Hybrid/Legends

Rystáll Sant, a Theelin/Human hybrid

A hybrid was an individual with parentage from more than one sentient species.

Biology

The Human species was able to interbreed with the Coynite, Echani, Ferroan, Hamadryas, Kiffar, Miraluka, Nagai, Sith, Theelin, Twi'lek, and a number of other species. When Humans bred with the Kalai, the resulting offspring were known as Lethagoe and with the Zabrak the Dathomirians.

On the other hand, Humans were unable to interbreed with the Anzati, Qiraash, Rattataki, or Umbaran species. Humans were also incompatible with the Keshiri, and Tusken Raider species.

Other compatible hybrid combinations included Borneck with Etti, and Arkanian with Sephi. There was a half-Bothan population on the planet Farfalla. Other incompatible combinations included Gotal with H'nemthe, and Zelosian with Twi'lek and other humanoids. Moggonite were capable of interbreeding with at least one species.

Many species ostracized members who bore hybrid children.

Behind the scenes

According to Order 66: A Republic Commando Novel and Imperial Commando: 501st, and also the X-Wings series of books by Michael Stackpole and Aaron Allston, Humans and Twi'leks were genetically incompatible. However, Star Wars: The Clone Wars Character Encyclopedia directly contradicts this, indicating that such pairings could indeed produce hybrid offspring. As it is the most recent source, this article follows the Character Encyclopedia.
