Hybrid Au — Blackbeard Pirates

Ah, hybrid headcanons... the thing I do in every fandom I write for, sooner or later. >3> I'd addressed the topic much more briefly here, but this is the first fully-written hybrid info post on this blog! I spent literal days researching these/typing them out, so I hope y'all enjoy the weird-ish xeno as much as I did... :`D

This character group is up first since they've been stuck in my brain for WEEKS now, and I expect there will be more to come soon! And ofc, requests/questions for this Au are very much encouraged!

((Warning for slight nsfw— specifically, discussion of hybrid genitalia in a biological/medical perspective.))

. . .

Marshall D. Teach — Hippopotamus

Physical

Small, rounded ears covered in a thin, sparse layer of fur. Highly mobile (can fold back almost flat to his skull) and tend to move or flick along with strong emotions.

Short, thick tail with a flat-ish shape and a tuft of fur at the end. Small enough on him that it can easily go unnoticed.

Tusk-like teeth that are more widely spaced (especially in front) than a normal human’s. The upper and lower canines poke out a bit even when his mouth is closed. Special muscle structure allows his jaw to open disturbingly wide.

Built thick and solid, with dense bones and more muscle than his pudgy-looking shape suggests.

Sheathed penis that stays almost entirely retracted when not erect. Testicles are closer to the body/less visible than on a normal human.

Behavioral

Naturally territorial, especially toward other males. Can turn aggressive with very little warning when what’s “his” is threatened.

Territorial tendencies lessen if he feels subordinate to someone else; a (often subconscious) hierarchy of dominance influences his behavior. Kneeling is an instinctive gesture of submission.

Keen sense of smell. Strong mental association between scents and the people, places, etc. that are connected to them.

Plays into his species’ highly misleading reputation of being cute/silly, both so that people are more likely to underestimate him, and (less openly admitted) because he likes the attention.

A sizable portion of his time is spent “resting”— unmoving, eyes closed, and lost in thought. This state is easily mistaken for proper sleep, but he’s still nowhere near unaware or slow to react.

Jesus Burgess — Giant River Otter

Physical

Long, sturdy tail covered in a layer of silky-textured brown fur. The tail itself is solid and powerful, and the fur on it, which looks darker when wet, is dense enough to be nearly waterproof.

Stronger teeth than a normal human, as well as a powerful jaw. Nails are sharp and claw-like, and his hands and feet are partially webbed.

Highly sensitive whiskers around his chin and nose. Different than normal human facial hair, they’re meant for gathering sensory input while underwater.

Capable of a wide variety of inhuman vocalizations, ranging from growls to whines. Most of them are instinctive (and somewhat involuntary), and he usually has little idea what the sounds mean.

Partially sheathed penis that emerges when erect. Close contact and roughhousing tend to get him excited... and his self-control only gets worse when he’s distracted by lust.

Behavioral

Strong hunting instincts; he’s programmed to hunt, and a lack of entertainment quickly leads to aggression. High energy, and gets dangerously agitated when confined for too long.

Matching the need to hunt, he’s excitable— when something gets him worked up, his self-control plummets.

Naturally social, with an instinctive need for a hierarchy. While he’s prone to vying for dominance, if someone establishes themself as the leader, he’s surprisingly cooperative. Isolation and a lack of companionship do terrible things to his mental state.

Prefers having a “den” to himself, and can be picky/territorial about the space he considers his own. The notable exception to this is for people he’s close to; if anything, he’d rather have them close.

When he does get attached to someone, he forms strong, long-lasting bonds. Within these bonds, he’s intensely loyal and annoyingly clingy.

Van Augur — Spectral Bat

Physical

Delicate, leathery wings, covered in a fine layer of reddish-brown fur, emerge from his shoulder blades. The thumbs at their upper tips have a recurved claw, and the membrane of skin between the fingers heals quickly if injured or torn.

The wings are big enough to support short bursts of flight, but that same size puts a strain on his back and shoulders. Prone to aching muscles because of this.

Large, rounded ears that look similarly delicate to his wing membranes. They protrude forward and away from his head at a cute slightly awkward-looking angle.

Sharp teeth with notably oversized canines. Even the molars farther back have sharper edges than human teeth should.

Penis is somewhat tapered (broader near the base, narrowing toward the tip) and has a flatter, less-defined head than a normal human’s.

Behavioral

Prefers small, dark, enclosed spaces for sleeping in, to the point where feeling too exposed can make it impossible to sleep at all.

Naturally nocturnal. Though he can force himself to keep a more daytime-based schedule when it’s needed, he’s nowhere near as alert or quick to react as he is after the sun is down.

Capable of accurate echolocation through low-frequency sounds that normal humans are unable to hear. His vision is good enough that he doesn’t have to rely on it too often, but the skill comes in handy when there’s not enough light to see normally.

Though typically introverted and reserved, when he does get attached to someone, the bond runs deep.

Usually keeps his wings tucked close to his body when not using them, both to keep them out of the way and as a sort of self-comfort. Also sleeps with his wings folded around himself.

Laffitte — Barn Owl

Physical

Has large, feathered wings with an impressive wingspan. The wing feathers are mostly white (or at least, a very light gray-brown), but marked with dark speckles and bands of pale gray.

More patches of feathers are scattered around his back (especially near the base of his wings), neck, and shoulders.

Can make a variety of inhuman noises, ranging from a rather eerie-sounding screech to a cute, purr-like trill that he claims is a show of contentment. The sounds come out more frequently (and with greater variety) around people he’s attached to.

Extremely keen senses, especially sight and hearing. He’s sensitive to loud noises, and acutely aware of every movement around him.

Cloaca instead of external penis and testicles, with a small bump near the upper edge that resembles a glans in appearance and sensitivity.

Behavioral

Naturally nocturnal, but can adapt to a daytime-based schedule if the need arises. He’s still functional like that, just not quite as alert.

Molting makes him short-tempered and dangerously irritable. Between the danger that poses to others and his overall discomfort/dislike of being seen with patchy, unkept feathers, he’ll isolate himself as much as possible during the worst of the process.

Though not particularly territorial towards others, he has an acute sense of what area is “his”, and a detailed mental map of that space.

Has a slight nesting habit, though he’ll usually suppress the urge unless his living situation is particularly secure. Enjoys snug, enclosed sleeping places that feel hidden from any passerby.

Can be somewhat anxious about food supply; slight hoarding tendencies start when he’s particularly stressed. Prone to offering food as a gesture of affection to people he’s fond of.

Doc Q — Sorraia Horse

Physical

Small, tapered oval-shaped ears with fur that’s a dull shade of gray-brown. They’re positioned higher on his head than human ears would be and have a wide range of motion.

“Mane” of hair trailing from his nape down to around his shoulder blades. Most of it is the same pale blond as the rest of his hair, but the hue gets darker as it gets farther from his head.

Long, thin tail that falls to a bit above his knees; the coarse hair that covers it nearly touches the ground when he’s standing, and is the same shade as the fur on his ears and mane.

His digestive system (suited only to small, spread-out meals) is unfortunately delicate.

Partially sheathed penis that’s surprisingly large for his narrow build. Due to the amount of redirected blood, erections make him dizzy.

Behavioral

Perceptive and easy to startle, though his outwardly laid-back demeanor can somewhat conceal it.

A prey animal at heart, he prefers to avoid unnecessary conflicts. He’d rather leave things up to luck and spare himself the stress... especially because said stress has highly unpleasant effects on his health.

Between his perpetual sickness and his body’s finicky dietary needs, he struggles to maintain much body weight.

Feels more comfortable with a “herd” to stick close to, and suffers psychologically if he’s on his own for too long. Isolation is instinctively anxiety-inducing, even when there’s a rational cause.

Prone to nervous habits, like nail biting, pacing, and picking at clothing seams. They get more frequent (and more self-damaging) when he’s especially bored, stressed, or physically uncomfortable.

Shiryuu — Doberman Pinscher

Physical

Triangular, black-furred ears that stand upright (cropped many, many years ago). The fur on their insides is a lighter, brighter shade of brown, and they tend to be sore from hours spent squashed down under his ever-present hat.

Short, thick nub of a tail (docked at the same time his ears were cropped), usually hidden under thick layers of clothing.

Stronger, sharper teeth and nails than a human. Those teeth come with a strong jaw and powerful bite force; impressive enough to have led to the occasional muzzling for “safety”.

Thicker, coarser body hair than a normal human, especially around his lower limbs and the base of his tail.

Sheathed penis that emerges fully when aroused. The part that’s exposed only when erect is vivid, flushed red, and a knot swells low on the shaft during/after ejaculation.

Behavioral

Needs purpose, rules, and routine to function properly. When he’s bored and unoccupied for too long, all the pent-up mental energy starts slipping out in unpleasant ways (for example, violence).

Having something to chew on serves as a sort of self-comfort; his cigar is an acceptably dignified way to satisfy that urge.

Wary of unfamiliar people and places to an intensity that borders on paranoia. Too much time caged in isolation left his natural guard-dog tendencies with no other outlet.

Easily trainable, in the sense that once he forms a habit, it sticks. His famously bloodthirsty behavior is one such result.

When he’s attached to someone, he can be surprisingly clingy. His loyalty is hard-earned, but an instinctive protective streak will eventually start to surface.

Catarina Devon — Spotted Hyena

Physical

Small, rounded ears that sit higher on her head than a normal human’s would. The fur on them is short, fluffy, and a light shade of sandy brown, with a surprisingly coarse texture.

Short, fluffy tail covered in matching sandy fur that darkens dramatically near the tip.

Claw-like (though relatively blunt) nails and sharp, durable teeth with pronounced canines and a powerful jaw behind them. Enough bite force to crack bone with relative ease.

Functions best on a meat-based diet. Although she can digest even bones with no ill effects, she finds such “scraps” beneath her.

Clitoris is enlarged to a psuedophallus, which becomes erect with arousal. There are small, rough spines around its tip.

Behavioral

Inclined to a hierarchy-based perception of social relationships, and is dramatically more aggressive toward those who she views as submissive to her in that sense.

Highly territorial, both over space and possessions. Can easily get violent over perceived territory offenses.

Denning tendencies; her sleeping space is of great personal importance, and she’ll go out of her way to make sure it’s safe and comfortable. Somewhat prone to hiding/hoarding food in her room as well, most frequently when she’s stressed.

The posture of her ears and tail indicates emotion— for example, flattened ears and a tucked-in tail show fear.

Though she tries to keep the sounds contained, inhuman vocalizations slip out from time to time. These can range from growls, yips, and whines to the famous hyena “laughter”.

Avalo Pizarro — Pallas Cat

Physical

Small, pointed ears covered in fluffy fur. The fur is blueish gray on the backsides, with a darker-colored rim, and white in front/inside.

Long, thick tail with a dense, plush layer of fur; most of it is the same blueish gray as his ears, save for a black tip, a few rings of black above that, and some sparse, scattered flecks of white. This fur is incredibly thick and serves as excellent insulation against cold.

Thicker, more visible body hair than a normal human, with notable patches on his chest, stomach, lower limbs, and along his spine near the base of his tail.

Sharp, pointed teeth with prominent canines (both upper and lower). Claw-like nails that grow in a slight recurved hook.

Penis has short, dull-ish spines most highly concentrated around and just below the glans. The spines are sensitive to pressure.

Behavioral

Naturally solitary, and prone to territorial impulses. This preference is only overlooked for the sake of (properly worshipful) attention from others... and even then, his moods can be fickle.

Spends a lot of time napping, with energy levels that peak around dawn and dusk. Notably more awake and alert at night.

His fur requires a lot of time and effort to maintain. The fur on his tail (where it’s thickest) is the most high-maintenance, and he’s quite particular about keeping it groomed. He’ll often pester others to do the work of brushing it for him.

Can purr, but doesn’t do it often. The sound only comes out when he’s feeling particularly relaxed, safe, and/or content.

Denning tendencies; needs somewhere familiar and safe to hide away and sleep. Despite his massively fluffy, cold-resistant fur, he’ll hoard bedding just for extra comfort.

Vasco Shot — Red Wattle Hog

Physical

Floppy, triangular-shaped ears covered in a fine layer of reddish, russet-brown fur. Both ears have a number of notches along their edges, and slight scarring along some of those old tears.

Short, curl-shaped tail with matching russet fur and a thicker, darker tuft of hair at the end. There’s some visible scarring along the length of it, and the curl has grown slightly crooked.

Two small “wattles” of skin just below his jaw, with one on each side. They also grow fur, but less than his ears or tail.

His lower canines are long enough to poke out even when his mouth is closed. They grow slowly, but continuously, and need to be worn down to prevent their length from becoming unmanageable.

Penis has a slight curved shape, a tapered tip with a less defined glans, and a small, semi-functional sheath around the base.

Behavioral

Highly social, with a reliance on scent and physical closeness to stay emotionally stable. Isolation does terrible things to his mental state, and he gets lonely easily.

Not particularly territorial (or at least, not naturally). Gets more aggressive toward others when living conditions are poor. When he’s comfortable and not anticipating sudden threats, a lot of his usual violent behavior vanishes.

Easily bored, and prone to impulsive, destructive choices when it gets bad enough. Having something in his mouth to mess with (whether food or the rim of a booze bottle) is a favored solution.

Inhuman vocalizations are common, especially short, oinking grunts that can indicate a surprisingly wide variety of meanings.

When he’s especially relaxed around someone, lightly bumping his nose against them is an instinctive show of affection.

Sanjuan Wolf — Burmese Python

Physical

Snake tail in addition to human legs. The tail is long (nearly his total height over again), thick, and strong; its scales are tan, with a pattern of darker reddish-brown blotches outlined in cream.

Scattered patches of scales across his body. The largest one starts at the base of his tail, spreading upward to cover his groin and most of his lower back. Other notable patches include ones on his throat, stomach, shoulders, and upper limbs.

The scales along the anterior body side, joints, and inner legs/arms are lighter-colored and softer than the main patterned ones.

Slightly forked tongue and sharp teeth, with prominent, fang-like canines. Fangs lack venom.

Two-part hemipenes that emerge from a horizontal slit low on his pelvis when aroused. No external/visible testicles.

Behavioral

Despite his massive size and the strength that comes with it, he’s generally docile (nearly timid, even) unless provoked, and easygoing enough not to mind being handled or ordered around.

Cold-blooded, and drawn to heat because of it. His sheer size helps keep him warm to some degree, however.

His tail often tries to wrap around nearby objects. It’s a subconscious reflex (and something of a self-soothing method) that gets harder to control when he’s distressed.

His scales (both the ones on his tail and in patches elsewhere) shed from time to time, and the process isn’t pleasant. Without enough humidity and suitable surfaces to rub the scales against, he’ll spend a few days in miserable discomfort trying to get the shed off.

Poor eyesight, but acute sense of smell and heat make up for it. Aware of even much smaller living things due to the warmth they emit.
