You can send mages into the Void Gate to summon random beings from the Void. There is a good variety of things that can be summoned, some of which are very useful and powerful, but sometimes the summoned creatures attack and kill the mage who summoned them. Also, there is a chance that the mage's mind will be fried. If that happens, he can't cast spells, so he becomes of little use except for cannon fodder. I recommend sending Star Children into the Void Gate, because if their minds are fried, you can still use them as scouts.

Hybrids are the result of the mating of a human female with a Deep One. You normally do not have access to Hybrid Soldiers or Hybrid Lords unless you conquer a province that borders the ocean, and then recuit from that province. These are pre-set units; you don't get to crossbreed them yourself.

R'lyeh has no holy units...or mounted units.

The Ancient Kraken has 230 hit points and is cold and poison resistant, but does not regenerate. It is somewhat limited, since it cannot leave the sea.

Hope this answers your questions!

I would not send star children into the gate as they would be mind fried rather quickly. Only the Starspawn priests are somewhat protected from the mind fry. Only they can harness the sacred powers of the void. The stargazer hero is even more resistant to this effect, but not immune.

All things from the void are sacred, but as you do not get too many of these things you cannot build armies by void summoning alone.

When a summoning is successful your starspawn will get increased skills in summoning. The more skilled the starspawn the more powerful monster he gets.

Hybrids appear spontaneously in costal castles. You can also recruit them in costal castles.

Ancient Kraken heals afflictions.
