Human-animal hybrids are beings that combine the traits of humans with those of animals, often through magical or divine intervention. These creatures possess both the intellect of humans and the physical attributes of their animal form, such as strength, speed, or agility. Hybrids often serve as intermediaries between the human and animal worlds.
In mythology, human-animal hybrids like centaurs or minotaurs are known for their dual nature, embodying both the best and worst traits of each species.
