Hybrid (mythology)

Ok, so you know how there are different creatures in stories and mythology, like dragons and unicorns and mermaids? Well, sometimes those creatures can have parts from different animals all put together. That's what we call a hybrid.

For example, imagine a creature that has the head of a lion, the wings of an eagle, and the body of a horse. That's a hybrid! We call it a griffin. People made up these creatures a long time ago and they don't really exist in real life, but they're fun to talk about and draw pictures of.

In mythology, sometimes hybrids are important characters or creatures that have special powers or abilities. For example, there's a creature called a centaur that has the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse. In stories, they're often shown as really good archers because they're part horse and have really good aim.

So, in short, a hybrid is a made-up creature that has parts from different animals put together, and they can be important characters in stories and mythology.
