Most often it's because they are magical, in some way or another. Like how Swallow Demons fly only partially because of their birdlike, hollow bone structure. Mostly they fly because the atoms that make them up don't seem to submit to gravity like they should. They don't handle magic, they are magical."
"A bad blood-cross is when someone with magic-handling genes has a child with someone who has Other blood in their background. Magical Other blood and human magic-handling blood do not mix well. Nine times out of ten, the child turns out to be very inventive, very powerful, very hard to catch serial killer."
