Mule
Proper noun form
A mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse—a hybrid known for strength, endurance, and stubbornness.
Because mules are almost always sterile, the word extends to other hybrids or things that serve as intermediaries.
A drug mule smuggles contraband by carrying it on their person or in their body.
A mule is also a backless slipper or shoe.
Stubborn as a mule describes someone who won't budge from their position.
