Dude, I live in the real world, I can only suspend my disbelief so much! I can't just forget how mules are made! The brain keeps thinking and it doesn't stop when I tell it to lol
the species thing isn't exactly what you said. there are 3 things that can happen that i remember:
1: most cross-species breeding results in nothing.
2: some, like horses and donkeys, or tigers and lions, results in babies that will grow up normally except that they can't breed themselves.
3: and rarely, like in grizzlies and polar bears, the result is a baby that will grow up perfectly and still be fertile
interbreeding in DnD would be the 3rd option.
There are cases where species can have a fecund offspring, like the axolotl and the tiger salamander.
or homo sapiens and homo neanderthalensis
Polar bears and grizzly bears too.
