Asian hybrids are a popular type of mythological character that is common to almost all the mythologies of the region. The hybrids include creatures who show characteristics of multiple animals within their physicality or special abilities. They can also include animals displaying human characteristics like speech or walking upright.

The presence of hybrids within Asian mythology is never a deterrent from the main storyline but an addition to the whole cosmology. They generally reside on earth with human beings either in a positive or negative capacity. They can also be living along with the main gods of the pantheon or also function as special creations meant to accomplish a certain objective.
