The '''Mixed Blood''' group is technically not an actual race itself, but merits being mentioned. Half-breeds do occur, and in some places they are quite common. The most common combination involves a [[human]] and another more obscure race. Mixed bloods are either a combination of both their bloodlines in personality and skill, or are more prominently one way or another. See individual race writeups for more information. | The '''Mixed Blood''' group is technically not an actual race itself, but merits being mentioned.

The Mixed Blood group is technically not an actual race itself, but merits being mentioned. Half-breeds do occur, and in some places they are quite common. The most common combination involves a human and another more obscure race. Mixed bloods are either a combination of both their bloodlines in personality and skill, or are more prominently one way or another. See individual race writeups for more information.
There are several races which simply do not interbreed. These are the Charodae, the Jamoura, the Nuit, and the Pycon. Other races can reproduce, but some of their racial traits are not carried over. For example, Dhani can interbreed with other races, but rarely if ever (special permission required) are they able to shapeshift. The Akvatari are able to mix with other races, but while the child will have a tail, it will not have wings. The Zith also reproduce with other races, yet are never born with wings.
In addition, several races as part of their biology, simply reproduce their same type of race, no matter what other type of race they blend with. The Akalak, for example, will only sire a male child who is also an Akalak. The Konti, an all female race, will only give birth to a female Konti. There are no 'mixed breeds' when one parent is either of these two races. However, the one exception to this is if a Konti female and an Akalak male parent a child together. They may birth a full Konti or a full Akalak, but 25% of the time they will sire a true half-breed between the two. These children are exceptional and special, honored by both races.
