Mongrel

Mongrel is the name given to individuals with mixed hominid ancestry, including those descended from forced hybridizations or curses.
The word Mongrel is used as an insult by the Altan towards other species. Members of higher social classes who fall under this term are referred with less offensive words such as half-breed.
Depending on their appearance and/or ancestry, they are treated with different privileges or discriminated against.
Originally, the term Mongrel was used for the offspring between humans and Altan, but over time and with the emergence of multiple human hybrids with other species created by the Sorcerers, as well as the constant crossbreeding of these new species, the term became detached from its original meaning and is now used to refer to any individual who is not an Altan.
