Referring to the trope of the female becoming pregnant and then killing her mate, often in the act of copulation. A sub-trope that is part of various tropes, including the Black Widow, Out with a Bang and possibly Someone to Remember Him By tropes. May be, sometimes, in part or in whole, a metaphor for the fear that Men Are the Expendable Gender, because in many countries they are at a legal and social disadvantage against the mother in matters concerning their children. For obvious reasons (outside of a Mister Seahorse situation), the ones who practice this trope are Always Female. Supertrope of Mantis Mating Meal. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

In Wonder Woman (2006) the "Citizenry" travel about enslaving worlds, slaughtering their populace to use as food and fuel, and raping and killing the men in order to conceive offspring. Diana is horrified, as are the rest of the Amazons—including the Bana who were keeping men as breeding slaves less than a generation ago—who agree to indefinitely imprison the Citizenry leader when the rest say they'll abandon these practices without her. | |

Subverted on Haven. Season one's "Ball and Chain" features a local woman who shapeshifts into a beautiful woman every Friday night, then seeks out men to seduce and impregnate her. The men rapidly age and die over the course of the extremely short gestation, but it's the babies that are killing their fathers, not the Troubled person. | |

V: Visitor queens mate only twice in their lives (once to produce more Queens, and once to produce another caste), and each time devour their mates to provide their eggs with nourishment. This is shown with Anna when she has her second and last mating in season one, and later with her spare Queen daughter's first mating in the series finale. | |

On an episode of The Simpsons, Lisa has a dream that mirrors Where the Wild Things Are. One of the monsters says he is afraid of his friend, a female monster. She replies that he's just afraid of intimacy. He then tells Lisa it's because he knows that the female monster will eat him after they mate. The female monster replies, "Your brother didn't seem to mind!" | |

A variant in Supernatural: The Amazons are superficially human, all-female monsters who have children by human men; the children are born within a day of conception, age to adulthood in three days, and kill their fathers as a Rite of Passage. And that's how Dean — briefly — becomes a father. | |

In Final Fantasy XIV, female kongamato, a species of flying insect as large as a horse, are known to devour their much smaller male suitors after mating with them. The B-Rank mark Gwas-y-neidr is an especially large and dangerous specimen on account of all of the mates she has devoured over the years. | |

In the New 52 version of Wonder Woman, the Amazons of Themyscira sustain their population by kidnapping men, having sex with them, then killing them. Oh, and if the babies are male, they're sold into slavery. Needless to say, fans were not amused. Due to the outcry, this was retconned away with DC Rebirth. | |

In Flat Dreams, Pryonica's mother cannibalized her dad after conceiving Pyronica, and this is apparently a cultural tradition (the fic is ambiguous if this is to Pryonica's species or Dimension 47 as a whole). Unfortunately for her mom, she didn't think that the dimension she was in at the time might not consider that to be legal, so she ended up giving birth to Pyronica in jail. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons, and derivatives like Pathfinder below, Hags often murder their lovers when they are done, unless they think it would be more fun to leave him alive afterwards. Harpies doing this has also been mentioned in some editions of D&D. |

MonsterVerse: Discussed a couple times in supplementary materials. In the Godzilla Aftershock graphic novel, Emma Russell theorizes that had the MUTO pair that featured in Godzilla (2014) succeeded in reproducing, the female MUTO probably would've killed the male, although Emma seems doubtful in this theory in light of Monarch's analysis of the MUTO Prime. The Godzilla vs. Kong novelization reveals that studies of the Skullcrawlers (who are driven by pure Horror Hunger due to their hyper-metabolism constantly keeping them on the brink of starvation) have indicated that copulations among the creatures tend to end this way. | |

Doing this is the whole MO of Sil from Species, seeing as her one goal is to reproduce, which she does by seducing as many men as possible in order to do so. And given how stunning she looks in her usual human form and how shamelessly she flaunts her sexuality, it's rather easy for her to lure men to bed - which ultimately leads them to their doom, unfortunately, as she kills them after mating or at least tries to. (It seems to be more out of instinct than malevolence, however.) | |

This happens in quite a few chapters of Pet Shop of Horrors. One of the most explicit is in the first volume when a customer buys a beautiful bird which, to her, looks like a gorgeous, winged man. She buys a female of the species when she worries that he's lonely and follows the Count's instructions to leave him alone for a period of time, but gives in and checks in on them one day early. As it turns out, the birds reproduce by the pregnant female eating the male and, by looking in a day early, the girl was "treated" to the sight of her beloved pet's still-living chewed-off head. | |

In Red Robin the "Daughter of Acheron" plans to rape Tim and get pregnant by him and then immediately kill him. The fact that she's tapping into her powers while forcefully undressing him indicates that he is probably supposed to die while she's raping him but Tim didn't come without backup so her plans are quickly ruined. | |

Sort of appears with The Darkness, a magic power that is passed from father to son (the son gaining the power when he reaches), but the father dies upon conception: - could be argued to be part of this trope if she copulates with him fully cognizant of this. | |

Occurs with the H'nemthe, characters from Star Wars Legends, who believe that a male killed after mating in this way would receive the ultimate spiritual reward by going on to the netherworld as spiritual guardian for his offspring, meaning that they didn't resist the certain death that would result from copulation. Felitipern Trevagg is an example of a male character who was part of this ritual. | |

The Taresians of Star Trek: Voyager are a One-Gender Race of females that mate with other humanoid species by implanting viruses in them that turn them into male Taresians, believing that there are long-lost children driven with the desire to return home. The mating process (a male is given three females as his wives) is deadly to the male, as they end up dying after mating with their wives. | |
