Hybrid
Hybrids are a limited group of Felinekos, Caninus, and Humans created in artifically. They were introduced in Solatorobo: Red the Hunter and were further explored in its side-stories and subsequent games in the Little Tail Bronx series. They are essentially synthetic, genetically engineered lifeforms akin to "organic androids" in principle. Most Post-Reset races in the Little Tail Series are not considered Hybrids, despite Juno creating various new species.
Biology
Types
Most advanced hybrids behave no differently than any other natural born person, despite being genetically engineered. There are 2 types of Hybrids: Half Human and Full Human.
- Full Human are purely just human hybrids, usually featuring a more enhanced physiology compared to a normal human.
- Half Human are a mix of human and either Caninu or Felineko DNA, and typically appear as one race or the other.
Physique
Hybrids can appear as normal Caninus, Felinekos, and in very rare cases even human. Their ability to function normally varies dramatically, as many experiments would deteriorate and die rapidly while only some could live peacefully despite some complications. Those who aren't so lucky had been known to suffer random bouts of extreme pain, sometimes so much that it could cause vomiting.[1]
A very specific group of Hybrids, named "pseudo-hybrids", have the ability to switch between their normal bodies and human bodies either on command or unwillingly. Those who change form without control are typically transformed via a trigger or as they near death. Some pseudo-hybrids are permanently stuck in their human forms, leading them to cover the majority of their skin and facial features to better blend in with normal civilization. Pseudo-hybrids who can transform willingly tend to stick to one form rather than continuously swap.
Supernatural Abilities
Most Hybrids can exhibit abilities that no other Caninu nor Felineko can possess. These include but are not limited to clairvoyance, possession, memory manipulation, sensory-tuning via contact, and enhanced Robo control.
History
Solatorobo: Red the Hunter
Hybrids as a concept were first introduced in Solotorobo, first being introduced when Baion, Nero, and Blanck are revealed during the events of the game. Baion was originally created by Juno in order to activate the CODA command.
Several other Hybrids named after various colors, known as the Red Data Children, were also created by Merveille Million and Baion.
Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2
Several hybrids were created by Crusade in Old World France in order to combat Titano-Machina. There were created to pilot the Taranis and Belenos, with most dying during the testing of these Pseudo Titano-Machina.
