Hybrid

**Hybrids** are beings with two life forces, born from two different races or species. Usually, at around age 16-18, the two life forces of a hybrid clash violently against each other because they are incapable of coexisting. It's the reason why by the time a hybrid's mana core reaches full maturity at 20 years of age, it can't cope with the conflict anymore and the hybrid is forced to pick one life force. Hybrids always retain the mass of the smaller of their two sides until they turn 20 and are forced to choose between them. Only those who decide to keep their nature as an Emperor Beast grow in size like their parent.

Hybrids are capable of shapeshifting from birth, though they have little control over their strength.

After a hybrid chooses between their two life forces, their energy signature changes, breaking their imprint on their artifacts for a split second.

A hybrid's blood is lesser than the sum of its part due to the unstable nature of a body with more than one life force. Both the hybrid Eldritches and Lith need a perfect balance to exist whereas pure blooded creatures have an inferior evolutionary potential but possess greater powers.

## Beast Hybrids

### Meneos

**Meneoses** are plant-animal hybrids that lost the ability to Awaken due to their fallen state and are monsters as rare and hard to kill as a Grendel. They are still able to draw upon world energy as long as they touch the ground in a quasi-Invigoration, but become partially deranged. For this reason Meneoses are called living mage towers. Meneos don't need breathing techniques to constantly regenerate their strength and they can recover from any wound simply by extracting the nutrients from the soil. They are unstoppable predators, but once their weakness is exposed, they become sitting ducks.

Meneos look like a lion, but have a brown body and a deep green mane. Their height at the withers reaches 7 meters (23 feet) and they have violet eyes. Its species is almost extinct due to how dangerous they are, with the few remaining specimens left found only in the most isolated places of Mogar or in Leegaain's biomes. They are extremely resilient to magical and physical damage, even able to withstand penetration to the head.

### Werefolk

*Main article: Werefolk*

**Werefolk** are human-beast hybrids born out of experiments with Forbidden Magic in the attempt to create soldiers capable of using magic like magical beasts. They are different from normal hybrids because by having a second body and a second core, each life force has its respective space, keeping the conflict between them from reaching a critical point.
