Half-breed^[1] (aka crossbreeds)^[2] are any species or individual biologically related to at least two separate species. The term half-breed was used by orcs and ogres to refer to Rexxar in the Third War.^[3] Half-orcs, half-elves, and half-ogres are examples of half-breeds.^{APG 34, 36 HPG #?} Rexxar and Med'an are examples of half-breeds. It can be used as either a technical^[4] or derogatory term. Half-breeds are occasionally treated as hybrid races, though the reverse may not always true.

While some custom character models may be created for especially notable half-breeds, they are typically represented in World of Warcraft by existing models.
