### Distinction

* An amalgamated species that possesses the combined traits and abilities of two or more supernatural species.

**Hybrids** are a crossbreed of two or more different supernatural species. The term is commonly used to describe a werewolf turned into a vampire due to the fact that they were the first supernatural hybrid to be introduced in the series. However, since the werewolf-vampire hybrid's creation, there have been other hybrids, such as siphoner turned witch-vampire hybrids, werewolf-witch hybrids, and, in the unique case of Hope Mikaelson, a witch, werewolf, vampire tribrid before turning into a witch, werewolf of both breeds, werejaguar, vampire tribrid or tetrabrid.

Hybrids possess both the strengths and some of the weaknesses of their parent races, along with powerful attributes unique to themselves alone due to their combined heritage. For werewolf-vampire hybrids, this includes day walking and being able to transform into a wolf without the Full Moon's influence. For siphoner-vampire hybrids, they retain their ability to siphon magic and their own vampirism as a power source for their use in witchcraft; as they did not possess their own magic as siphoners; this is a skill that makes them powerful.

## Creation

### The Original Hybrid

Niklaus Mikaelson was conceived when his mother Esther had an affair with Ansel, the Alpha of the North East Atlantic werewolf pack. Her affair, as well as Klaus' werewolf heritage, was kept a secret from everyone. However, when Klaus made his first human kill after being turned into an Original vampire, he triggered his werewolf gene, which turned him into the world's first hybrid.

When Mikael learned about his wife's infidelity, he killed Ansel and the werewolves. As a hybrid, Klaus had additional powers over his siblings and father. Esther, however, cursed him to cause his werewolf side to become dormant, as a duty to Nature to keep the balance as well as a way of atoning for her affair. She bound the curse with the blood of Tatia, the Petrova doppelgänger, and the moonstone.

In 2010, Klaus enlisted a witch, Greta Martin, to break the curse by sacrificing Jules, a werewolf, Jenna Sommers, a newly turned vampire, and Elena Gilbert, the Petrova doppelgänger.

### Werewolf-Vampire Hybrids

To become a werewolf-vampire hybrid, a werewolf must have either Klaus or Hope's Blood in their system before they are killed so they can awaken a short time later in transition. Because no regular vampire has ever attempted to use their own blood to turn a werewolf into a hybrid, it is likely that such an attempt would be unsuccessful. After a werewolf dies with Klaus' blood in their system, their transformation will be successful only if the wolf completes their transition by drinking the blood of a human Petrova doppelgänger. If a werewolf is turned with Hope's blood, her blood can also be used to complete their transition as well, just as a doppelgänger's blood would. So far, all hybrids have been created by Klaus; with the exception of Dwayne, Hayley, and Henry Benoit, who were created with Hope's blood. After Elena was turned into a vampire, her blood became useless to Klaus and he could no longer create more hybrids.

If a newborn hybrid feeds on regular human blood to officially complete their transition, the hybrid will become unstable, causing them to bleed from the eyes, become rabid, and eventually die in pain. This result was demonstrated during Klaus' first attempt to turn werewolves into hybrids in *The Hybrid* after he sired Paige's Pack. However, it is unclear why that happens. After being sired, they all began to experience unbearable pain and profuse bleeding from their facial orifices until they either killed each other, were mercy-killed by Klaus, or dying of failed transitions combined with exsanguination.

### Siphoner-Vampire Hybrids

The hybridization of witches and vampires is impossible. Witches are servants of Nature while vampires are aberrations of Nature. When a witch transitions into a vampire, they lose their connection to Nature and are unable to practice magic. However, a subsection of aberrant witches, known as siphoners, are unique to this. Siphoners have no magic of their own, yet possess the ability to siphon magic from others. When they are turned into a vampire, the siphoner witch retains their ability to siphon magic and, as a vampire, access to siphon from themselves to cast spells. Lillian Salvatore found and befriended a group of siphoners that were cast out from their coven, the Gemini Coven. Eventually she turned them into siphoner witch-vampire hybrids. Her "family" became known as Heretics.

### The Original Tribrid

The birth of Hope Mikaelson was one of Nature's loopholes. Sophie Deveraux explained that Klaus was only able to procreate due to being the Original hybrid; he was a born werewolf, turned into a vampire by magic, as opposed to transitioning by vampire blood. At the time of Hope's conception, Hayley Marshall was a triggered werewolf while Klaus was the Original hybrid. Hope Mikaelson was born as a living witch-werewolf-vampire tribrid, having inherited the ability to practice witchcraft from her paternal grandmother Esther, her werewolf gene from both her parents, and vampire heritage from her father. Though a tribrid, she was still required to activate her werewolf curse by killing another human as well as dying and transitioning into a fully activated tribrid.

Immediately after Hope's birth, Hayley was killed, but because Hope's blood was still in her system, she reawakened in transition, and eventually drank another drop of Hope's blood to complete her transition as a werewolf-vampire hybrid. It has been proven that tribrid blood is a powerful binding agent similar to doppelgänger blood. This eliminates the need for doppelgänger blood during the transition, though only the tribrid's blood can finish the transition of a new hybrid, thus the hybrid race still depends on a single and rare supernatural creature. Since becoming a fully activated tribrid, it is unclear if her blood can still create hybrids, similar to how Elena's undead blood become useless for Klaus.

Hope would eventually be bitten by then alpha, Derek Hale. She was transformed into his type of wolf and werejaguar. Before dying and coming back to life to access her vampire side be being the two wolf breeds and werejaguar her supernatural abilities heightened, allowing her to be stronger than an alpha. Dying and being reborn she became a true tribrid and nature allowed her as she's the only one strong enough to face the terrible threats.

## Powers and Abilities

* Vampire-Werewolf
* Vampire-Witch
* Vampire-Werewolf-Witch
* Vampire-Werejaguar-Witch
* Original Hybrid
* Original Tribrid

Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids have the powers and abilities of both werewolves and non-Original vampires, both physically enhanced powers and abilities of mind compulsion. Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids will grow stronger with age due to their vampirism and will also increase in strength when enraged, due to their werewolf side. Their strength will also increase during a full moon.

* **Super Strength:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids are stronger than Werewolves, Evolved Werewolves, non-Original Vampires, Supernatural Hunters, Immortals and Humans. Due to their vampire side, they also get stronger with age. The full moon will boost their strength and aggression. Older non-Original vampires may be stronger and more challenging for many newborn non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids. However, if a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid fights a non-Original vampire closer to their age range, the non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid will win. Ray Sutton (a dying transitioning, unsuccessful non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid) was shown to be very strong and nearly killed Damon, a non-Original vampire more than 170 years old, until Stefan saved him. Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids are even capable of putting up a fight against non-Original vampires well above their age range as seen when Tyler was able to gain the upper hand and bite Nadia, a 500 year old non-Original vampire. It should be noted that Nadia did manage to overpower Tyler eventually and escape, implying that she had equal or slightly superior strength. Julian, while possessing Tyler's body, was able to fend off both Caroline and Stefan and even managed to kill the latter through heart extraction. A non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid in werewolf-form will be immensely powerful and may be a slight challenge for even an original vampire.
* **Super Speed:** A non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid's intensified quickness, agility, reflexes, and endurance makes them faster than any werewolves, evolved werewolves, non-Original vampires, supernatural hunters, immortals and humans. Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids can use this ability in human or werewolf form. As with strength, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids get faster with time. The full moon will increases their speed and being in werewolf form will make them even faster. Tyler was particularly fast as a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid, being fast enough to surprise Klaus and stake him.
* **Super Agility:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids possesses much more superhuman stamina, flexibility, reflexes, agility and dexterity than immortals, non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves and humans. They can move, jump, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.
* **Super Senses:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids have extremely keen senses of hearing, sight, touch, and smell that exceed those of non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves, and humans. Since they're a supernatural crossbreed between werewolves and non-Original vampires, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids have the combined senses of both species thus making their ability extremely effective, Tyler Lockwood has been seen to use his super senses on multiple occasions such as when he overheard Katherine (in Elena's body) say that Caroline slept with Klaus or when he was able to hear Nadia compelling Matt but a prime example of this ability is in "Home", when Tyler is resurrected and hugs Caroline but then he tells her that it felt different, because he was no longer a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid.
* **Super Durability:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids can bear a lot of trauma. They also hardly ever get tired or fatigued. Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids can take far more trauma than any non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves and humans, without much discomfort or injury. Stakes and arrows can not kill a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid when they are struck in the heart, they merely become unconscious, they are able to resist the bullets created by The Brotherhood better than non-Original vampires as Stefan said to Tyler, that if he was a normal vampire he would be dead.
* **Enhanced Healing Factor:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids have the combined healing capabilities of both non-Original vampires and werewolves, rendering them practically invincible to anything but fatal wounds that can seriously impair their healing capabilities like decapitation or heart-extraction. They can recover/heal/regenerate from any injury much quicker and more effectively than any non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves and humans. They also seems to heal much more quickly when exposed to vervain, wolfsbane, or wood. Human blood has also known to make the healing process faster.
* **Immortality:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids stops aging the moment they transition. They become immune to all conventional diseases, toxins, poisons, viruses, illness, infections, and injuries.
* **Day Walking:** Due to their werewolf heritage, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids are immune to the lethal effects that u.v. rays and sunlight have on non-Original vampires and original vampires. Allowing them to walk in daylight without the use of a day ring.
* **Emotional Control:** Due to their vampire heritage, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids are able to exert certain control over their own emotions, e.g. They can turn off their humanity.
* **Enhanced Emotions:** Because of their vampiric and werewolf traits, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids experience emotions more powerfully than humans and non-Original vampires. Particularly emotions such as anger, rage, aggression and violence due to their werewolf heritage. Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids are more prone to violence and rage than non-Original vampires. However, emotions such as love, joy, and happiness are intensified for them as well, allowing them to live life more intensely. This ability allows them to feel emotions at their peak regardless of their age.
* **Lycanthrope Enhancement:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids are capable of using their werewolf features to further supplement their powers and abilities. Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids can grow claws from their nails and werewolf fangs from their teeth even when they are still in their human forms. When Klaus was in Tyler's body, it was shown that a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid's claws are sharp enough to penetrate a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid's very durable skin. Also non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids can display both sets of vampire and werewolf fangs. Their eyes also change into those of their werewolf form, presumably granting them better eyesight. Due to their werewolf heritage, a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid's strength and speed are heightened further during a full moon and at its peak in their werewolf forms.
* **Mind Compulsion:** A non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid can compel the minds of Humans. They cannot, however, compel original vampires, non-Original vampires, Supernatural Hunters, Witches or Werewolves.
* **Shapeshifting**/**Transformation Control:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids have the ability to transform into their werewolf forms at will. Most of them avoid transforming at all due to the pain it causes. They have complete awareness, but they still, however, have no control of their actions in werewolf form. They can also perform partial transformations, manifesting single features of their werewolf forms. Elijah informs Klaus that he remained a werewolf for two days, even when the sun was up. Showing that a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid can stay in werewolf form longer than a normal werewolf. As seen with Klaus when he bit Katherine, a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid can transform partially, displaying their werewolf eyes and teeth.
* **Sire Bond:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids seem to be sired to the source of their creation. Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids turned by Klaus had a deep sense of gratitude and commitment to him causing them to obey his every command. When Hope Mikaelson's blood was used to turn a werewolf into a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid it obeyed Hayley's plea for help as she was still pregnant with Hope and in danger. It is later revealed that Hope's blood like Klaus' carries a powerful sire bond effect causing any non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid created from her blood to protect and obey her. A non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid is capable of breaking a sire bond, if they transforms into their werewolf forms an excess of 100 times in a row. Transforming so many times in a row causes them to no longer feel pain from transforming into a werewolf and they no longer feel a sense of gratitude, commitment or loyalty to their creator breaking the sire bond. Like non-Original vampires/original vampires, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids can form a sire bond if the human they turn into a vampire has feelings for them before being turned. Although like non-Original vampires/original vampires, this is extremely rare.
* **Telepathy:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids have the ability, albeit a weak variant, to enter the minds of others as long as theirs is stronger than them. Normally, this ability works in a tactile fashion and the non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid requires physical contact in order for it to work successfully. Hayley have also been shown sharing her memories with others. Like their physical attributes, their mental strength increases with age.
	+ **Dream Manipulation:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids can control dreams and subconscious like non-Original vampires/original vampires. They can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability is the distortion of reality and trapped in the dreams.
	+ **Illusions:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids have the power to trick the minds of others into seeing/feeling things that aren't actually happening.
* **Werewolf Bite:** Due to their werewolf heritage, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids and Klaus have venom which is fatal to non-Original vampires and they themselves are immune to werewolf venom. Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid venom seem to take effect much faster than a normal werewolf venom.
* **Immunity to Silver:** Due to their werewolf heritage, magic bonded to silver doesn't affect non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids. Weapons made of silver might wound them, but the wound heals at super-normal rates than regular wounds.

A hybridization of a witch and a vampire has long been thought to be impossible. However, a subsection of mutated witches with the ability to siphon magic known as Siphoners have shown to bypass this rule. A group known as the Heretics consists of these hybrids.

* **Siphoning:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids possess the rare ability to absorb magic, in all forms, from another source.
* **Spell Casting:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids after having absorbed magic, possess the ability to cast spells like any witch.
* **Channeling:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids have the power to invoke extra forms of energy by focusing on external forces.
* **Telekinesis:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids after having absorbed magic, possess the ability to move objects and people with the mind like any witch.

* **Super Strength:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids have the same strength as that of non-Original vampires and are noticeably much stronger than Supernatural Hunters, Immortals and Humans and slowly grow stronger with time. They always have the advantage of superior strength in direct combat with a human. Their other feats include single-handedly lifting grown men high off the ground by the throat and snapping their necks, cutting off a person's head with their bare hands, and ripping out internal organs such as hearts with little to no effort. Their strength is also more powerful than that of Werewolves and Evolved Werewolves in human form. Their strength allows them to jump higher and further than any natural creature.
* **Super Speed:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids possess the same speed as non-Original vampires; able to accelerate their movements to cover short distances in an instant, faster than the human eye can see. When running across long distances, they appear as vibrating blurs of motion. Their reflexes are similarly heightened. Like their strength, their speed increases with age.
* **Super Agility:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids possess superhuman agility. They have shown that they can move, jump very high, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. They can jump with their super speed too. These abilities increase with age. Non-full vampire-witch hybrids do posses some non-human agility.
* **Super Senses:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids possess extremely keen senses of hearing, sight and smell that far exceed those of humans and werewolves.
* **Super Durability:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids can take a great amount of physical damage without being slowed down. Even vampires who have been shot with wooden bullets have been seen to continue fighting, as long as they were not shot in the heart, or the head. As they get older they become more powerful.
* **Healing Factor:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids possess the ability to recover tissue from any form of physical damage to their bodies in seconds, but still feel the pain of a wound before it heals. Vampires can snap their bones back into place after being broken and have been seen to fully recover from gunshots, stab wounds, and torso impalement. Non-full vampire-witch hybrids do have the healing factor as vampire blood run's through their veins.
* **Immortality:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids stop aging once turned. Upon their transformation, they become immune to all conventional illness, diseases, viruses and infections, though the exception is cancer, which can only be exacerbated by vampirism.
* **Day Walking:** Due to their Siphoner heritage, non-Original witch-vampire hybrids are be immune to the lethal effects that u.v. rays and sunlight have on non-Original vampires and original vampires. Allowing them to walk in daylight without the use of a daylight ring.
* **Enhanced Emotions:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids experience emotions more powerfully than humans. Emotions like love, joy, and happiness are magnified for vampires, allowing them to live life more intensely.
* **Emotional Control:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids have the supernatural ability to remove or dull their emotions by "turning off" or "switching off" their humanity which is directly connected to their emotions. Doing so allows them to block out their more negative emotions, such as fear and guilt, allowing them to feed and kill without remorse.
* **Mind Compulsion:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids have the ability to influence and control thoughts, emotions, and behavior and can alter or erase memories.
* **Sire Bond:** Although rare among them, sire bonds can be formed when a human is turned with the blood of the vampire whom they had strong human feelings for.
* **Telepathy:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids have the ability, albeit a weak variant, to enter the minds of others as long as theirs is stronger than them. Normally, this ability works in a tactile fashion and the vampire requires physical contact in order for it to work successfully. Like their physical attributes, their mental strength increases with age.
	+ **Dream Manipulation:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids can control dreams and subconscious. They can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability is the distortion of reality and trapping people in their dream.
	+ **Illusions:** Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids have the power to trick the minds of others into seeing/feeling things that aren't actually happening.
* **True Face:** A non-Original witch-vampire hybrid's true face is the appearance they are hiding under their normal human face. When their true face is revealed, the sclera of their eyes turns blood-red, dark veins appear under their eyes as the blood pumps forcefully through them, and their canine teeth extend into razor-sharp fangs. Their true face can be revealed whenever they wish, but it will appear against their will whenever they are aroused by the scent of blood, or are feeling intense emotions such as anger, lust, sadness, etc. Their fangs are extremely sharp which gives them the ability to tear into almost any substance (including and especially flesh) and tear off limbs. Their true face will appear for the first time, either while they drink human blood for the first time or shortly afterward. With the fangs come the darkened veins under the eyes as well.

These tribrids have the powers and abilities of werewolves, witches and non-Original vampires have physically enhanced powers and abilities of mind compulsion. They will grow stronger with age due to their vampirism and will also increase in strength when enraged, due to their werewolf side. Their strength will also increase during a full moon.

* **Shapeshifting:** Non-Original witch-werewolf-vampire tribrids have the ability to shape their features into that of a partially lupine form, which involves glowing eyes, fangs, claws, a ridged brow, pointed ears and large sideburns. With practice, Werewolves can learn how to only transform a few selective features as needed, such as only extending their claws to cut something, their fangs to bite something, or simply making their eyes glow to enhance their eyesight or display their supernatural nature.
	+ **Advanced Shapeshifting:** Some Werewolves, typically Alphas (though occasionally Betas and Omegas as well), can shapeshift into more animalistic forms, such as transforming into a full wolf, or into a more beast-like monstrous form.
* **Pain Absorption:** Non-Original witch-werewolf-vampire tribrids have the ability to absorb pain from animals, humans, and other creatures through tactile contact. This is usually done by touching the person who is in pain, or the injured body part and drawing the pain into themselves, which manifests as the Werewolf's veins darkening as their body processes it. Initially, a Werewolf can only essentially "take the edge off" of a person's pain level, but with practice, they can eventually learn to take it completely.
* **Super Strength:** Non-Original witch-werewolf-vampire tribrids have the same strength as that of non-Original vampires and are noticeably much stronger than Supernatural Hunters, Immortals and Humans and slowly grow stronger with time. They always have the advantage of superior strength in direct combat with a human.

Vampires can snap their bones back into place after being broken and have been seen to fully recover from gunshots, stab wounds, and torso impalement. Non-full vampire-witch hybrids do have the healing factor as vampire blood run's through their veins.
* **Immortality:** Non-Original witch-werejaguar-vampire tribrids stop aging once turned. Upon their transformation, they become immune to all conventional illness, diseases, viruses and infections, though the exception is cancer, which can only be exacerbated by vampirism.

* **Enhanced Emotions:** Non-Original witch-werejaguar-vampire tribrids experience emotions more powerfully than humans. Emotions like love, joy, and happiness are magnified for vampires, allowing them to live life more intensely.
* **Emotional Control:** Non-Original witch-werejaguar-vampire tribrids have the supernatural ability to remove or dull their emotions by "turning off" or "switching off" their humanity which is directly connected to their emotions. Doing so allows them to block out their more negative emotions, such as fear and guilt, allowing them to feed and kill without remorse.
* **Mind Compulsion:** Non-Original witch-werejaguar-vampire tribrids have the ability to influence and control thoughts, emotions, and behavior and can alter or erase memories.
* **Sire Bond:** Although rare among them, sire bonds can be formed when a human is turned with the blood of the vampire whom they had strong human feelings for.
* **Telepathy:** Non-Original witch-werejaguar-vampire tribrids have the ability, albeit a weak variant, to enter the minds of others as long as theirs is stronger than them.

	+ **Illusions:** Non-Original witch-werejaguar-vampire tribrids have the power to trick the minds of others into seeing/feeling things that aren't actually happening.
* **True Face:** A Non-Original witch-werejaguar-vampire tribrid's true face is the appearance they are hiding under their normal human face. When their true face is revealed, the sclera of their eyes turns blood-red, dark veins appear under their eyes as the blood pumps forcefully through them, and their canine teeth extend into razor-sharp fangs. Their true face can be revealed whenever they wish, but it will appear against their will whenever they are aroused by the scent of blood, or are feeling intense emotions such as anger, lust, sadness, etc. Their fangs are extremely sharp which gives them the ability to tear into almost any substance (including and especially flesh) and tear off limbs. Their true face will appear for the first time, either while they drink human blood for the first time or shortly afterward. With the fangs come the darkened veins under the eyes as well.

Klaus has the powers and abilities of both werewolves and original vampires, both physically enhanced powers and abilities of mind compulsion. Klaus will grow stronger and faster when he is using his lycanthrope enhancement due to his werewolf side. His strength and speed will also increase during a full moon. Klaus is slightly more physically powerful than his maternal half-siblings, even more so when enraged, using his lycanthrope enhancements or when he is in his werewolf form; due to his werewolf heritage.

* **Super Strength:** Klaus is much stronger than immortals, Supernatural Hunters, non-Original vampires, werewolves, Evolved werewolves, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids and humans. He is able to decapitate other species with a single chop and shatter windows and doors with small objects. He is even slightly physically superior to the Original vampires, even more so when enraged, using his lycanthrope enhancements or when he is in his werewolf form, due to his werewolf heritage; Elijah and Kol have displayed the ability to fight Klaus on almost equal terms, though not enough to defeat him. Elijah has been able to fight Klaus to a stalemate and has even defeated him once, while Rebekah has been easily subdued, though unlike Elijah, Rebekah very rarely fights back. Klaus' strength is enough that he could kill twelve non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids single-handedly, and was able to fight and kill twenty four non-Original vampires on his own with only some difficulty as well as kill six evolved werewolves with little difficulty. Klaus has also been able to put up more of a fight against beings who have overpowered his siblings in strength, such as holding Alaric to a standstill over the White Oak Stake when he had become an Enhanced Original vampire whereas Rebekah was easily overpowered. In *The Devil Comes Here and Sighs* and in *Where Nothing Stays Buried*, Lucien, an Upgraded Original vampire, was proved to be much stronger than Klaus in their confrontations.
* **Super Speed:** Klaus' intensified quickness, agility, reflexes, and endurance makes him much faster than immortals, non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids, supernatural hunters and humans, he is slightly faster than his Original Vampire maternal half-siblings, as he once said, "I'm faster than your average vampire", even more so when he is using his lycanthrope enhancements or when he is in his werewolf form; due to his werewolf heritage. He is able to stop other supernatural species in their tracks and run miles in mere minutes. His reflexes are similarly heightened, as he once caught Connor's arm before the latter could stab him with a small stake; he later saved both himself and Connor from an explosion intentionally triggered by Connor to kill both them and Damon. Only Marcel and Lucien, as Upgraded Original vampires, have been able to surpass his speed.
* **Super Agility:** Klaus possesses much more superhuman stamina, flexibility, reflexes, agility and dexterity than any immortals, non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids, and humans, even slightly more than original vampires. He can move, jump very high, flip, climb and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.
* **Super Senses:** Klaus has a more enhanced sense of hearing, sight and smell that far exceeds those of any immortals, original vampires, non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids and humans.
* **Super Durability:** Klaus can take far more trauma than any immortals, original vampires, non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids and humans, without much discomfort or injury. However, like with his maternal half-siblings, he has never been dismembered throughout the series, implying that his durability may be close to invincibility though he can still be hurt. Wood, and White Oak Ash Daggers do not weaken him, making him virtually indestructible.
* **Enhanced Healing Factor:** The injuries of Klaus heal faster than those of supernatural hunters, original vampires, non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids and humans. He also seems to heal much more quickly when exposed to vervain, wolfsbane, or wood. He can heal/recover/regenerate from any and all injuries in a matter of seconds. Vervain or wolfsbane laced liquid has also been shown to weaken him, though he recovers from the effects much more quickly. Human blood has also known to make the healing process faster.
* **Immortality:** Klaus is even more immortal than his maternal half-siblings. With the last White Oak Stake destroyed, no physical weapon on earth can kill Klaus. Nothing but immense magical power worth a hundred witches summoned by an exceptionally powerful witch can kill Klaus. Despite the extent of his immortality, Klaus still needs to feed otherwise he will desiccate and become immobile just like any other immortals, original vampires, non-Original vampires or non-Original hybrids. It is unknown if the bite of the Beast could kill him due to his werewolf heritage, but both Marcel and Lucien believed so.
* **Day Walking:** Due to his werewolf heritage, Klaus is immune to the lethal effects that u.v. rays and sunlight have on vampires. Allowing him to walk in daylight without the use of a day ring.
* **Emotional Control:** Due to his vampire heritage, Klaus is able to exert certain control over his own emotions, e.g. He can turn off his humanity.
* **Enhanced Emotions:** Because of his vampiric and werewolf traits, Klaus experience emotions more powerfully than humans, original vampires and non-Original vampires. Particularly emotions such as anger, rage, aggression and violence due to his werewolf heritage. Klaus is more prone to violence and rage than original vampires and non-Original vampires. However, emotions such as love, joy, and happiness are intensified for him as well, allowing him to live life more intensely. This ability allows him to feel emotions at his peak regardless of his age. Klaus has been shown experience emotions as powerfully today as he did 1,000 years ago.
* **Lycanthrope Enhancement:** Klaus is capable of using his werewolf features to further supplement his powers. Klaus can grow werewolf claws and fangs even when he is still in his human form. Klaus can display both sets of vampire and werewolf fangs. His eyes also change into those of his werewolf form, presumably granting him better eyesight. Due to his werewolf heritage, Klaus' strength and speed are heightened further during a full moon and at its peak in his werewolf form.
* **Mind Compulsion:** Klaus can compel the minds of most sentient creatures; humans, non-Original vampires and non-Original hybrids. He cannot compel supernatural hunters that are members of the Five due to them being immune to mental manipulation. Klaus cannot compel werewolves, evolved werewolves, and original vampires. His inability to compel werewolves was even confirmed by Ray Sutton.
* **Shapeshifting**/**Transformation Control:** Klaus has the ability to transform into his werewolf form at will. Elijah informs Klaus that he remained a werewolf for two days, even when the sun was up. Showing that Klaus can stay in werewolf form longer than a normal werewolf. As seen with Klaus when he bit Katherine, Klaus can transform partially, displaying his werewolf eyes and teeth.
* **Sire Bond:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids turned by Klaus had a deep sense of gratitude and commitment to him causing them to obey his every command.
* **Telepathy:** Klaus has the ability, albeit a weak variant, to enter the minds of others as long as his is stronger than them. Normally, this ability works in a tactile fashion and Klaus requires physical contact in order for it to work successfully. Klaus has also been shown sharing his memories with others.
	+ **Dream Manipulation:** Klaus can control dreams and subconscious like vampires/original vampires. He can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability is the distortion of reality and trapped in the dreams.
	+ **Illusions:** Klaus has the power to trick the minds of others into seeing/feeling things that aren't actually happening.
* **Werewolf Bite:** Due to his werewolf heritage, Klaus has venom which is fatal to non-Original vampires and Klaus himself is immune to werewolf venom. Klaus' venom seem to take effect much faster than a normal werewolf venom and a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid venom.
* **Werewolf Bite Cure:** Klaus' blood is the only cure for a normal werewolf or a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid venom, this ability seems to be unique only to Klaus and his daughter, Hope. Klaus' blood won't cure a bite from the Beast.
* **Immunity to Silver:** Due to his werewolf heritage, magic bonded to silver doesn't affect Klaus. Weapons made of silver might wound him, but the wound heals at super-normal rates than regular wounds.
* **Procreation:** Sophie explained that Klaus was only able to procreate due to being the Original hybrid — a born werewolf, turned into a vampire by magic — Nature's loophole. This has since been made impossible.

The full extent and limits of Hope's powers are currently unknown.

* **Werewolf Gene:** Being part werewolf, Hope's body contains the werewolf gene that provides her with standard werewolf attributes and provides her with enhanced senses, such as hearing, sight, and smell, as well as heightened aggression. Hope even demonstrated that she can tell when someone is lying to her by listening to their heartbeat. Klaus states, in response to Caroline's question, that Crescent wolves and by extension, they, cannot control their first transformation despite being able to control their shifts with Transformation Control as Evolved werewolves.
* **Vampire Gene:** Being part vampire and prior to transitioning, Hope's body naturally produced vampire blood, constantly running through her system, tainted with dark magic. As a fully transitioned tribrid, she seemingly possesses all the abilities of at least a non-Original vampire such as compulsion.
* **Werejaguar Abilities:** Hope was turned into a werejaguar by Derek Hale when he was an alpha. All of her abilities were amplified from the bite, making her stronger than an Alpha.
	+ **Enhanced Healing Factor:** Hope can heal from injuries with a speed comparable to normal vampires. Her blood also retains the vampiric ability to heal others as Hope was able to heal her mother while in the womb.
	+ **Siring:** Hope's blood has the ability to turn werewolves into werewolf-vampire hybrids as long as they drink her blood before dying and after, completing the transition.
* **Witch Gene:** Being part witch, Hope can channel vast amounts of mystical energy. According to Dahlia, as a firstborn of her bloodline, Hope has the potential for great, but destructive magic. As a fully activated tribrid, she can still practice magic and cast spells.
	+ **Channeling:** Hope has the power to invoke extra forms of energy by focusing on external forces.
	+ **Potion Brewing:** Hope has the power to brew and concoct potions, remedies and elixirs that have supernatural properties.
	+ **Spell Casting:** Hope has the power to change and control events through the use of incantations and more.
	+ **Divination:** Hope has the power to divine future, past, and present events based on extrasensory perception.
* **Werewolf Bite Cure:** Hope's blood is the only cure for a normal werewolf or a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid venom. Like Klaus' blood, their blood cannot cure a bite from the Beast.

* **Heart Extraction:** Removing a non-Original witch-vampire hybrid's heart will result in an instant death.
* **Herbs:** Ingestion of certain herbs can cause a witch-werewolf hybrid to lose consciousness and prevent them from using magic for a undetermined amount of time.

* **Wood:** Stakes can harm and kill a non-Original witch-vampire hybrid.
* **Cancer:** Although vampires cannot catch diseases and illnesses such as cancer, if a human has active cancer and is turned into a vampire, the effects of the cancer will increase. The regenerative properties of vampire blood will speed up the replication of cancer cells of and exceed normal stages of the condition. The effects on non-Original witch-vampire hybrids would most likely be effected the same way as non-Original vampires.

However, wood from what appears to be a Scared Oak tree can permanently destroy them as Nature created a balance near the site of the tribrid's birth through the sapling that Hope, Lizzie, Josie, and Selena created. This weapon is the only thing powerful enough to kill Lizzie, Josie, and Selena.

* **Desiccation:** Being completely drained of blood or the heart-stopping will cause a full Tribrid to desiccate due to their vampire side, losing most of their strength and any ability to move. This process can be replicated artificially by magic.
* **Unique Physiology:** Being born with aspects of all three species, their nature is somewhat at odds with each other. Dahlia deduces that without proper guidance, Hope's potential as a firstborn of her family's bloodline will prove destructive and unstable when mingled with vampire blood and werewolf aggression.
* **Wood:** A wooden stake through the heart will desiccate them and temporarily "kill" them. However, wood from what appears to be a Red Oak tree can permanently destroy them as Nature created a balance near the site of the tribrid's birth through the sapling that she, Lizzie, and Josie created.
* **White Oak Ash Daggers:** A collection of enchanted silver daggers dipped in the ash of the white oak tree will neutralize Hope when stabbed through the heart, cause her to desiccate. However, the effects are only temporary and they will wear off in a short amount of time.
