Avea Trotter is, part centaur, part harpy

Hybrids are a type of monster in Monster High. A hybrid monster is usually the child of two different kinds monsters. For example Avea Trotter, who's mother is a harpy and who's father is a centaur, causing Avea to be a hybrid of those two kinds of monsters. There are also Fright-Mares, who are also hybrids but they were created rather than born.  

Monster High

Generation 1

Hybrid monsters first appeared in "Freaky Fusion", where we are introduced to four hybrids. Avea Trotter, who is a harpy/centaur, Sirena Von Boo, a ghost/mermaid, Bonita Femur, a skeleton/moth, and Neighthan Rot, a unicorn/zombie. In the TV special, it is revealed that hybrid monsters face prejudice and are frowned upon by other monsters, causing the four to be cold at first. They have been pushed around at multiple schools but felt a permanent home at Monster High.

In "Freaky Fusion", after an accident, four new hybrids are created from existing characters by fusion: Lagoonafire, Clawvenus, Dracubecca and Cleolei. Though before the TV special, Jackson Jekyll and Holt Hyde were introduced. Jackson is a human who is the descendant of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with a fire elemental alter ego. But it was never directly stated that he was a hybrid, as Jackson and Holt act as their own person rather than other hybrids that don't transform from one monster to another. Other hybrids in terms of appearance reflect their two different monster parents, and in most cases also have their parents' abilities as well.

It's most likely since Jackson/Holt are related to Jekyll and Hyde, it caused them to be able to shapeshift from human to monster, making them different from other hybrids.

Since Lagoona's mom is a sea nymph, Lagoona Blue is also a sea nymph, but her father is a water monster making her a hybrid but it's never explicitly mentioned.

Later the Fright-Mares are introduced, and unlike previous hybrids, fright-mares are created instead of born. They are created when a dream from a certain monster collides with a nightmare. Fright-Mares are also very small compared to other hybrids and other monsters in general.

Although Hexiciah Steam is never specifically referred to as a hybrid, his mother was a fairy and his father was a human.

According to Garrett Sander on his Instagram Stories, Deuce's father was a normie, which they never got to reveal. Meaning that Deuce is half human, half gorgon.

Generation 3

Clawdeen is Afro-Latina and a half-human, half-werewolf hybrid. She is the daughter of Apollo Wolf and Selena Wolf. She grows up unaware that she's half-monster, believing she was fully human. On her 15th birthday, Clawdeen received a special gift from her father: the Moonclaw Necklace, which belonged to her mother Selena, who went missing ten years ago. Following her instincts, Clawdeen found her way to Monster High. With the support of friends like Deuce, Draculaura, and Frankie, she begins to embrace her monster side. On that night, under the moonlight, the Moonclaw glowed, and she underwent a transformation into a werewolf, revealing her true nature. Now that the Headmistress knows she's half-monster, Clawdeen is finally accepted to enroll at Monster High, a place where she can truly belong, embracing both her monster and human sides.

Clawd Wolf is an Afro-Latino half-werewolf half-human and a student at Monster High. He was born after his sister Clawdeen Wolf, and grew up in the dimension of Beheme -- but due to time passing comparably faster in Beheme than it does on Earth, Clawd's already a teenager by the time he and Clawdeen finally meet in person (in fact, he's one year older than her). He also is the son of Apollo Wolf and Selena Wolf.

Demi Boovais is a recurring character of Monster High 2. She is a hybrid between ghost and human who idolizes Clawdeen. She formed the Hu/Mon (human-monster) Pride Club with other monsters, and also made buttons for the club.

Eddy Hyde Jr., who also goes by the last name Komos is a former teacher at Monster High. He is the son of the late Eddy Hyde, a Jekyll/Hyde monster, and Ms. Hyde (née Komos), a minotaur. Although his father was half-human on the Jekyll side, Eddy Jr. is fully monster. Because Eddy Hyde was banished to the human world for his human side, Eddy Jr. uses his mother's last name to hide his connection to his father and keep himself safe.

Watzie was created in the 1970s by Doctor Blunder, a clumsy mad scientist hoping to create a ferocious protector for Monster High. However, Blunder accidentally added too much Essence of Life to the concoction, resulting in a delightful puppy instead of a nightmarish beast. Horrified by their mistake, Blunder kept the creature in stasis for decades in the catacombs below the school.

After Blunder's death, the sleeping pup was rediscovered by Frankie, a frankenmonster created partly from Dr. Blunder's brain. Frankie rejected their brain piece's notion that the creature was a mistake and sparked the pup back to life. After that, Frankie adopted the pup as their own pet and named him "Watzie".

Description

Generation 1

Hybrids come in many different shapes and sizes depending on what their two parents are, as the hybrid child will pick up traits from both monster parents.

In the case of hybrids who are part human, they will usually look more like their monster parent while still looking a bit human. The one exception to this rule is Jackson and Holt with Jackson being human and Holt being a monster due to them being seperate personalities making them different from most other hybrids.

Fright-Mares are always half centaur and they are very small. 

Generation 3

The hybrids in this generation have mostly been human and monster hybrids so they usually tend to look mostly like their one monster parent or they can look mostly human with only some monster traits.

Though there is Watzie a pet who is composed of dog parts, dragon parts, and cybergenetic attachments, both to complete the construct as well as additional excess; he features functional wings with blue neon light tubes in the shape of lightning bolts. His artwork shows him black, white, and grey fur, with green streaks. He has stitches on his face and wears a pink ascot. His left eye is cybergenetic and glows blue when activated, while his right eye is green.

Abilities

Hybrids have certain abilities that depend on the abilities their parents have. For example, Neighthan has healing powers from his unicorn mother. While Sirena Von Boo has both ghost abilities and mermaid abilities.

• Dream Bending Tactic: Fright-Mares can change the dreams of monsters that they are crossed with, causing the monster to have good dreams.
