===Real hybrids come in pairs===
Something not well known by lay people is that Real-life types of hybrids actually come in pairs, depending on which species is the mom and which the dad. Mules, for example, only happen when the horse is the mom and the donkey the dad; if the horse is the dad you get what's called a hinny. So if elves existed in  real life, A human mom and an elf dad would produce something with entirely different stats than the child of an elf mom and a human dad.

So all in all, a setting with humans, elves, dwarves, and halflings would have 12, types of hybrids... which probably explain why nobody ever does it this way, now that we mention it.
