Human/Centaurian: With the help of scientific interference a healthy hybrid was produced between a male Centaurian(marsupial mammal) and a female Terran(mammal). Although, genetically 50% Terran the hybrid’s genome favors his Centaurian heritage. Including having a carrier pouch. However, the Terran parentage does express itself in other ways: The fibers of the crest are not nearly as tightly held together as a purebred’s Tahlei. It is still supported by a bone crest, however it is smaller than normal, and the fibers behave more like thick hair. The nerve endings in the crest are not as pronounced and make the individual's empathic ability's harder to control.This hybrid is also able to grow a full beard (much to the fascination/horror of pure Centaurians). His hair also is continually growing so it does need to be timed every once in a while. Trimming does not harm him in the slightest so long as he doesn’t cut too close to the skin or nerve endings.The ears are smaller. The skin, eye, and hair color are lighter than the average Centaurians. The skin also flushes a rosy hue due to a lighter change in skin pigmentation given by the Terran parent. Markings along the body are more chaotic and are lighter. The individual is also shorter in over all height and lighter in weight compared to Centaurians, however, he is heavier than a human of the same size due to higher bone density.   The hybrid is able to communicate in both Common tongue and in the Centaurian native language with little problems. His voice is described as being unusually low for a Centaurian, and rather high for a Terrans. A-Chiltarian/Centaurian: With great difficulty the first hybrid from a male A-Chiltarian (insectoid mammal) and a female Centaurian (marsupial mammal). The extreme differences between species made this hybrid only one out of 75 attempts to survive infancy.This hybrid favors its A-Chiltarian parent. The hybrid lacks a pouch and is instead covered in a fine coat of fur. The Centaurian parentage is present in the small Tahlei that extends from the top of the head, like normal, down the neck and morphing into a thicker longer fur down the back that can be raised in piloerection. The nerve endings in the crest are almost nonexistent, and the individual shows no knowledge or indication that he posses any empathic abilities that he could have inherited from his Centaurian parent. The hybrid is taller and weighs more than the average Centaurian, and has thicker musculature. However, the hybrid’s bone density is lower and more suited to his  A-Chiltarian genome. The forked tongue, which is normally used to clean A-Chiltarian eyes, is not used for the same purpose. Instead the individual claimed that he can ‘smell scents’ better when tasting the air. This hybrid can’t talk in the high-pitched Centaurian language very well. His larynx is too low in the throat, and is not the appropriate shape. However, he can understand it better than any translator. The hybrids voice is more in tune with the low growling language of A-Chiltarians. Other A-Chiltarian claim that his voice is rather high pitched.
