Ike’s genetics are so messed up he doesn’t even wanna think about having biological children anytime soon.
Do you like bandanas? I have restocked some sold out colors of my extinct animal bandanas!!! Check it out!

Its also possible crossbreeds are completely sterile since its how many hybrid animals are in real life.
But again with magic at play, I imagine it can be hard to say.
With a caveat to that, yes. What I mean is for example: Tiger/Lion hybrids. IIRC, ligers end up sterile, but female tigons are fertile (male tigons tend to be sterile). No, i don’t know the biology behind that, though it’s another flavor that could be added to fictional hybrids (that certain genders are fertile and also father/mother line dependent).
Actually female ligers have been documented producing offspring.
It’s something called Haldane’s Law
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haldane%27s_rule
Basically w/ hybrids where one of the sexes would be either sterile or inviable, it’s the sex w/ the differing chromosomes. This is why, for example male hybrids (having XY) like mules and ligers, are sterile, while the female offspring (having XX) are able to produce offspring (altho it’s still fairly rare).
I think it has to do with the fact that the parents have a different number of chromosomes due to being different species (horses and donkeys for example have differing numbers of chromosomes-62 and 64 respectively-while dogs and wolves have the same number-78). They’re close enough in relation to be able to breed, but their differing numbers of chromosomes cause some whacky stuff to happen w/ the produced offspring.
Kory,
It’s been established that there are bakenekos in the Skin Deep universe. What about nekomatas?
Rhonda looks like she wants to help science get some data there … :->
It probably depends on whether or not feline liminals have barbed penises.
It would be cute if the kid looked like a bohemian lion, but had some of Ike’s powers.
I imagine Ike would be the kind of good dad who’s constantly worried that he isn’t a good dad.
I could imagine the same thing with Greg.
Cute little baby with a set of shark teeth :o
When you’re asked an awkward question but you’re crush/gf is all for it.
Also, I’ve wondered about similar situations like this. Like what if two cross breeds married and then their children were all quadruple-cross breeds?
About to start my second day of senior year of college, and this was just the cuteness I needed. Given any thought to Knuckers/ Wisconsin Kobolds? I would also like to see Stanley’s family tree – I expect the Avalon has been keeping his species like prize pets for centuries – or what the average dwelling of mythical creatures was before the Avalons? Did they have cross-species towns or try to settle by themselves?
Then if Crosscrossbreeds are possible, people start to ponder if Crosscrosscrossbreeds are possible…
How long do critters bugbears summon stick around for? Like way back when Myra horked a bat onto Jim’s face, since I doubt that bugbears have mouth/throat pouches so they can spit various creepy critters at people that annoy them.
Have some cryptozoology from my hometown :D https://exemplore.com/paranormal/Rebob-The-Flying-Monkeys-of-Napa-Valley
Rhonda is my favorite character. I will never forget when she met his mother. It was amazing. :D
Well crossbreeds might just be how all these random species got established originally… magic horse plus magic bird = pegasus for example. Would explain why so many of them look like two species mashed together.
On another note, I really want to see a hellbender totem.
Oh my god, that’s so cute it should be a crime. Lookit how proud of themselves the little cub looks.
Hey Kory is there a way to order commissions without getting a patreon? Because I am not seeing a way via your website.
If there is a way please leave a link in the reply thing below this comment.
Just shoot me an email to kory at korybing dot com and we can talk about it
Okay dokey.
Thanks.
Yikes. :D
Though you’ve made me more amenable to ‘How in the heckie’ lately. :D
So reverse gryphons have a lion head and a bird-ass.
Are there any other “reverse” creatures?
That is cute as heck
