It was stated somewhere in the Shadowrun Rulebooks (Shadowtech maybe?)
that there are no such things as cross-breeds. If an Ork and a Troll
should breed the result will be either Ork, Troll, or Human. As I
understand it the Meta-genes don't mix. If you don't get a full set
of one or the other, you end up as human (or perhaps as non-viable.)
It's been a while since I read this, so I don't remeber it all too
well.
