Hybrids

Hybrids are unique animal species created by The Shepherds. The original hybrids—canines with a ridge of poisonous spines along their backs—were created by Robert Oz while the Shepherds were working on the cure for the animals. Other hybrids were later created and used by Abigail Westbrook for a secret plan under the code name Blue Diaspora. Abigail’s hybrids were:
 * rhinoceroid creatures described as resembling mammoths
 * avian hybrids are capable of burrowing in to the earth and strong enough to cause earthquakes when working together as a flock
 * massive snakes capable of full camouflage even while moving in both natural and man made habitats
 * sea creature based hybrids capable of existing out of water, and capable of both generating electricity and having a natural immunity to hybrid spores
 * Abendegos, a male humanoid or great ape hybrid who was capable of replicating human speech when he was a child

“Hybrid spores” are a biological defense generated by hybrid eggs, and are lethal to humans.

Trivia
The vulture hybrids are the only creatures out of all other hybrids with the ability to fly, and dig underground.

Despite Abendegos being somewhat humanoid-looking his creator, Abigail Westbrook is the only hybrid to be human.

The tentacle hybrid is the only marine creature, while the snakes are the only reptiles.
