Sorry for taking a while, I was busy with irl stuff.

In short, some mythicals originate from humans being modified to be more animal-like, and some were animals modified to be more human-like.

P and Argos, for example, both originate from lineages of humans who were transformed. As such they can still have kids if they pair up with humans, and sometimes the "mythical gene" can skip a generation.

Meanwhile Themba and the grootslangs do not descend from humans in any way, so they can't have kids with humans.

That's what I meant for the longer answer.

Humans can transform into mythicals? That raises a whole heap of questions but the biggest of all is what happens if the owner of the hotel is transformed into a mythical? do they immediately lose the status of Hotel owner and the hotel remain without an owner until another human is chosen?

Going by the Constitution, there's no requirement that the master be human, only that ownership may only be transfered to someone born of human parents. The Master could probably test whether or not Oscar's dad was human by attempting to pass the hotel to him.

that's a very interesting thought, I wonder how else they could test that.

if the hotel can already identify such a thing, it's then just a matter of writing a contract. like, make some kind of room that is only accessible if you have certain characteristics. we know the hotel is capable of such tricks, like making sure you can get back to the lobby if you think of it. or get you somewhere specific if you take a specific combination of directions. the layout of it doesn't need to make physical sense of it's locations.

I wondered how human detection could be used in some way or some mechanism that benefits the hotel or can be helpful to someone in some way. Like what good can be squeezed out of it. Maybe there's a practical use of it for security or safety or for everyday purpose or something. It's got to be something it could be useful for other than just a rare thing like determining one's origins.

basically it can enforce certain society norms. like gendered spaces, 18+ spaces, staff only. this kind of segregration can be polemical, however, such as racial divides. the hotel could be able to apply it, the real question is wether it should.
