So I of course know the show has werewolves and vampires. I was thinking about what if it had hybrids (half wolfy/half fang gang). Being twice as powerful, would Buffy or any other characters be able to take one down. I know Buffy could probably slay one, who else would be strong enough to ?
 
If magic is permitted, Willow and Tara probably could. Angel will give them a run for their money. Spike might have sneaky tricks.
Illyria would enjoy it more than anyone.
 
You would have to decide how to write a defense against them. Would a stake through the heart still kill them? Would a silver bullet still kill them? Or would you need both? Can a werevamp walk around in the sunlight? Interesting idea, but you have to decide how it works.
 
For this to happen, I'd see it as someone who is already a werewolf is then turned into a vampire. They retain their werewolf nature upon rising as a vampire.

Though there is no logic to the supernatural on the show (and it gets retconned whenever desired anyway), I'm still going to use logic and say that the vampire is dead, so diseases that need a living host can't live in it. Therefore, it can't spread its werewolf or vampire nature the way a werewolf can. I'm even going to say no on can a vampire turned by a vampire-werewolf make more vampire-werewolves (though if desired, could seek out werewolves to turn).

I'd say the vampire nature is dominant, perhaps enhanced sense of smell even by vampire standards. They could be killed as normal. If in the form of a wolf...well, that would depend. Nothing really survives beheading. A sword through the heart probably wouldn't kill an undead werewolf, however. Best to stick to crossbows. But how do you know if you're dealing with a vampire with werewolf traits, or an actual werewolf?

I could see an older vampire learning to control the beast within, changing at will.

Your point makes me think of when people ask what would happen if a zombie bit a vampire. My response to this argument is that a vampire is already dead, and therefore wouldn't become a zombie. Same applies to werewolves. :)
I decided I am gonna explore the whole “Hybrid” concept further by developing an OC. Im very interested in seeing how it fits into the show. If anyone has any suggestions Im open to hearing it.
 
Interesting idea! I agree with @thrasherpix that werewolf infection would have to come before they were turned into a vampire. Also, once they were a were-pire, if they bit someone and didn't kill them, would the victim be infected as a werewolf, even if they weren't turned into a vampire?
