Bizarre Alien Reproduction	comment	Okay, you've got your Humanoid Aliens. But no matter what you do, they don't seem alien-y enough. So you add some Bizarre Alien Biology. What's the easiest way to do this? Sex! Guaranteed to appeal to somebody, and if done right, it can look like something other than just being a pervert or possibly Fanservice. It should be added that no matter how deviant it seems to us, good sex is sometimes interspecies. Sometimes related to G-Rated Sex. May fall into Artistic License â€“ Biology, if the reproductive method fails to generate enough offspring to maintain a population. Note for examples to not include anything related to cultural practices; we're limited to the biology of reproduction here. Put examples belonging to subtropes on their own pages, please. Subtropes: Bizarre Alien Sexes Chest Burster Exotic Equipment Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong Hot Skitty-on-Wailord Action Mister Seahorse Non-Mammal Mammaries Compare Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism. If this trope is averted even when it shouldn't be, we're dealing with a Male-to-Female Universal Adaptor.

Instead, they release worm-like spawn that seek each other out, fuse into an embryo, and cover themselves in a tough cocoon. The cocoon then shoots out whip-like cords that attach themselves to trees and hoist it into the air, raising it beyond the reach of predators on the ground or in the tree branches and allowing the embryo to gestate in safety.

Unfortunately for the raging misogynists their natural ability to change sex later in life means that cloning a man might result in a girl.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_1852cbb9	comment	Starbound: The Glitch is a race of robots made to simulate evolution. Part of their programming is an inability to realize that they aren't ortganic beings (though now and then a Glitch manages to break past the blocks), so they have a lot of internal blinds, including when reproduction is concerned. When a Glitch couple decide it's time to start a family, they retreat to their bedroom. They then enter a trance-like state and proceed to a secret workshop none of them are consciously aware of, where they assemble their new offspring. Upon completion, they leave the workshop and return home, after which they snap out of the trance. They will have no memory of the event, but are convinced that it was "very pleasant". The Floran are a race of plants and are technically genderless beyond cosmetic details. While nothing canonical is clarified about their reproduction, their respawning animation shows a seed sprouting into a pod that opens to release a reborn Floran. Early beta versions also had "Floran pods" planted in fields. Presumably, the Floran reproduce by pollination leading to seeds that are planted and produce offspring without internal gestation.

However, their scientific techniques are quite otherworldly: the biological sex of the host does not matter, the pregnancy bears all the typical aspects of a human pregnancy (sensitivity in the chest, strange cravings, morning sickness) except that it is inhumanly fast, lasting for a few days/weeks; and as for the delivery... Well, as the alien doctors say, "life finds its way"... (though it should be noted that not all human hosts die upon delivering their babies — some are able to fall pregnant several times without any threat to their life)

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_1e9c0623	comment	RuneQuest: Green, brown and yellow elves mate like humans (or, at least, human scholars are reasonably sure they do). After this, however, the female elf gives birth to a coconut-sized seed, which is then planted and grows into a plant that bears a single fleshy fruit. After two years of maturation, the fruit is split open to reveal an elf child equivalent to a 4- to 6-year-old human infant. The Slorifings — also called red elves and goblins — are all male, and reproduce by worshipping a type of love spirits. After a successful worship session, the supplicant buries himself and goes into eternal sleep. Afterwards, a spore-bearing plant such as a fern sprouts over his grave and produces a crop of miniature Slorifings, which are called imps and treated as adults from birth. Dwarves aren't born as such; in fact, they find sexual reproduction repulsive. Instead, they're essentially manufactured. The process requires a male-female pair to spend a few weeks using their respective "mortar" and "pestle" to create the blank template of a dwarf (the dwarves find this process horrific, and usually suppress their memories of the event). This is then placed in a caste-specific container to brew for a number of years, before being decanted as a young dwarf ready for labor.

His comments imply the ring becomes more complete as the pregnancy progresses. In a sense, this is Bizarre in how normal the reproduction was. The Visitors are reptiles from another world posing as humanoids (presumably mammalian). Somehow Robin was impregnated through what appeared to be intercourse, just like it would be between humans.

The normal V reproduction involves a queen (like Anna) mating with a male, after which she eats him for nutrients. She then lays hundreds, if not thousands, of fertilized eggs with one or two being "queen" eggs. While initially thought impossible, it's discovered that Half-Human Hybrids are indeed a possibility but may be more V than human. Only one was shown onscreen, the product of a V father and human mother. However, the final episode shows a queen V mating with a human and taking a bite out of him, implying she has been impregnated.

Whether or not this is part of reproduction is unsaid, but their appreciation of Romeo and Juliet, translated to their sensibilities, certainly suggests it's analogous to love or marriage. Multiple humans inhabiting Corviki 'envelopes' Chose To Stay With The Aliens in Dramatic Mission. In Honeymoon, Helva and Niall visit in envelopes and find that the two who were in love have combined - and Niall, frustrated with how as their usul selves they Can't Have Sex, Ever, insists on trying to combine with Helva. The failsafe pulls them back at a crucial moment so that they're only partially combined - enough that Helva can taste through Niall's mouth.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_2d2dc041	comment	Serina: All life on Serina is descended from Earth organisms, but that doesn't stop one clade of birds from evolving this. One early clade, the vivas, give birth to live young by retaining their eggs inside the mother's body until hatching. The changelings, or metamorphs, reproduce more like a fly than a bird: the mother lays tiny delicate eggs in a carcass or larder of meat and abandons them. These hatch into near-embryonic young with only a head and forelimbs developed at all, like newborn marsupials. The "larvae" eat and grow continuously until they secrete a mucous cocoon, from which a wholly normal-looking tropical bird emerges. Later forms have more specialized larvae, some which are skin-breathing and aquatic, while others are Sand Worm-like predators. The changelings' descendants, the ornimorphs. Instead of forming a cocoon, a baby ornimorph gradually grows from a tadpole-like aquatic larva through amphibian- and reptile-like juvenile stages, before becoming arboreal, growing feathers, becoming first a glider and then a true flyer and eventually coming to resemble a mostly-typical bird. The placental birds are another group of changelings that pass their early larval stages inside the mother, attaching to the wall of the uterus and continuing much of their development within, until the young born live in a much more developed and independent state, often precocial at birth. Bloons and birdwhales are fully marine birds descended from pelican-like seabirds that have adapted to carry their eggs in their throat pouch. After millions of years of evolution this pouch has fully separated from the digestive system and become highly vascularised in order to provide heat and oxygen for the egg, effectivly becoming a pseudo uterus. The bumblets evolve the ability to give live birth by retaining their egg internally and oxygenating it by... flatulence.

In maturity they mostly just look like humans. They do have eggs under their scalps, though, and bleed from their eyes and scalp during their periods, so reproduction is still unusual. Worms are another alien species with their own complicated reproductive methods, varying by subspecies of mandragora or hydragora.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_31a48eed	comment	The Outer Limits (1995): In "The Voyage Home", the alien that invades the Mars III spacecraft reproduces by releasing a spore into an organism's body which then leaves the body and replicates it. The process is fatal to the organism in question. The alien's plan was to proliferate its species by converting humanity en masse once the spacecraft returned to Earth. In "Paradise", a dying alien woman who was the Last of Her Kind arrived on Earth in 1946 and met four young women. With their consent, she implanted an egg in each of their bodies so that her species would have a chance to survive. The eggs took 50 years to mature. The alien left a special light which, 50 years later, made the four women young again but only long enough to conceive. Three of them had sex with strangers in the attempt. Not only were they unable to conceive but they rapidly aged to death. Their bodies decomposed just as quickly. On the other hand, Helen is successful in conceiving a baby with Gerry, her late husband Charles' brother, as she had always been in love with him and vice versa. Within about an hour, Helen is heavily pregnant and about to give birth. The resulting child appears to be a human girl, which Helen's daughter Dr. Christina Markham and her husband Grady intend to raise as their own since they can't have children. Helen returns to her true age but her Alzheimer's has been cured as a gift from the alien. In "Rule of Law", the Medusans lay eggs. During the hatching process, the hatchlings absorb energy from tritium bricks. They cannot survive the hatching process without this energy.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_35ada324	comment	Alien: The Xenomorph life cycle goes roughly as follows: Queen lays eggs. Egg waits for host (human, predator, dog, whatever) to come by. Egg hatches, facehugger crawls out, jumps on host's face. Facehugger hangs on to host's face for day or two, host unconscious, facehugger keeps Host alive but tightens tail around neck if attempt to remove facehugger is made. Facehugger lets go and promptly dies. Host acts normal for another day or two (may/may not be aware of pregnancy). Chestburster bursts out of chest, with some of host's DNA (eg; Chestburster from dog/ox becomes quadripedal drone instead of bipedal drone). Chestburster quickly grows up into either Drone or Queen. If Queen, cycle starts again.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_3f3abe9	comment	The Glorzo of Rick and Morty are just the first two stages of the xenomorph cycle repeated ad infinitum. An egg hatches into a facehugger, the facehugger latches onto a host, it controls the host for a brief period of time, then the host lays an egg (dying in the process). Obviously, this is unsustainable, since there is no way to replenish the population after unplanned deaths (two die in an accident on-screen, kickstarting the plot), so, predictably, given the show, the entire species is almost extinct by the end of their debut episode.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_3fafb377	comment	The French/Czech animated film Fantastic Planet features the Draags. When the Draags wish to reproduce, they go into a meditative trance, which causes a spherical forcefield bubble to form around a small representation of themselves which then float up into the sky toward their planet's moon. Upon reaching the moon, they land on gigantic, headless Greco-Roman statues, which proceed to dance the waltz (no, really, that's all they do). In all fairness, that could have just been foreplay — the Oms (humans) did sort of start destroying the statues mid-dance. Also, despite the Draags exhibiting sexual dimorphism (there are Draags with breasts and ones without), all Draags form pink bubbles and land on the female statues. The male statues have blue bubbles which are stated as coming from some other species "from other galaxies". It's implied in one of the history lessons that there have been Draags for longer than there has been meditation, so the entire thing may really just be literally foreplay with aliens before they actually reproduce amongst themselves.

When the eggs hatch the mosquitos leave the body through the mouth, nostrils and eye sockets. This invariably kills the victim. SCP-150 ("The Prosthetic Parasite") burrows into a human body and changes the nearest limb (arm or leg) into SCP-150 tissue covered with a chitinous exoskeleton. The victim is mind-controlled into removing the limb, which then hatches out more SCP-150 larvae. SCP-538 ("Shadow Spiders") reproduce by biting a victim. After about an hour the victim suffers a horrible death and their shadow breaks up into pieces. Each shadow piece becomes a new shadow spider. SCP-631 ("Nyctophobic Nocturnal Predator") eats the internal organs of a sleeping human victim and lays its eggs in the body. When the eggs hatch an hour later the babies eat the body. SCP-632 ("Intrusive Arachnid Thoughts") are small spiders that reproduce by exposing humans to sensory triggers, including seeing the patterns on their abdomen, feeling them crawl on the skin, or via chemicals emitted from adults. This causes baby spiders to grow inside of the victim's brain and cause a worsening headache. The victim's attempts to stop the headache via eventual trauma splits the head open to release the adult SCP-632. SCP-695 ("Eels"): Juvenile SCP-695 perform an Orifice Invasion on a male human, grow to adult size and lay eggs. They then force the host to rape a female human and infect her with the eggs. The eggs will grow into juveniles, which will leave the female's body through either an Orifice Evacuation or performing a Chest Burster out of her abdomen. SCP-1092 ("A Species of Fish") reproduces by having one of its eggs enter the body of a large mammal through a cut and grow to adult size (up to 2.1 centimeters) inside the mammal's blood vessels. SCP-1294 ("The Laughing Fox") is a fungus that reproduces by mating with a female fox. Its offspring grows inside the fox and eventually escapes as a Chest Burster. SCP-2401 ("Mary Had a Little Lamb") are unusual honeybees that can infest and control a human body, but males all die quickly and most of the females commit suicide. When the host body is female it can have sex with a human male and become impregnated. The babies will be adapted to be better hosts.

The "twinning" process begins with increasingly severe dizzy spells, after which the Czill usually finds a good spot to root in and wait the process out. Over a period of ten days or so, they slowly grow a second body from their back. Eventually, the brain begins to duplicate, leading to increasingly confused and doubled thoughts until, at the end, the Czill functionally cannot think coherently anymore. Finally, the twins separate as entirely identical individuals, who then usually go on to different paths in life in order to develop fully distinct minds.

It's her job to do the thinking for the entire tribe and, although she's their ruler, she's also, in a way, a prisoner. Female births are very rare and girls are expected, upon reaching adulthood, to either find a tribe whose Kelda has recently died or collect a few men from nearby tribes to form a new tribe. In either case, she takes some of her brothers with her to keep her company until she gets to know her new people. Incidentally, Terry Pratchett was quite interested in bees and their swarming behaviours.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_49e5d731	comment	Wayfarers, by Becky Chambers, has many alien sapient species. For most, their biology is recognisable as similar to Earth species. The Aeluon have four sexes: male, female, shon (who switch between male and female) and those who are neither. Aeluon who are female, or shon during a female phase, may "Shimmer" once or twice in their lives. Their silver scales begin to glitter with a sheen of swimming colours, an outward signal that their body has produced an egg. During this period of fertility, they must have the egg fertilised by a male Aeluon, or a shon in male form. After several weeks, the mother lays a hard-shelled egg, which must be cared for in an incubation pool until it hatches. Some Artistic Licence â€“ Biology may be involved, as this doesn't begin to approach replacement-level fertility — especially as some females and shon may never experience Shimmer. Among the Quelin, a hard-shelled species of sapient with 22 pairs of legs, males incubate the eggs in "keratin pockets" which line each side of their abdomen. The mammalian Laru have a pouch, where the young live for several years after birth.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Homestuck: Troll reproduction is extremely strange, although the comic is often light on the particulars. As said in the comic, "Trolls sure are weird!" They reproduce by "mixing genetic material"note implied to be via sex, but the open audience of the comic limits a direct answer, letting the audience's imagination run wild with their lover and their archenemy in separate pails, and then give the material to a drone. Gender is irrelevant to reproduction. All of the combined material is then basically mixed together, and a mother grub takes the best material and lays eggs for the whole species. Alternian society expects all capable trolls to donate material in this way; if a troll doesn't have a mate for both of these, the drones kill them for not being able to fill both buckets. The horror of this comes from the fact that trolls arrive at sexual maturity around the same time as humans do and are at the same level of emotional and mental security. These are kids put to work sexing it up the second they are capable of "producing genetic material", and they have no idea what the hell is going on. Trolls also have a different idea of romance than humans do, with four types to humans' one type — one is normal romance, one is based on hate, and the other two types of romance are non-sexual and instead based on mutual emotional support. Infant trolls are birthed as caterpillar-like "wrigglers", which cocoon themselves in the birthing caverns and mature into humanoid children. The baby trolls are then raised by one of dozens or hundreds of different types of "lusi" (singular "lusus"), which are different animal species that presumably reproduce normally. They have a symbiotic relationship with trolls, where they adopt and raise troll children, as trolls never know their parents. This has the side-effect of making pails (and pictures thereof) Not Safe for Work among trolls, as seen here note note that Rose can be seen on the viewscreen with a bucket on her head.. Universes themselves have a bizarre means of reproduction, which involves Stable Time Loops, a video game which manipulates reality and draws the players into the game, a war between anthropomorphic chess pieces which one side is always destined to lose, and sped-up frog breeding. The end result of this process is the creation of a cosmic frog that contains an entire universe in its body, hosting civilizations that will one day play the game again and produce another universe frog. Cherubs are even weirder than trolls. They can only mate with rivals, by a ritual where they typically go onto a black hole and turn into enormous, near-indestructable snakes that can only be harmed by one another. Whoever loses the battle is impregnated with the young, and the Character Alignment of each child depends on which parent carries the young. Leprechauns are possibly weirder than cherubs, although we've been spared the details. Their bizarre alien romance involves combinations of nine emotions, one of which equates to human love or troll matespritship, and most of which involve pranks and riddles. Unlike the four "quadrants" of troll romance, any of these relationships can lead to reproduction, following a "mating jig". Oh, and they're a One-Gender Race.

They typically reproduce by splitting off a part of themselves that contains their personality, and merging it with that of another. On top of that, due to the "sentient data-storage" bit, it's also possible to reproduce with non-amorphs through a period of observation — a process Commander Kevyn compared to marriage. On top of that, two amorphs battling it out usually results in, rather than one or both parties dying, a single amorph with merged personality traits of both combatants. The Qlavo conceive normally with males and females, but hand off responsibilities of development to a third gender, muftales. This goes on, as a whole rather more than we see. Even humans are not exempt; most pregnancies are handled in cheap artificial wombs, and births are performed on the kitchen counter.

In fact, actual sex is one of the few things that cannot create a new demon, and they tend to find sexual reproduction to be just as bizarre as humans find the demons' own methods of procreation. Gilmyne reproduce through a particular dance where four such demons circle closer and closer until they merge. A moment later, five demons part and go their separate ways. A chrysogona's bite causes its target to turn into wood like that which makes up the demon itself. Mortals eventually die from this, after which a new chrysogona bursts from their shell. Erymanthoi reproduce through pain. When an erymanthus is seared with vitriol and its skin is pierced with iron spikes at very specific points, it emits a howl of agony that transforms into a new blood-ape.

Originally, they were presented in a fairly straightforward Planet of Hats way — the Anjiri were matriarchal, with the females running the planet and the males being basically incompetent Space Pirates; the Nykkus were initially presented as a sort of Henchmen Race to the Anjiri. It later turned out that the Nykkus and Anjiri are actually one species with two forms; females of either "species" in fact lay eggs for both, apparently regardless of whether their mates are Nykkus or Anjiri. All the Nykkus shown in the original appearance were "Coldborn" (neuter and not very bright); the male and female Nykkus shown later have little interest in working for the Anjiri, although the females are a lot better disposed towards them. Oh, and incubation temperature also determines, or at least strongly influences, both intelligence and physical strength (with females being the strongest/smartest for each race).

To reproduce, a right and left must merge together into a composite dione known as a "draft", which has most of the memories of its constituents but its own unique personality. After several months, a draft splits back into its component right and left, but if it so chooses it can also leave behind an infant dione which will grow up to have a similar personality to the draft that produced it. Notably, this has made it uniquely easy for diones to remove any dissent from their culture (as per Superiority values): If the draft's family doesn't approve of the personality of the draft, they simply have the draft separate without producing an offspring, then recombine and see if they get someone they like better this time.

This fifth person then mutates into a koloss. The really weird part is that koloss swords can be used to control their population. If they have fewer swords than koloss, they will fight each other over the swords until their population has shrunk enough. If there are more swords than koloss, they will create more koloss until every koloss has a sword. By Wax and Wayne, Harmony has changed the koloss so that they reproduce sexually. However, the child of two koloss is merely a "koloss-blooded," an otherwise ordinary human who is just tougher and stronger.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_6a8aff51	comment	The Stormlight Archive: Little is known about the reproductive process of the Rosharan chasmfiend, but one stage seems to involve the creature climbing up onto a plateau, spinning a vaguely insect-like cocoon out of what is basically cement, and waiting for one of the storms that come along every few days. Presumably, they need the Mana the storms carry to fuel the transformation to the next stage of their cycle. In the second book, Shallan points out that since the Alethi have been slaughtering pupating chasmfiends on a massive scale for the past six years, they're dealing huge damage to the ecology of the region, and it's not sustainable.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons includes multiple examples, mostly among the Aberration creature type. Illithids reproduce asexually and deposit eggs in the pools of their colony's elder brain (which is itself formed from the discarded brains of dead illithids). These eggs hatch into four-tailed tadpoles that cannibalize each other for several years while also avoiding the predations of the Elder Brain, which feeds on their psionic energy. Tadpoles that survive to maturity are then inserted into the nostrils or ears of captive humanoids to devour and replace the nervous system, transforming their host into an adult illithid in a process known as ceremorphosis. Occasionally, one of these tadpoles matures into a larger, stronger illithid called an ulitharid. This individual eventually leaves the colony alongside an entourage of lesser illithids to found a new one; once the new colony is established, the ulitharid removes its brain, which is planted into its body and grows into a new elder brain to repeat the cycle. If an illithid tadpole doesn't find a host, usually if its colony is wiped out and the elder brain slain, it will venture onto land and start hunting to survive. Should it feed on a sentient creature, consuming the brain triggers the same growth spurt as ceremorphosis, but without a body to inhabit, the tadpole grows into a monster called a neothelid, a fully-sentient, dragon-sized, slime-caked worm with a mass of tentacles for a face, psychic powers, and the ability to spray acid. Illithids prefer not to talk about them, since neothelids are just as willing to prey on them as anything else. Beholders also reproduce asexually. After spontaneously self-impregnating, they gorge themselves until their womb becomes too large and pinches their esophagus shut. When the children come to term, the parent vomits up its entire uterus (which does not regenerate), examines the swarm of tiny beholders for those that most resemble their parent, and chase those off while consuming the rest for looking wrong. 5th Edition's Volo's Guide to Monsters replaces this with a more bizarre method: sometimes, a beholder may create another beholder by dreaming — a beholder that dreams of existing in multiple places or of looking into a mirror will wake up to discover that a duplicate of itself has come into being. Other dreams instead give rise to the various species of beholderkin — for instance, beholders who dream of blood or wounds may create the vampiric death kisses, while one obsessing over a draconic rival may dream an eye drake into being. In Fifth Edition, Hags propagate by snatching and devouring human infants. After stealing a baby from its cradle or its mother's womb, the hag consumes the child. A week later, the hag gives birth to a daughter who looks human until her thirteenth birthday, whereupon the child transforms into the spitting image of her hag mother. In most editions dragons are assumed to reproduce in the usual manner vertebrates do. Fifth Edition's Fizban's Treasury of Dragons admits that this may likely be the case on at least some worlds, but posits some additional means by which dragons make little dragons: Parthenogenesis — the least unusual of the lot, a dragon simply laying a clutch of eggs without needing to mate. This may happen spontaneously or after the dragon consumes a prodigious quantity of treasure. Five adult or older dragons of different breeds come together and sacrifice a bit of their life energy to create a clutch of five eggs. The breeds of the resulting eggs will match the makeup of the conclave that formed them. When dragons reach advanced age, they can enter a deep trance, die, and reform as an egg. Dragons physically craft their eggs through painstaking labor, and magically breathe life into them when done. Enlightened humanoids become dragon eggs after death or by performing a specific magic ritual. Dragon eggs form from the bodies of dead dragons, which can take the form of them growing from their parent's rotting carcass like fungus, being left behind after the dragon's body is consumed by fire, or being mined out of a dragon that turned into solid stone or metal after death. Dragon eggs grow like fruit from a tree somewhere in a distant corner of the world. Dragons in a family mood must track this tree down and talk its warden into giving them an egg. Dragon eggs arise naturally, with metallic dragon eggs forming within veins of metal, gem dragon eggs forming within deposits of precious minerals, and chromatic dragon eggs forming in extreme environments such as the hearts of volcanoes, arctic wastes, primeval forests and the like. They may hatch on their own, or when dug up by someone else. Dragons cannot reproduce. All dragons are the fruit of direct intervention by the gods Bahamut or Tiamat, who are the only beings who can create new dragon eggs. Magerippers reproduce by budding off young from their backs when especially well-fed on magic. Mystara: The wallara chameleon-men are a One-Gender Race species of Lizard Folk who, being only male, rely on a magic-based form of reproduction where they shed their skin once per year and then place it inside a "tookoo", a sacred shrine of their race. These carefully bundled skins have a chance of being transformed into new baby wallaras, which are then raised by the rest of the clan.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_6c1234ed	comment	Dwarf Fortress: It has been suggested that many of the species reproduce via spores rather than in the conventional fashion, given the way that you can chain up members of different sexes at opposite ends of the fortress and still get offspring. A more deliberate design choice can be seen in the form of night trolls, single gender monsters who kidnap members of the opposite sex, transforms them into "spouses", and proceed to reproduce in the normal way. The children are always the same sex as the night troll parent, and the spouse is often slain or simply abandoned (which inevitably means death at the hands of their former species). Notably, night trolls are happy to prey on elves, dwarves or humans, but goblins just don't do it for them.

Alternatively, female Cybertronians (called Makers), which are very rare, can interface with a male Cybertronian, splitting off a part of each partner's Spark and gestating it until it becomes a new complete Spark, at which point it's transferred into a new body built by the Maker.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_7832b74c	comment	Steven Universe: Gems are manufactured from non-living minerals using special machinery, with the new gems literally popping out of a hole in the ground. The Classroom Gems short "How Are Gems Made?" elaborates on this procedure: the Gems pop out fully grown, but the procedure also drains life from the soil and nearby plants and leaves the ground barren and withered. Viewed from the opposite direction, Rose Quartz found humans had bizarre reproduction methods, finding the idea of growing up so weird that she thought adult and child humans were different species. While the conception of the eponymous Half-Human Hybrid probably had some conventionally human elements, there were some odder steps to get around his gem mother being from an artificial species that was never designed to sexually reproduce. She had to use shapeshifting to grow a womb, because she naturally has No Biological Sex, and find some way to pass on genetic information when she apparently had no DNA. Most importantly, since her Heart Drive is her real body, she had to pass it on to Steven, giving up the original form of her mind and body to become part of him. The Watermelon Stevens reproduce exactly as one would expect... for watermelons. The young are grown in watermelon patches just outside the village, and are delivered to the adopting parents' door.

Additionally, semen can be absorbed anywhere on the succubus body.

Succubi using "futa" spells on women of any other species doesnâ€™t work, however. So, a bit like a sexier version of how the asari do it.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_79a1465e	comment	The Pequeninos of Speaker for the Dead, the sequel to Ender's Game. To reproduce, the male has to be ritually vivisected to turn into a tree. Infant females are brought to the Fathertree and crawl around on its bark, absorbing sperm through its dust. Also: any female that survives to adulthood is completely sterile; the young eat their way out of the infant mother's body. Both male and female young are nursed in the Mothertree, which is what happens when a sterile adult female turns into a tree, which exudes a highly nutritious sap the young feed on until they're large enough to walk around on the ground. In fact, all native life on the planet is like this (for example, there are no male herd animals—the grass they graze on fertilizes the females). They were changed by a virus, brought to their planet by other alien species. All species who didn't develop bizarre reproductive cycles died.

Any time that two Hivers meet, they interlace their rearmost arms and exchange genetic material (humans have dubbed this "shaking hands"). Both Hivers then produce a larva, which they shed from their bodies some time later and chase out into the wilderness (Hiver cities are always surrounded by predator-filled wilderness for exactly this purpose). Only a tiny fraction of the Hiver larvae survive, which is the point — Hivers are born nonsapient, but can develop sapience if they are repeatedly forced to confront danger and solve problems as larvae. Those that survive long enough to develop sapience make their way back to the nearest Hiver city, where they are taken in and raised collectively by the Hivers therein.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek has plenty of examples, having been on TV for so long: The Vulcans have "Pon farr", a mating season every seven years, where they must mate or die. Alternatively they can beat another competitor to their desired mate to death, which is just plain weird. Xyrillian females can impregnate human males without the human noticing. The one time this happened in the show she hadn't been aware this was possible. They technically reproduce asexually; the "male" Xyrillians don't contribute any DNA to the process, they just carry the female's child. The Q can choose to have sex by touching fingertips, but being nigh-omnipotent that's not saying a whole lot we don't already know from the "omnipotent" label. The Varro mate for life, and to ensure this they intermix their body chemistry, causing symptoms of physical withdrawal if a mate leaves. All we know about Klingon sex is that it's not uncommon for both partners to break bones. Ow. A broken collarbone on the wedding night is a sign of good luck. Of course, given how Klingons tend to act, that might simply be a cultural tendency towards very rough sex. 90% of Taresians are born female. They claim to reproduce by implanting embryos in the wombs of females of other species, but the child will be fully Taresian. The truth is even weirder: They spread a retrovirus that turns males of other species into pseudo-Taresians, and then he's driven to return to the planet where they'll extract his DNA, fatally. Female Ocampa go through "Elogium", a puberty-like stage where they can successfully conceive a child (in a fleshy sac on their back), but it only happens once. Also leads to a very large bit of Fridge Logic, every Ocampa female can only conceive once, and multiples births seem to be rare to non-existent... so if every female Ocampa can only produce one child in their entire life... how is the species not extinct already? The Fridge Logic factor of Ocampan reproduction goes far further than that: Despite only being able to reproduce once and only living for nine years, the females have constantly engorged breasts. The reason why humans have breasts and dogs don't is because we can reproduce whenever we feel like it — there is no biological reason why they should grow breasts a good four years before they can conceive. Secondly, they reproduce through a bizarre system of massaging feet and gluing their hands together for an entire week using a thick, sticky mucus — in the wild no creature could do this without being eaten by predators. This would logically mean both the males and females have nothing between their legs and are around about the same size — if this was real life and the Ocampans were not being played by human actors and actresses, the only way to determine a male from a female would be those anomalous breasts. The "one mating = extinction" dilemma, at least, can be resolved if the Ocampa are a sperm-sequestering species, such that one mating provides the male genetic contribution for multiple pregnancies over the female's lifetime. If said subsequent pregnancies happen in quick succession, the constantly-engorged breasts would make sense too: they don't have time to shrink between babies. However the only example we have of an Ocampan family is the alternate future from one episode where Kes had one daughter in her lifetime and the daughter also had only one child. The J'naii are supposed to be genderless (although they all look very similar to female humans). However, nothing about J'naii reproduction makes any sense, as the script muddles together three totally different kinds of genderlessness. The asexual cast to their society would make sense if they reproduced by cloning, but they do reproduce sexually, in which case being a One-Gender Race should make their interactions more sexual, not less. The persecution of those who prefer a gender would make sense for a race of hermaphrodites (where everyone is both sexes simultaneously) but Soren describes their sex act as a precisely symmetrical affair (i.e. the J'naii are all one single sexâ€”they're isogametes.) An isogamete preferring one sex over another makes about as much sense as a Cyclops preferring one eye over another. It makes more sense after it's revealed that they weren't always this way, and slowly evolved to change. As such, having a vestige of their old sexual habits and retaining these preferences, in however small, tangential a way, does make a lot of sense. Denobulans have a mating season, and their breeding drive is regulated by powerful pheromones generated by their females. Males can become violent under these pheromones' influences. Culturally, they practice group marriage, and also remain promiscuous outside such formal relationships. The Kobali resurrect, and genetically alter, the corpses of other species. Andorians, as revealed in the expanded universe, have four separate genders, all of which are needed for reproduction. Deconstructed in that this is revealed to be causing their genetic diversity to break down; by the time period covered in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch, they're a Dying Race with extinction predicted within fifteen generations. And that is being optimistic. There is actually a scientific movement underway looking to retro-engineer them back into being a two-gender race, which is meeting severe opposition from many Andorians, as the four-gender quartet is an integral part of their culture and religion. And then there's Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's often mentioned but never seen Lieutenant Vilix'pran, who on several occasions was said to be "budding" — a process which, according to various bits of related dialogue, can produce from two to twelve hatchlings and requires a pond. During seasons 4 and 5 of DS9, Major Kira was a surrogate mother to the O'Briens' child after Keiko O'Brien suffered a serious injury. During that time, we learn that Bajoran pregnancies last 5 months instead of 9 months like humans, and instead of suffering morning sickness, pregnant Bajoran women have intense sneezing fits.

In addition, royalty and other immortals can't marry — and since Nakajima becomes a queen, that includes her — and so they can't have children unless they were married before they become immortal. While it's established that they DO have sex it's apparently only done for fun, with no connection to the reproductive process at all.

(Occasionally one grub will turn into twins.) The Yeerk parents die in the process. The Skrit Na are even stranger. The "Skrit" look sort of like giant roaches and are fairly stupid. At some point during their lives they spin a cocoon, die, but then out of their dead body a Na (basically a Grey) pops out. It's never explained where new Skrit come from, but the Na certainly have a weird way of coming into this (or some other) world.

Wonder Woman (1987): The Kreel used to be gender benders as a race, capable of changing their physical sex in their later lives, but the church of the Sangtee Empire started working on making women utterly despised and socially unacceptable to the point that they are killed, enslaved or hidden away until they're able to present themselves as male and the race has relied on cloning to reproduce. Unfortunately for the raging misogynists their natural ability to change sex later in life means that cloning a man might result in a girl.

The Argonians are an oviparous (egg-laying) sapient species, with the females also possessing Non-Mammal Mammaries. According to some (potentially dubious) sources, the Argonians are also sequential hermaphrodites, meaning they can switch genders. The time spent as either male or female is called a "life-phase". The Sload "slug men" are another very alien race native to the Thras archipelago to the southwest of Tamriel. Born into broods of aquatic, amorphous grubs whose parents "care little" for them (and even actively kill them in order to produce the alchemical ingredient "Sload Soap"), those who survive grow into "squishy" adolescents likened to octopi. Further, adult Sload are believed to be hermaphrodites who absorb their sexual organs by the time they are capable of surviving on land.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_9f89a5f0	comment	While it's never shown how sex among PokÃ©mon works, some aspects of their reproduction are defintely weird: Every species is part of one or two egg-groups and could mate with any other pokÃ©mon of the same egg group as long as it's of the opposite gender, even if there is vast size differences between the two. The offspring will always be of the female's species, but with some of the male's moves. Ditto is a genderless PokÃ©mon that can mate with any other fertile PokÃ©mon regardless of gender. The offspring is never Ditto, but always the other PokÃ©mon's species. The only exception is Manaphy, which will always produce an Egg containing a Phione (which cannot evolve into Manaphy). Some species are male-only or female-only. The male-only species can only reproduce other members of his species with the help of Ditto. How these PokÃ©mon propagate without Ditto's help is unexplained. The only exceptions being the Nidoran-line and Volbeat/Illumise, where male and female are regarded as different species, but the female can produce offspring of the male species, even if her male is of a different species. Some species are genderless and only able to mate with Ditto. Much like Male-only species, how they do it without Ditto isn't explained. Some species cannot reproduce in-game, but some of them are seen to have eggs or babies in other media. An event in PokÃ©mon Sun and Moon allows you to get a Cosmog by bringing a Solgaleo or Lunala to a different "version" of Alola and allowing them to meet with the Lunala/Solgaleo of that world. The Cosmog instantly appears after the "meeting" but the player doesn't get to see the exact details of what happens. And the daycare-owner still doesn't know where the eggs come from. Some dialogue with NPCs even suggest that PokÃ©mon eggs aren't even eggs in the biological sense and are more like "cradles"... No explanation is given as to what this is supposed to mean. Nihilego, an Ultra Beast, does not breed like regular Pokemon, but Concept art◊ shows that it breeds by spawning polyps that grow into larvae and then adults. Basically, it reproduces like a real jellyfish. Other Ultra Beasts may have other methods of propagating that are different from the standard "male-and-female produce an egg in a daycare", such as Celesteela sprouting from the ground in its home world.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_a183d57f	comment	Futurama Amphibiosans (Kif's species) become receptive to DNA transfer when they develop a strong emotional bond with someone, their smizmar. DNA is then transferred through touch, and presumably any species' DNA is compatible. While in the episode in question the biological parentage gets mixed up, the smizmar is considered the "true" parent. Dr. Zoidberg's species lay eggs in the ocean and then die off en masse. He's only lived so long because no female seeking a mate will even look at him. This doesn't prevent Zoidberg from having a Jewish Mother-equivalent relative, or introducing himself as "Norm and Sam and Sadie's boy." This is kind of Fridge Brilliance; since only the most disgusting and pathetic members of his race survive to raise the young, who do you think's going to be teaching them their standards? Futurama plays with this trope a bit by having aliens be unaware of human reproduction. Human noses are harvested as an aphrodisiac under the incorrect assumption that the "human horn" is the main reproductive organ. Lrrr is surprised to discover that humans have a "lower horn" hidden in their pants. Even the show's Mechanical Lifeforms have a bit of this going on. The main difference between the "ill-defined robot sexes" is that the male has an antenna which transmits information used to create a baby robot, while the female has an internal drive that receives the transmission. So far, so analogous, but everything about this process is treated as indistinguishable from the process it obviously resembles, which means that Bender having his antenna on the top of his head is exactly what it sounds like. (Females have antennae too, but without anatomical associations.)

The only exceptions to these are turtles and frogs, where one of the pair will head to a location to lay eggs that hatch into young after time passes, which makes turtle and frog reproduction bizarre compared to how all other mobs breed.

This fifth person then mutates into a koloss. The really weird part is that koloss swords can be used to control their population. If they have fewer swords than koloss, they will fight each other over the swords until their population has shrunk enough. If there are more swords than koloss, they will create more koloss until every koloss has a sword. By Wax and Wayne, Harmony has changed the koloss so that they reproduce sexually. However, the child of two koloss is merely a "koloss-blooded," an otherwise ordinary human who is just tougher and stronger. When they come of age, they have the option to be transformed into a full koloss or leave the clan. Likewise, outsiders have the option of entering the clan and being transformed into full koloss. The clan doesn't care where someone came from once they are transformed. The kandra have two stages of life: The non-sentient mistwraiths (which presumably reproduce sexually), and the sentient kandra. Kandra can only be created by giving a mistwraith special "blessings," which are hemalurgic spikes made by killing a human. The kandra have neither the ability nor the desire to make the blessings themselves, leaving them completely at the mercy of their creator.

If they fail to do so, they die of hormonal imbalance, while if they do, they shift back to male and the cycle restarts.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_e0afa87e	comment	Seaman has the titular human-headed fish creatures, whose life cycles and reproductive habits are, to say the least, bizarre... Seamen start out as Mushroomers, a larval form that more closely resembles floating eyeballs with tiny tails for locomotion. The only way for Mushroomers to survive after hatching is to be ingested by a host creature — in this game's case, a nautilus — which they feed on from the inside out before bursting out of the host's body, fully formed in their next form... The Gillman more closely resembles the creatures' iconic form, albeit small and childlike in behavior and speech at first. Gillmen are initially incapable of intelligent speech, but as the player talks to it, its vocabulary will expand until it is able to carry conversations. Gillmen will cannibalize one another by draining blood from their broodmates via their cranial tendril until only two remain, with one becoming the "male" upon being named, developing a golden coloration to their scales. In time, the two remaining Gillmen grow into Podfish, evolving primative legs while retaining their Gillman appearances. Eventually, the Podfish mate via the "male" mounting the other Podfish and connecting cranial tendrils, after which the "male" Podfish dies. After converting the aquarium into a terrarium, the remaining Podfish will use its legs to crawl onto solid ground, lay its eggs, and die. These eggs hatch into Tadmen, which resemble juvenile Gillmen, albeit appearing more like mature tadpoles. Like Gillmen, Tadmen will cannibalize one another until only two remain. The remaining Tadmen eventually grow into Frogmen, resembling frogs with human faces. As a lifeform capable of living both in water and on land, Frogmen become fully independent and capable of surviving on their own. In the Japan-exclusive PS2 remake, there is a subsequent form of Seaman called the Lizardman, which is born from two Frogmen mating and laying a single egg that hatches into a Lizardman. There is an additional form after Lizardman in the Japan-exclusive sequel called the Birdman, which resembles a seagull with a human face, but how a Seaman reaches this form is unknown.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends: Khomites can only reproduce by cloning. They also only eat dietary supplements. Selonians have one fertile female and a handful of males per 1,000 births. They're subterranean mammals; the queen and the males — presumably not from the same colony — basically do little but breed while the rest of the colony runs civilization. A little like naked mole rats. Humans and Selonians can apparently be allergic to each other. Or at least Corran and that one Selonian were. Falleen pheromones work on anything in the galaxy. Dathomiri women can use the Force to arouse men and then you know the rest. Teneniel does this to Luke. While he doesn't like it, he still talks to her afterward. Zeltrons, Pink Skinned Space Babes that they are, have a sexual attraction to Force-sensitives. If there's one thing the Expanded Universe has driven home, it's that a lot of people have been attracted to Luke even before he married Mara — though for his part, he was politely disinterested in most of them. Yevetha reproduce by the females laying eggs called "birth casks". They are external wombs, placing in special birthing chambers and fed fresh blood that gets absorbed through their shells. Any children which stayed in their eggs past birth are called "nestings". In most cases mothers are the ones to provide them blood, however it could come from any Yevetha. Other Yevetha are sacrificed to provide blood, or did so voluntarily (as this was considered a high honor when done for higher-ranking families). Hutts are hermaphrodites capable of conceiving asexually (although they can sexually reproduce too).

This greatly confuses Bulma. She gives Dende a lesson that's very reminiscent of The Talk, only for him to ask what a woman is. Whis alludes to this during Dragon Ball Super when he comments that he thought pregnancy was only carried by the female in humans (which it is), but he could easily be misremembering. This implies that other methods, like Namekians, are not uncommon.

While in kemmer a Gethenian will become either male or female with no control over which sex they take, unless they use certain chemicals. During kemmer their body is essentially in a state of Mate or Die, so incest during this time is generally not frowned upon, certainly during pubescence, unless it becomes a romantic attachment. They might "keep kemmer" (have a long-term partner) or "vow kemmer" (the equivalent of marriage), but the vast majority of Gethenians are polygamous during kemmer, and most openly visit kemmer-houses to mate with whoever else happens to be there.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction / int_f304fffe	comment	The Last Sovereign: The succubi and the orcs. Sex or more specifically semen is required for impregnation as with humans, but succubi can willfully control when they want to get pregnant, obviously useful for a race of nymphomaniacs. Additionally, semen can be absorbed anywhere on the succubus body. Males from any species can conceive with succubi as can orcs (who are otherwise sterile) or succubi utilizing "futa" spells, and regardless of the father, the children are always succubi. Succubi using "futa" spells on women of any other species doesnâ€™t work, however. So, a bit like a sexier version of how the asari do it. Orcs naturally feel a primal urge to fuck women of all races, but despite this all orcs are sterile and can only father children with succubi, which can reproduce with any sapient species. Instead, as orcs grow older, gain experience, and have sex, they grow larger turning into ogres. Once an ogre has reached the upper limit of growth it splits into smaller fully formed orcs and the process repeats. If Succubi are similar to Asari, then orcs are more closely a mix of generic hentai orcs and Warhammer 40,000 Orks, combining the former's uncontrollable sexual appetites with the latter's continuous growth and asexual reproduction.

There's also the Pak'ma'ra, for whom the only reproductive information mentioned in-show is that the "hump" on their backs is actually their reproductive area.

Spawn reproduce by dying; when you kill a spawn, multiple smaller, weaker spawn of the same kind will emerge from the corpse within a minute or two. Kill those, and even more spawn that are even smaller will emerge, ad infinitum, until the resultant spawn is too weak to "divide" in this fashion anymore and simply dies upon death. Demons, meanwhile, reproduce through Spawning Pits... which manage to be even less fun than they sound like. Spawning Pits are filled with alchemical acids that dissolve living demons, but catalyse their organs, causing anywhere from one to thirty-six "larvae" to chew their way out of the decaying husk. After about six months, these maggot-like creatures pupate inside cocoons and then emerge as demons of the same kind as their "parent". Making things even more bizarre: demons and spawn are related to each other. The first demons were born when fallen angels had sex with spawn. Oh, and demons are fully capable of producing human/demon crossbreeds through sex, if they take the Noble Mutation that lets them develop a fully functional gender (or are malcubi, who are the only demon subrace to innately have functional genitalia as humans understand them). Such demons are also capable of producing rare "mixed-breed" demons if they mate with each other, although this is very uncommon due to a mixture of paranoia and how difficult it is for demons to carry offspring to term, as it notably increases their daily requirements of nourishment.
