of an octopi hybrid can consist of either counterpart, it can be sustainable on a carnivorous, herbivorous, or omnivorous diet- shark
breed types:
bull shark, tiger shark, lemon shark, nurse shark
strengths:
shark hybrid types have near foolproof eyesight, their perfect vision extending to full view even at night -- seeing colors most others can't. they are at the top of the food chain with enhanced strength, typically a row of sharp teeth on top and bottom, though some shark hybrid owners have opted to have them filed down to ensure their own safety. shark hybrids also have an additional organ no other has, one that can sense electromagnetic fields. it will not kill them if removed, as it's more like a gallbladder or kidney.
weaknesses:
a shark without it's teeth aren't powerless, however it does take away quite a bit of their self preservation. they are still remarkably strong in their bite power, but it won't hold much damage without the natural accoutrement. shark hybrids also are typically on a constant state of awake, they do sleep, but it can be very hard to fall and stay asleep due to their animal counterpart's constant state of swimming. insomnia for shark hybrids has come to be part of their anatomy, and most can handle it -- though sleeping pills may be acquired by their owners if they get too restless in the night time.
mating period:
spring and summertime, twice a year
gestation:
12 months
diet:
shark type hybrids will thrive much better on a carnivorous heavy diet, however they will be able to digest general human food- orca
strengths:
orca hybrids are the best hunters in the water, even above shark hybrids. they will always find their prey, no matter how far, no matter how fast they swim. they have heightened hearing, as well as echolocation to help locate their needs in the dark and underwater. they are the fastest swimmers.
weaknesses:
in the water, orcas have next to no weaknesses -- however on land is a different story. their hearing is heightened, but very sensitive and thus loud noises can disorient, and even inhibit these hybrid types.
mating period:
summer time
gestation:
15-18 months
diet:
orca type hybrids will thrive much better on a carnivorous heavy diet, however they will be able to digest non greasy, natural human foodprey:
- rays
breed types:
stingray, shovelnose ray, manta ray
strengths:
ray hybrids, effectively the birds of the sea, are of course great fast swimmers, and detect movement via electrical signals in the nearby bodies of others. it takes quite a while to hone this skill, as most young ray hybrids don't know how to pick up or detect -- however once it's learned it's like riding a bike! they'll never forget it. ray hybrids are the most domesticated of the thalassic types to humans, often naïve to trust them blindly. they also do possess the ability of electric shock, however it does take time to build up the voltage.
weaknesses:
for obvious reasons... because they are so blindly trusting and domesticated to humans, they often find themselves in trouble with those who don't care for hybrid lives. they're easily susceptible to harm, and due to their soft exterior, it's quite easy to hurt one of these hybrid types. if the ray hybrid uses too much electricity for their shock in one go, they risk harming themselves, even slipping into a coma.
mating period:
mid summertime (may to july)
gestation:
11 months
diet:
ray hybrids thrive best on a pescatarian or omnivorous diet, however can digest some healthier human foods.- eel
breed types:
moray eel, electric eel, cutthroat eel
strengths:
like some ray hybrids, eel hybrids can detect movement via electrical signals around them -- this doesn't take as long as the former type, and can be learned even by the younger types. they can also deliver an electric shock stronger than any other hybrid. this can give a little tingle, fully paralyze, or even kill their opponent, which makes them one of the closest predator-type prey hybrids out there.
weaknesses:
because of their constant electrical current running through their bodies, they're likely to shock those around them on accident. it tends to be quite the surprise to any owners or partners that they may have, and often is the reason for their ostracization from other hybrids. they also typically have poorer eyesight than others.
mating period:
fall time (october)
gestation:
6 months
diet:
eel hybrids thrive best on a pescatarian or omnivorous diet, however can digest some healthier human foods.- mollusk
breed types:
scallop, cuttlefish
strengths:
scallop hybrids and cuttlefish hybrids both have equally interesting strengths. scallop hybrids can produce pearls from their tears -- the iridescence and clarity of the pearls depends on the type of tears they cry -- the most beautiful and most bright being those of love. the duller being those of pain. cuttlefish hybrids have eidetic memories, able to recall with impossible accuracy, 100% of the time. they're often overused in this ability, using their memory for menial jobs for their owners.
weaknesses:
they are at the bottom of the food chain in terms of both predator thalassic and prey thalassic hybrid types. scallop hybrids often are overbred for their pearls, and then cast aside when they get too old to produce them. they are the most vulnerable, and thus need the most protection.
mating period:
twice a year (summertime and wintertime)
gestation:
1-3 months
diet:
mollusk hybrids thrive best on a pescatarian or vegetarian diet, however can digest some healthier human foods.

HALTERED HYBRIDS

here are our current breeds and species types of "haltered" hybrids, aka your domestic and typical pet breeds. if you believe another species or breed is missing, we'd love to work and potentially grow this list more! shoot our admin team a message~general rules about haltered hybrids: these are the typical house pets that are often acquired because they are the most domesticated and by the government's standards "safer for the home." this being said, they do have their animal counterpart's ears, tails, and general behavior and temperament. these also unfortunately are one of the most easily illegally obtained types because they're always so readily available due to overbreeding and backyard breeders.dog
breeds:
doberman, pitbull, dalmation, german shepherd, belgian malinois, husky, etc.
strengths:
all dog hybrids will have your general heightened sense of smell, as well as hearing. individual abilities are dependent on the individual breeds of dog hybrids (i.e. an akita can brave colder temperatures, whilst a chihuahua can not).
weaknesses:
once again, all dog hybrids have individual weaknesses based on breed, however one in particular not many pay attention to is they inherit their illnesses. they're more susceptible to arthritis, hip problems, heart issues, allergies. there are medications that can aid in making their conditions more comfortable, but at this time there is no cure if they do have any.
mating period:
three times a year, a heat/rut of 1 week-2 weeks
gestation:
3 months
diet:
generally dog hybrids have a gluten or wheat insensitivity, but that very seldom will stop them from consuming. dog food will irritate their human systems, thus a high protein diet is best but not required.cat
breeds:
maine coon, bombay, domestic shorthair, tortoise-shell, persian, etc.
strengths:
all cat hybrids generally inherit the flexibility and agility their animal counterparts do have, as well as their abrasiveness towards humans at first. they typically do land on their feet, and have a bond that will never be broken once they bring down their guards.
weaknesses:
they have the highest number of recorded hybrids due to overpopulation, and would usually be the first up in a kill shelter. also they don't have nine lives -- this not being the same for their animal counterparts either but rumors tend to cause more harm than good. up until a decade ago, the rule for shelter cat hybrids would require them to be de-clawed, but because of new laws protecting hybrid rights, this is no longer the case.
mating period:
five times a year, heat/rut of 10 days
gestation:
3 months
diet:
high protein pescatarian diets are better for cat hybrids, but once again they can process human food apart from dairy. most cat hybrids are indeed lactose intolerant.squirrel
breeds:
eastern grey squirrel, fox squirrel, southern flying squirrel
strengths:
squirrel hybrids have a bite force of over 7000psi per square inch, which humans only have 500psi -- this combined with their amazing climbing ability and enhanced self preservation and food resourcing make them a great addition to any pack.
weaknesses:
squirrel hybrids are often seen more as a pest than a companion, some adopt them to seem more "exotic" because who just has a squirrel hybrid? but because of this, and their higher maintenance, they're often discarded and left traumatized to wander the world before ending up in another adoption or worse, kill shelter.
mating period:
twice a year, summertime and wintertime
gestation:
4-6 months
diet:
the best diet for a squirrel hybrid can consist of human food, however it must be high in nuts and healthy fats. a squirrel hybrid's best treat will always be a jar of peanut butter!bunny
breeds:
netherland dwarf, mini lop, holland lop, flemish giant, hare, etc.
strengths:
bunny hybrids are, while cute, a force to be reckoned with. they are insanely fast when allowed to jump freely, they can jump up to 50 miles per hour in short bursts, and if captured can chew through just about any material, even some metals. they're also super intelligent and have excellent hearing, easily factoring the danger of a situation before them before proceeding with caution.
weaknesses:
bunny hybrids have a freeze button that presses as hard as possible when they're in fear -- it causes their bodies to become rigid and stiff, and they're easily prey on a platter for whoever comes to attack due to their very low bone density. they also have very high maintenance heat/rut schedules, and thus are often returned for that reason.
mating period:
late winter to early fall (march to september) off and on
gestation:
3 months
diet:
bunny hybrids can have a very diverse diet composed of many fruits, vegetables, nuts and alfalfa squares -- however they do on occasion need supplements to ensure they are getting all necessary nutrients for their human counterparts.rodent
breeds:
dormouse, hamster, chinchilla, capybara, beaver, ferret, etc.
strengths:
rodent hybrids can fit into extremely small places, some nearly flattening themselves out. they also can chew through just about anything similarly to bunny hybrids with minimal damage to their teeth. they're seen as the "cuter, cutest" hybrids, and are often adopted purely for purposes of showing them off.
weaknesses:
because most owners purchase and adopt a rodent hybrid, they don't keep them due to realizing halfway through that they are indeed work and require a very caring and attentive owner. they are also on the lowest end of the prey spectrum for all haltered hybrid types -- both due to their small size, and their lack of care from their owners.
mating period:
non specific, can mate year round
gestation:
9 months
diet:
rodent hybrids are likely best suited on an omnivorous diet, however they can digest human food as well so long as it isn't overly processed or greasy

AVIATOR HYBRIDS

here are our current breeds and species types of "aviator" hybrids, aka your bird types. if you believe another species or breed is missing, we'd love to work and potentially grow this list more! shoot our admin team a message~general rules about aviator hybrids: they typically all have good eyesight, some better than others, but it's important to know that their arms can retract their feathers and bring them back out in cases of needing to fly, which they can. wings when at rest and not in use or exposed, they'll mesh back to the skin as if they were tattoos along the body. aviator hybrids don't do well in isolation as they are generally very sociable, and they do not have beaks, only stronger bone density in their teeth. they're very hard to catch in the wild unless their wings are present, the only other way to tell is by their talons they have in place of their nailspredator:
vulture
breeds:
bearded vulture, king vulture, gyps coprotheres, andean condor
strengths:
vulture hybrids are the type to always get the easy kill. however, even if the kill isn't easy, the strength their teeth and beaks have luck on their side. their stomachs are unlike any other hybrid, breaking down nearly just about everything of their prey, and it dissolves quicker than any other digestive system both human or hybrid. they have perfect eyesight and sense of smell, being able to pinpoint an exact area of where a corpse may be. these hybrids are often trained and used as police side-arms in search party investigations.
weaknesses:
because they often eat what prey they can find, at least out in the wild, they can't detect when food is poisoned. many vulture hybrids are susceptible to poisoning, and it was often how they would be put into these training programs by the police department, until rights for hybrids strictly forbade any type of hybrid abuse by law enforcement apart from reasonable force. another weakness, like their animal counterpart, they have very weak achilles heels, thus making them more vulnerable on foot than in the sky.
mating period:
late winter to early summer (march to june)
gestation:
4 months
diet:
vulture hybrids thrive best on a purely carnivorous diet, even downright raw meat, however they can process some omnivore human foodsowl
breeds:
barn owl, great horned owl, snowy owl, oriental bay owl, spectacled owl
strengths:
owl hybrids come equipped with a multitude of strengths and exciting qualities, like precision hearing, incredible eyesight -- even with night vision. they also can, while it can be creepy to those who aren't used to it, turn their head 270 degrees (nearly 360 degrees around) to look directly behind them. this aids them to fend off predators and catch prey more efficiently.
weaknesses:
owl hybrids unfortunately are horrible swimmers. no matter how good their human counterparts are, they always require assistance if they fall into water otherwise they'll likely drown. they also cannot see well in bright areas, in direct sunlight -- it's painful for them and can cause vision damage if consistent enough. they are nocturnal hybrids, ones who like to remain in the dark.
mating period:
late summertime to mid summertime (march to august)
gestation:
6 months
diet:
owl hybrids thrive best on a purely carnivorous diet, even downright raw meat, however they can process some omnivore human foodscorvidae
breeds:
benetti, florensis, corone, forest raven, little raven, fan-tailed raven
strengths:
the crow and the raven hybrids are, while two different species of bird, are put under the same umbrella for a few reasons, one of them being their main strength being one of the few breeds of hybrids that are the most skilled craftsmen and women alive, even more than humans. they can take something as simple as a paperclip and rubber band, turning it into a propelling lockpick, or a long distance short term paralytic when pressed into the correct acupuncture point at the right time. they are incredibly intelligent, taking in all factors of a situation into account, and have the best memories of the aviator hybrid type
weaknesses:
raven and crow hybrids are often seen more as pests, usually being used for their master craftsmanship until they've grown too old to keep up, or they just become "too much of a nuisance" as the human world would call it. they also are very distracted, almost compelled by anything and everything shiny and trinket-like. most raven and crow hybrids keep a collection of things they've found, as it's customary to gift their mate with the most shiniest and beautiful item they hold close to them
mating period:
summertime
gestation:
6 months
diet:
corvidae hybrids can function on a human diet, however high in protein would be the most idealprey:
parrot
breeds:
sun parakeet, grey parrot, cockatiel, love birds, scarlet macaw, rainbow lorikeet
strengths:
parrot hybrids have a very well attuned sense of sight, their birds eye view being one of their greatest assets along with their bite force. parrots can be good singers, not like finches, some being bought and adopted to be on stage to bring in revenue, only to be locked back in their cages again once the shows were over
weaknesses:
parrot hybrids are often bought and adopted because they're the "exotic" type, the kind that people parade around with because of their beautiful colors, stunning feathers and beautiful voices, however they often are discarded under the guise of being "annoying" or "destructive" when truthfully it's because they're bored. parrot hybrids require a lot of attention, and when they aren't given the amount of stimulation they need, they tend to go a bit crazy.
mating period:
springtime to summertime
gestation:
7 months
diet:
parrot hybrids, like most aviator prey, best benefit from a high seeded diet, and can process some human foods without difficulty -- others give them a tummy achefinch
breeds:
strawberry finch, brambling, goldfinch, oak titmouse, shima enaga
strengths:
finch hybrids are the best, by far, singers of all the aviator hybrids the world has had to see. their voices are melodic as is, their cadences just simply by speaking being alluring and attention grabbing. their voices are their best selling point, and often can be their downfall by rude humans that don't know how to care for them
weaknesses:
because finches are beautiful, hypnotic singers, they are often purchased for this reason. they're overworked, not paid, and often, neglected unless it has anything to do with their humans' revenue being at stake. they're the smallest of the prey aviators, and thus the most easily susceptible to being prey for hunting
mating period:
springtime
gestation:
4 months
diet:
finch hybrids benefit best from a vegetarian diet with a sprinkle of seeds for healthy fatsdove
breeds:
mourning dove, luzon bleeding heart, diamond dove, fruit dove
strengths:
believe it or not, dove hybrids are one of the best leaders for packs of prey nature. they have what's called a built-in "e.c.c.a" -- and they have the best interpersonal skills of all the hybrid types. they are empathetic, communicative, collaborative and adaptive, and for this reason, many dove hybrids can live in secret. they have the highest self preservation of the aviator prey hybrids, and don't show any signs of changing that anytime soon
weaknesses:
dove hybrids are, unfortunately, seen as the "rats of the sky," in comparison to their full animal counterparts. doves are seen as birds of peace, harmony, love, but their hybrid companions don't get that same ideology. this being the case, they truthfully don't get adopted as often as they should, and unfortunately are at risk for euthanasia more often than not. thankfully laws are in place in which a shelter must prove the hybrid's temperament must be assessed to prove they qualify for it, but the pounds often fills in the blanks with lies to make room for more hybrids. it's unfortunate, but true
mating period:
spring time
gestation:
5 months
diet:
dove hybrids benefit best from a omnivorous diet with a touch of seeds for healthy fats

SAURIAN HYBRIDS

here are our current breeds and species types of "saurian" hybrids, aka your typical reptilian and amphibian breeds. if you believe another species or breed is missing, we'd love to work and potentially grow this list more! shoot our admin team a message~general rules about saurian hybrids: the saurian or reptilian hybrids, are classified into both predator and prey, and are part of the 'exotics' in typical hybrid shelters and pounds. they have the scales in patches along their bodies, and depending on the types, HAVE YELLOW TO GREEN COLORED EYES WITH THE TYPICAL SLIT-TYPE PUPIL. they are also all cold blooded, and thus need supplemental heat, sunlight, or extra layerspredator:
komodo dragon
breeds:
Varanus komodoensis
strengths:
a komodo dragon hybrid is one of the most dangerous of the saurian hybrid types -- the only one coming to a tie with it being the crocodile hybrid -- however both are dangerous in their own ways. the komodo dragon hybrid has a venomous bite, one that has toxins to inhibit any form of blood clotting. a bite from one of these hybrids is deadly, and it's even harder to kill one. these hybrids have the thickest skin, one that needs either a bullet or the sharpest knife in the world to penetrate; komodo dragon hybrids inherited their animal counterpart's armor-like skin, and can run up to 20 km per hour
weaknesses:
the weaknesses of a komodo dragon hybrid are far and few between. they are the type that is considered the "apex predator" of all saurian hybrids, and this tends to become an issue if law enforcement needs to get involved in an active case while also keeping them alive if they want to keep their jobs as is per the new law. the main weakness of komodo dragon hybrids is they are not good climbers. their claws aid them to run up into high trees and climb easily when they're young, but as they mature into adults they will not be able to climb hardly at all.
mating period:
may to august
gestation:
10 months
diet:
komodo dragon hybrids are best benefited from a high carnivorous diet, but they can survive on vegetation so long as they get some form of proteincrocodile
breeds:
gharial, siamese crocodile, nile crocodile
strengths:
crocodile hybrids also are the apex predators of the saurian types, the only thing differentiating them level-wise in comparison to komodo dragon hybrids being that they work best in water -- though they can be equally as dangerous on land. crocodile hybrids also have armor like skin, long rows of sharp and deadly teeth. if one ever finds themselves in the water under attack by one of these hybrids, they have a slim chance of escape. these hybrids are also capable of their animal counterpart's death roll, which makes it even more dangerous with how strong their bite force is.
weaknesses:
crocodile hybrids are ectothermic, or cold blooded -- they often can get sick if they're too cold for too long, and need prolonged exposure to sunlight or artificial heat to keep their body temperature regulated. they also unfortunately have a bad rap with the shelters and pounds, often being put straight for euthanasia rather than given a chance to find a forever home.
mating period:
late wintertime (january to february)
gestation:
5 months
diet:
a carnivorous diet would benefit crocodile hybrids best, but some human foods can be processed without issuesnake
breeds:
boa constrictors, bull snakes, kingsnakes, hognose snakes, corn snakes, pine snakes, etc.
strengths:
snake hybrids tend to be on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of predator saurian types -- however that doesn't mean they aren't equally as dangerous or strong in their own way. they are incredibly strong, and have a keen sense of smell like no other, that of which tangles with taste to gauge what's around them even in the dark. they are graceful, both in water and on land, and are the fluid movers even when they are simply walking or picking something up from the floor
weaknesses:
snake hybrids, while are predators, are also prey to avian types and other predator hybrids, generally. they lack endurance and stamina for long periods of time, which means they'll wear down oftentimes faster rather than not if their opponent is a stronger predator. they also like most saurian types, need temperature regulation due to being cold blooded
mating period:
late wintertime to late summertime (march to august)
gestation:
6 months
diet:
snake hybrid predators often chase and enjoy that of the rodent hybrids, however they'll live on a simple diet of various meats and other human delicaciesprey:
turtle
breeds:
red/yellow eared sliders, snapping turtle, leatherback sea turtle, kemp's ridley, etc.
strengths:
turtle hybrids have quite a few strengths -- they're one of the more stronger types of saurian prey, their backs the strongest parts of them, the bones of their spine being the most durable, and while the rest of their skin isn't even close to the durability, the skin of their back is almost like armor, bits of scales covering the more important organs from the back, though unfortunately this leaves their stomach, chest, and sides open to any predator.
weaknesses:
for obvious reason, the glaringly obvious weakness of the turtle hybrid is the slow speed they have. now they don't move at a snail's pace, they do have some speed to them, however a decently athletic adult human can easily out-run a turtle hybrid with little to no problem. they also need to wear a few extra layers simply because their skin is very easily susceptible to being damaged or them being hurt because they don't possess their animal counterpart's full body shell.
mating period:
springtime to fall-time
gestation:
5 months
diet:
turtle hybrids best thrive on a vegetation diet, even flowers, it all depends on the breed but some can process meats and fish just fine as welllizard
breeds:
iguana, chameleon, bearded dragon, gecko, skink, basilisk, etc.
strengths:
lizard hybrids are incredibly social saurian types, they're definitely one of the more "adoptable" from shelters and pounds, simply because their quirky and connecting personalities can convince prospective owners to take a chance on something so "eccentric." these types of hybrids are great swimmers, great climbers, and some can even fully camouflage themselves with their surroundings.
weaknesses:
like their animal counterparts, a lizard hybrid's tail is an incredibly crucial part to their balance, and if it falls off or is removed in a fight, it takes quite a long time for them to regrow it and re-learn that balance. some lizard hybrids freeze in the face of fear, like bunny hybrids, and they're left defenseless. they also will go into a near cryogenic state, collapsing even, if they're too cold for too long
mating period:
springtime to early summertime
gestation:
4 months

lizard hybrids can function off an omnivorous diet, but most human foods can irritate their tummies depending on breed

ARTHROPOD HYBRIDS

here are our current breeds and species types for our "arthropod" hybrids, aka your typical insect and while we know spiders are arachnids, we'll be placing them in with this particular section. if your believe another species or breed is missing, we'd love to work and potentially grow this list more! shoot our admin team a message!general rules about arthropod hybrids: the arthropod, or insect/arachnid hybrids are also classified as 'exotics' or 'pests' there unfortunately to most humans isn't an in between. they do grow wings at will or extra limbs as is specific to their insect/arachnid type, when at rest and not in use or exposed, they'll mesh back to the skin as if they were tattoos along the body. the best diets for moth types will be that of major vegetables, and those for arachnids and scorpions will be primarily meats. human food can be processed and digested, but it's not the healthiestmoths:
breeds:
rosy maple, luna moth, garden tiger moth, atlas moth, emperor moth, etc.
strengths:
moth hybrids are important for the pollination of local produce and flowers -- a simple touch to any type of plant can help heal and fully pollinate it as well as other plants nearby. moth hybrids also have a very keen sense of smell, and can use their wings to remain undetectable to even echolocation used by other hybrids.
weaknesses:
moth hybrids have a sensitivity and almost trance like state when it comes to light. sunshine is the main culprit for this most times, as if they step out into the sunshine without proper protective eyewear, they will immediately start sneezing repeatedly -- effectively spreading the dust they carry on their wings all around them as a defense mechanism. their wings also are very delicate, as the oils from anyone's hands can leave them with a detrimental effect if touched without washing with the proper moth-friendly soap prior.
mating period:
springtime
gestation:
6 monthsspiders:
breeds:
wolf spider, brown recluse, black/brown widow, huntsman spider, crab spider, etc.
strengths:
spider hybrids are one of the more... unique of hybrids, their eight limbs being able to contract back to their bodies at will, appearing as tattoos along the body. they are the best climbers of any of the hybrid types in any breed category. they can climb walls straight up due to the natural adhesive their hands and feet produce, and produce a kind of spider silk that is five times stronger than even steel. they also have venom in their saliva that they can produce at will.
weaknesses:
spider hybrids, along with scorpion hybrids, are the most feared despite their low level on the food chain. the amount of limbs seem to freak out the humans, and even though they retract the idea of knowing they're there just seem to be too much for them. citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, and oils like peppermint and tea-tree also can inhibit a spider hybrid's senses as it's a natural deterrent for them.
mating period:
fall time (september to november)
gestation:
6 monthsscorpions:
breeds:
arizona bark scorpion, stripe tailed scorpion, deathstalker scorpion, emperor scorpion, etc.
strengths:
scorpion hybrids have a type of venom attached to their stingers, which when exposed to humans, can either illicit a faint allergic reaction with some pain, or death. it all depends on the type of scorpion and what venom it possesses. due to their species, they also can retain water very well, their animal counterparts mostly living in the desert, and thus they can drink water and retain it for up to two weeks before needing another drink.
weaknesses:
scorpion hybrids are nocturnal, thus when exposed to light suddenly they freeze, much like lizard and bunny hybrids. they'll not survive too well in areas with permafrost, and they have the poorest eyesight of all the arthropod types. they have a decent sense of smell, but like spider hybrids they have a deterrent of vinegar, essential oils, like peppermint and lavender.
mating period:
early springtime (march to april)
gestation:
9 months
