'''Elmiform hybrids''' are individuals born to parents who are both [[Elmiform|elmiforms]], but not the same species. The only hybrids of this sort which naturally happen without medical intervention are [[clúnydd]] (technically), [[dwyllnar]] and [[ferur]]. These are called ''natural hybrids''. Others instead require in vitro fertilisation with genome manipulation to form. These ''artificial hybrids'' are rare, and complications during foetal development aren't uncommon. Artificial hybridisation continues to be a contentious topic within the medical community, although moral and ethical concerns don't seem to impede its popularity between interspecies couples.
Below is a table showing the different types of hybrids based on parentage.

== Hybridisation methods ==
Since the first julmian (julean-elmian hybrid) was successfully born, the medical field has had time to standardise and stabilise two major hybridisation processes, with varying safety and reliability.

=== Qaoraŋ process ===
The Qaoraŋ process is the oldest hybridisation method to be introduced. It involves both parties being genetically edited so that they produce gametes that are compatible with each other. It is not very reliable and usually results in miscarriages, but still enjoys some popularity in that it allows one party to be physically pregnant and does not require in vitro fertilisation.

=== Zarje method ===
The Zarje method involves a pair of gametes being genetically altered and introduced to each other in vitro. This method is by far the most popular in that it has the best and most consistent results.

== Natural hybrids ==

=== Clúnath ===
{{Main|Clúnath}}
Clúnydd, while considered their own species given their biochemical differences from [[Feld|felds]], can only reproduce by hybridising with them. As such, all clúnydd are genetically, at least in part, felds.

=== Dwyllnar ===
Dwyllnar are formally defined as clúnydd with 30% or more feld content in their genome. This may happen due to hormonal interference while the foetus develops. While outwardly not very different from full clúnydd, they may present differences at neurological and psychological levels.

=== Ferur ===
95% of the time, a clúnath will sire a male. The remaining, extremely rare 5% of female children are, due to hormonal interference, genetically mostly felds. Their clunic ancestry will present itself as a pair of clúnath-like horns, which may be passed down with each subsequent generation. However, because the gene that makes these horns grow is recessive, not all ferur will present them.

== Artificial hybrids ==
Artificial hybrids are infertile in their vast majority. As such, their only chance at continuing their bloodlines is by further hybridisation. This is inadvisable, however, given that, with every generation of hybrids, the chances of birth defects increases exponentially.

=== Julmian ===
Julmians ([[Áonak language|Áonak]]: ''čul·lüq'', [[Amari]]: ''yeva-elluk'') are artificial hybrids with one [[julean]] parent and one [[elmian]] parent. They were the first artificial elmiform hybrid. Externally, julmians vary in their appearance, depending on the hybridisation method used and the percentage of genetic information from each parent. Generally, there are two major subtypes of julmian based on the configuration of their internal organs: ''internally julean'' and ''internally elmian''. Internally julean julmians will usually also externally present more julean traits, such as their antennae and prehensile feet. Conversely, internally elmian julmians will present more elmian traits, such as the [[photodermal patch]].

=== Felmian ===
Felmians (Áonak: ''puel·lüq'', [[Phyrean language|Phyrean]]: ''fwyluc'') have one [[feld]] parent and one elmian parent. They were the second elmiform hybrid to be explored, much later than julmians. Unlike julmians, because felds and elmians have essentially the same internal configuration, they usually aren't subdivided. Appearance-wise, the feld and elmian traits average out, with the photodermal patch usually appearing "broken" (separated between the nose and the horn).

=== Xeenar ===
Xeenar (Áonak: ''genar'', [[Khot language|Khot]]: ''xeenar'') have one [[clúnath]] parent and one elmian parent. Their name comes from Khot, and means "star person," the general khot term for "alien." Appearance-wise, they usually inherit the fur tones and horns of their clúnath parents, as well as a photodermal patch.

=== Yeveld ===
Yevelds (Amari: ''yeva-fel'', Phyrean: ''jefwyl'') have one feld parent and one julean parent. Internally julean yevelds may present antennae and prehensile feet, while internally feld yevelds may be more canine-like in their appearance.

=== Juleenar ===
Juleenar (Amari: ''yeva-klunas'', Khot: ''iefanar'') have one clúnath parent and one julean parent. As far as artificial hybrids go, these are the most recent development. They are poorly studied and difficult to actualise, and a 75% of juleenar pregnancies, both in vitro and natural, have ended in miscarriages.{{Sophonts}}
