### Distinction

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

**Hybrids** are a cross-breed 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 cross-breed hybrids revealed in the series' universe, such as siphoner turned witch-vampire hybrids like Avani Mikaelson, and werewolf-witch hybrids. In the unique case of Viviana Mikaelson, she is a full vampire-werewolf-siphoner tribrid. In the unique cases of Hope and Faith Mikaelson, vampire-werewolf-witch tribrids and in the unique cases of Jesus, Valentina, and Lillian Mikaelson, vampire-werewolf-siphoner tribrids.

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 humans, this is a skill that makes them powerful.

## Creation

### The Original Hybrid

*Main article: Niklaus Mikaelson*

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. However, his werewolf nature was bound by Esther with the Hybrid Curse, causing it to become dormant.

### The Original Heretic and The Original Tribrid

### Werewolf-Vampire Hybrids

To become a werewolf-vampire hybrid, a werewolf must have either Klaus, Viviana, Jesus, Valentina, Hope, Faith, and Lillian'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. After Elena transitioned into a vampire, her blood became useless to Klaus and he could no longer create more hybrids. If a werewolf is turned with Jesus, Valentina, Hope, Faith, or Lillian's blood, their blood must be used to complete their transition. Since Jesus, Valentina, Hope, Faith, or Lillian's transitions into tribrids, their blood has never been used to create any new hybrids or vampires.

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. Klaus learned of these results when he first attempt to turn werewolves into hybrids in *The Hybrid* after he sired Paige's Pack. However, it is unclear why this happens. After being sired, they all began to experience unbearable pain and profuse bleeding from their facial orifices until they killed each other, mercy-killed by Klaus, or died of failed transitions combined with exsanguination.

### Siphoner-Vampire Hybrids

*Main article: Gemini Coven* & *Heretics*

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. Viviana Parker and Lillian Salvatore found and befriended a group of siphoners that were cast out from the Gemini Coven. Eventually, Viviana turned them into siphoner witch-vampire hybrids — her "family", the Heretics.

### The Tribrids

*Main article: Jesus, Valentina, Hope, Faith, and Lillian*

TBA

### Vampire-Dragon Hybrid

*Main article: Kaleb Hawkins*

Though an unconventional and unique "hybrid," Kaleb Hawkins was transformed by the golem Malivore by transferring a dragon into him while as a non-original vampire. Malivore used him as a thrall to which he could directly control to do his bidding. When Faith stabbed Kaleb in the dragon's soft spot, Kaleb temporarily died and later revived. Though the effects of Malivore's control and the possessing dragon were gone, he retained some of his dragon abilities, describing himself as only "part" dragon. For a lack of a better description, he is classified as a vampire-dragon hybrid, though the term "hybrid" was never used. Furthermore, Kaleb doesn't fully understand his new dragon-nature. He also refers to the duality of abilities as his "monster" side, which in some situations seems to be able to take over to the extent to where he can't control himself.
