Lore Post #3: Hybridization? (Patreon)

When two people love each other very much... 

When two separate species create offspring, it will take on the appearance of one of the parents completely regardless of who gestates and gives birth, as seen in the lefthand example. The crow and coyote are celebrating a little baby coyote, but the crow parent is sure to show them how great shiny things are.

On the right is two generations to show the exception that magical people inject into families. Grandparents are a chicken and manticore, and their daughter is a chicken with some extra features (and abilities?). The manti-chick has a child with a tapir, and as you can see, the baby has features not present in their manti-chick parent. The magic associated with manticores may diminish with each generation, or it may simply become harder to control.

One can also have hidden genes from a great-grandparent that might surface in their child, skipping the parents entirely. Also should be noted that birds, reptiles, et al. give live birth like humans. Just to keep it simple :)
