A creature which reproduces at an alarmingly fast rate. Often, there will be only one to start with, suggesting that it can reproduce asexually. If not asexual, the creature may employ Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong to extend its list of potential mates to outside its species or employ Express Delivery to bring on the next generation immediately. In extreme cases, there may be more total weight of offspring after a few generations than there was weight of available food. Which is completely impossible. Rabbits and rodents tend to show this trope. Truth in Television to an extent— but often comically exaggerated. Can potentially result in a Wave of Babies. Often the real reason to fear a Ridiculously Cute Critter, Sidekick Creature Nuisance, Adorable Evil Minions, or a Killer Rabbit especially if they employ the Zerg Rush on their foes. If they pose a threat more due to eating all available food in the area then they are a Horde of Alien Locusts. Not to be confused with something that breeds explosives, such as Grenade Eggs, that would either be a Power-Up zone (if it helps the player) or a Mook Maker (if it doesn't). May be a characteristic of Fantastic Vermin or those blessed by a Fertility God. Compare Mook Maker and Sorcerer's Apprentice Plot. Contrast Endangered Species. Can easily result in Massive Numbered Siblings. |

Swarm Simulator is possibly one of the biggest example in videogames. It's an Idle Game about a Horde of Alien Locusts that reproduce extremely quickly. Of note are the meat collecting units, the drones. These are succeeded by Queens, Nests, Greater Queens, Hives, Hive Queens, Hive Empresses, Neuroprophets, Hive Neurons, Neural Clusters, Hive Networks, Lesser Hive Minds, Hive Minds, Arch-Minds, Overminds, Ascendeds, Cosmic Networks, Galactic Clusters, Universal Cortexes, and Endless respectively. Each unit produces the unit below it, meaning that you'll have over 10^500 drones after just a few ascensions. | |

Digimon: In the second movie,note or the middle of the first English dubbed movie Diaboramon replicates himself several million times in just a few minutes. This is justified in that he's on the Internet and is explained as being a type of virus. Furthermore, the copies don't have nearly the same resistance to damage that the original Diaboramon does, as a Spam Attack destroys all of them except the original. | |

Nugs in the Dragon Age series seem to have this trait, as indicated by a codex in Dragon Age: Inquisition. They can eat almost anything, even rocks, but they have no natural defenses and are poorly-suited to most climates-they freeze in the cold and blister in the heat. But they "outpace every tooth and claw" because they breed like rabbits. | |

The Frogs of the B.P.R.D. comics take this trope quite literally, as their reproduction involves converting their bodies into giant "wombs" to hold their tadpoles, until their bodies burst open with thousands of miniature Frogs. Every one of these can grow into a seven-foot tall killing machine in less than four months, and need not be bothered with education thanks to their genetic memory. | |

Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando: The Protopets. They also reproduce asexually by spitting their offspring fully formed from their mouths. If you miss even one of a group of them, they will do just that the second you turn your back, often ending up with more than there were originally. It's no wonder that they were the focus of the villain's plot. | |

The X Parasites of Metroid Fusion, asexually-reproducing spores that can infect anything, kill the host, and take on its form and skills. Their numbers were kept in check by the Metroids, so it turns out exterminating them in Metroid II: Return of Samus wasn't such a smart idea. | |

Looney Tunes: In one short, Happy Bunny (the prototypical version of Bugs Bunny) is shown to be the father of hundreds of kids. In the Bugs Bunny cartoon, "Haredevil Hare", scientists are sending Bugs to the moon, and Bugs tries to plead with them saying he has a wife and kids... millions of kids. Parodied in one cartoon about zoo animals with a narrator commenting that scientists are fascinated by a rabbit's ability to multiply. It then shows that they're good at math. In New Looney Tunes, the episode "Hamsters" has Bugs watching Porky's 2 pet hamsters that miraculously multiplies throughout the episode. |

Naruto features creatures called Onbaa in episode 185. After Naruto spends most of the episode with a baby Onbaa clinging to his back, they, in Tsunade's words, "mate like rabbits" outside of the village; courtesy of a flock of eagles, everyone in Konoha, human and animal alike, has a baby Onbaa clinging to them by the end of the episode. | |

Aliens vs. Predator: Extinction combines this trope with Weaponized Offspring in regards to a certain face-hugging, chest-bursting race of xenomorphs. They have not one, but two upgrades that increases their birth rates to spawn more mooks: Hyperfertile Eggs, which spawn two to four facehuggers per egg, and Binary Infestation, which causes two larvae to spawn from an infested enemy or creep when they hatch. | |

In Luck be a Landlord, any symbol that creates other symbols can serve as this, though the Egg -> Chick -> Chicken line is the one that perpetuates itself. This can be extremely dangerous to a run without some means of managing it, as it may result in bloating the pool. The Conveyor Belt doubles the spawn chances of these symbols. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-3199, a half-poultry Humanoid Abomination species created by a schizophrenic Evilutionary Biologist trying to create the Ultimate Life Form. They don't eat or sleep, doing nothing but continually laying eggs with their offspring reaching sexual maturity almost instantly. Plus, they essentially have Born-Again Immortality, as every one that's killed by the Foundation has a Nigh-Invulnerable egg ready to hatch inside like a hideous phoenix. As they're programmed to constantly lay eggs in open spaces, the only way the Foundation could slow them down is to keep them submerged in water laced with sedatives as they see it as "occupied" space. Just one running loose is enough to cause The End of the World as We Know It. | |

On a season-finale episode of Hoarders, a Truth in Television example played out for a man who'd let his three pet rats — one male, two females — escape from their cage months earlier. He didn't have the heart to let them starve, or to separate the females from the litters they'd hidden in the walls, so just kept putting down food for them. Result? A ruined house from which over three thousand fancy rats were removed by humane-society workers. | |

Warframe: The Sentients can breed at a prodigious rate. Combined with the fact that they are also nigh-Physical Gods and virtually impossible to kill, they are almost invincible in their stronghold system of Tau. They easily defeated the Orokin Empire's forces sent to fight them (helped by the fact that they could easily corrupt and subvert any Orokin technology). However, they are extremely weak to the Void, the only method of FTL travel. Trying to travel through the Void usually destroys them, but they can survive for a time if they have sufficient protection—but even then, they are rendered sterile. This is the only reason they have not been able to take the Origin system yet, as the few Sentients in the system are forced to act in the shadows as manipulators instead of their traditional overwhelming Zerg Rush tactics. Except now some Sentients are arriving from Tau without going through the Void. It took them centuries to cross the distance in realspace, but they had the time and the patience. | |

The Angry Beavers: The beavers decide to stay up all night because they're not tired. After a night of shenanigans and fun, they realize that they accidentally unplugged their clock and have been awake for thousands of years. In the Sequel Episode, they find themselves still not tired so they use various methods, including using a herd of sheep to sleep, to no avail. Eventually, they go to sleep for another thousands of years, then they find their house in the middle of a futuristic world over-populated entirely with sheep. | |

Chrysalis (RinoZ): A mature Formica Sapiens queen, supplied with enough biomass, can lay six hundred eggs per day, eighteen thousand per month, which hatch within two weeks, and can then be trained up to maturity within days. That would be enough to make them dangerous. But, some of them can then evolve into more queens, making their growth exponential... It's no wonder that the Abyssal Legion treats them as a Horde of Alien Locusts, despite the ants' desire for peace. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: We have orcs, goblins (including bugbears and hobgoblins), and kobolds. Interestingly, all three of them are (Usually) evil. Parodied in one Nodwick strip, which claims humans can raze an orc village in the morning, and it will be rebuilt and repopulated by the evening. Humans are this to most of the other civilized races. It's noted that elves, dwarves, halflings, et al tend to be longer-lived, but compensate by having fairly low birth and fertility rates, and taking a long time to grow to maturity. The "normal" human birth rate, by comparison, comes across as this trope, which is why Humans Are Average; they're the only ones who have spread basically everywhere and formed all sorts of different cultures. |

Dwarf Fortress: Cats, which can actually breed so fast that if you dump a bunch into hell itself they will still breed faster than they are killed. Their, ah, fruitfulness, would not be a problem by itself, as only a very few animals need to eat yet and cats aren't one of them — so they're an infinite source of meat and leather, if you don't mind violating conservation of matter. However, unlike most animals, cats adopt their owners rather than the other way around, and once this happens, they can't be butchered, and killing them in some other, completely unintentional fashion will give their pet dwarf a bad thought. Keeping them, on the other hand, will wreak havoc on your framerate — and of course, they'll breed more kittens. The massive framerate issues from an uncontrolled cat population has been nicknamed a "catsplosion". It's finally been resolved for good with the implementation of gelding, though some players find catsplosions so iconic that they'll insist on controlling their populations without it. Birds and rabbits have been added to the animals dwarves can keep. Rabbits actually have some form of population control — they need to graze on grass or fungus in a pasture, or they'll starve to death. Despite this, "releasing" them into cavern pastures full of fungus has had the expected results of rabbits breeding faster than they could be killed by wildlife, and on occasion even killing particularly puny Forgotten Beasts on their own (Physical Hell doesn't grow grass or fungus, so the rabbits starve too fast to Zerg Rush the demons). Birds on the other hand do not require food yet, they lay and incubate eggs in large clutches, and it is theoretically possible to surpass the population cap many times over by having forty female turkeys (a dozen or so eggs per clutch) and one male, and enough nestboxes for a massive birdsplosion. |

The Dromi in Arrivals from the Dark are large amphibians, who reproduce asexually by producing hundreds (if not thousands) of larvae. While the vast majority of them will not live past several years of age, this still leaves the Dromi with an exponentially-growing population that constantly requires more and more space. This is the primary reason for their continual search for more living space, resulting in frequent conflicts with other star-faring races. In the novels, the current Dromi population is estimated at being many times the combined populations of all other known races. As they don't fear death, the Dromi typically employ We Have Reserves tactics against their enemies. Some unique Dromi have learned to curb this mindset and believe that the Dromi need to be forced to limit their breeding to manageable levels. Unfortunately, in order for that to happen, someone must defeat them, and that someone must not be willing to exterminate the entire species. | |

Halo: The Flood. The carrier forms literally explode to disperse infection forms. The infection forms also mutate their hosts implausibly fast. The Flood are like a macro-scopic version of The Virus. The Grunts. Their homeworld is a Death World where natural flame geysers are but one hazard among many. One way the Grunts cope with this as a species is by breeding very rapidly. When taken out of that environment, they have to be given contraceptive chemicals in their food and breathing gas to keep their population growth manageable. However, these restrictions are lifted in times of serious war when the Covenant need more light infantry. |

Mass Effect: The krogan used to be this trope in order to withstand their home planet. In Mass Effect 3 a character comments that a fully fertile, healthy krogan female can have, wait for it, a thousand children in a year. Scanning one former krogan colony world showed that they reached critical overpopulation in one generation. Krogan also have very long lifespans, they do not follow the Immortal Procreation Clause at all. What happened was they were uplifted into the space age and taken off Tuchanka to serve as soldiers in a war against the insectoid Rachni who were threatening the galaxy. Once they served their purpose and attempted to be part of the galactic civilization, in a peaceful environment and advanced medical technology their numbers skyrocketed and clans wanting to have troops with which to wage war... they almost turned around and took over the galaxy themselves. The "Genophage" was created by the Salarians as a desperate, horrible countermeasure; a genetic disease created to reduce them to one live birth in a thousand (the rest being stillborn). This was carefully chosen as an alternative to the genocide of the Krogan, but even with a stabilized growth rate the demoralizing that came from such a disease devastated their culture. Many felt they had become a dying society and lost their sense of comradery among each other. Salarians, to some extent. Females lay dozens of eggs automatically every year. If these go unfertilized they become males. If fertilized, they become females. Salarians have short lifespans of forty years, so they must mature fairly quickly. However, they also self-regulate; they only fertilize ten percent of their eggs and write up complicated reproduction contracts around those instances. Even so, all the worlds they colonize have high populations. There are also pyjacks, which are much like the Gizka before them in KOTOR. These were formerly called "space monkeys" in Mass Effect 1 and have become a major pest on the krogan homeworld. The angara in Mass Effect: Andromeda are litter birthers. It's unknown exactly how many children they have per pregnancy, but they tend to have large families and the idea of someone being an only child is baffling to them. |

Star Trek: The most famous example is the tribbles, which did mention that they reproduce asexually. In fact, they are actually born pregnant, and as long as they're fed, they'll keep making more tribbles. Word of God states that the tribbles were based on the rabbits in Australia note In The Trouble With Tribbles: the Birth, Sale, and Final Production of One Episode David Gerrold says "Look — I thought I was telling the “rabbits in Australiaâ€� story. When rabbits were first introduced to Australia, they multiplied at an incredible rate because there were no predators or natural enemies to keep them in control. It was an ecology story — and a spaceship is the perfect setting for it because a spaceship must be a balanced ecology.". Ironically, these creatures were instrumental in identifying the actual villain in the episode. It's probably a good thing the Klingons and tribbles instinctively hate each other, since otherwise they would have wiped out all life on several planets - though nuking their homeworld was probably a bit much. The web short "The Trouble with Edward." shows that tribbles started out as a species with a very low birth rate but were experimented on by an insane and Lethally Stupid Starfleet scientist named Edward Larkin. Furious that his new captain forbid him to perform unethical experiments on the tribbles, he disobeyed orders and injected a tribble with human genetic material. This resulted a new version of tribble that reproduced at an insane rate. Within a day the tribbles got into the science vessel's critical systems, forcing the crew to abandon ship. Larkin refused to evacuate and died crushed under a mountain of tribbles. The ship crashed onto a planet and the surviving tribbles kept breeding till they overwhelmed the local ecology. Starfleet took too long to quarantine the planet and tribbles were taken off world by unsuspecting travelers. It is implied that the tribbles Kirk encounters are actually an evolved variant that does not breed as fast as the first batch. |

In Galactic Civilizations, the Torians and custom races with the same Super Ability breed four times as fast when they're happy.

Angband, Moria, and other related Roguelikes have several mostly low-level monsters which, as the in-game descriptions say, "can breed explosively." The most notorious of these are the worm masses, in all their annoying color variants. Even worse is in ADOM, where creatures get stronger as you kill more of them. | |

Myth Adventures: In Phil Foglio's comic adaptation, there's a Running Gag about small dragons that reproduce on contact with water. One of them happens to get into a market stall demonstrating umbrellas, and after that they keep showing up everywhere, until at the end of the scene the original owners are forced to round them all up. (The artist added even more dragons when the comic was reprinted as a graphic novel.)note The dragon, and the duo seen trying to dispose of it, originated in Foglio's gamer humor strip, What's New? with Phil and Dixie. | |

One Piece gives us a human example in Charlotte Linlin, aka Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors. With her 85 children (39 daughters and 46 sons) born from 43 husbands, she certainly lives up to her epithet, as Brook lampshaded. She's only 68 years old, but gave birth to decuplets when she was 50 and she still managed to gave birth to children beyond that age. | |

The space spiders (Organism 8198) from Into the Looking Glass are an interesting example. They were created as a bioweapon against the Dreen, and in any other environment they eat and breed at barely subsistence level. If they do have Dreen to eat, however...in only a couple hours, one spider dropped onto one dead bioform can multiply into a tidal wave of scuttling purple death that eats every Dreen on the field while leaving everything else unharmed. It's fully as awesome as it sounds. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Orks, capable of appearing in the millions once a small regiment of ork soldiers has infested a planet somewhere. Some believe that Orks divide like amoeba, while others believe that they are an inherent part of the warp and by invoking emotion through pillaging, the warp itself manifests Ork hordes out of thin air. Tau theory suggests that the Orks are a fungus, budding spores that attach themselves to the environment and suck it dry to produce the little "imp" and "goblin" orks that follow the soldier Orks wherever they go, growing up to become psychopathic killing machines if they survive everything the galaxy throws at them. The horror is not lost on the Tau. And what's worse, this theory isn't very far from reality: individual Orkoids release spores gradually over time and en masse on death (being Orks, they tend to do that a lot). If the spores find somewhere safe and out of the way to grow, they usually first produce useful mushrooms and varieties of Squig, followed by Snotlings and Gretchen who begin cultivating the land, taming the Squigs and establishing crude settlements, until the actual Orks start to grow and take charge of the burgeoning tribe. The timeframe for this process is not very long at all, likely only a few years. Chances are if a single green-skin organism lands on a planet, it will be infested with them for centuries to come, as the local inhabitants will have to continually fight off increasingly larger hordes of greenskins attacking from the wilderness. The only way to stop this is to burn the Orks' bodies after killing them. On the flip side, The Imperium of Man considers a Feral Ork infestation one of the best ways to train Planetary Defense Forces for Imperial Guard recruitment. Ork intelligence and technology-level is directly proportional to their population due to latent psychic powers, so are easy to defeat if attacked often. In the backstory, the Eldar used to be this - unfortunately, the depravity to which they sank as a result of Immortality Immorality led to the creation of Slaanesh while also crippling their reproductive abilities. |

Livestock mobs in Minecraft breed at a much faster rate compared to real life. Seconds after being fed their preferred food, they give birth to a baby that becomes breedable after mere 20 minutes (one in-game day) and can themselves breed again after 5 minutes. There's no penalty for in-breeding, so there's no problem in creating a massive animal farm from two initial mobs in just a few hours. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The Parasprites from "Swarm of the Century". Like the famous tribbles, they also reproduce asexually and end up eating everything in Ponyville. Interestingly, and rather realistically, the whole infestation can be traced to Fluttershy finding one and deciding to take it home with her. This is exactly how such non-native species can get a chance to wreak havoc in Real Life. | |

The Gryphons in The Wayfarer Redemption were born pregnant - with nine more Gryphons. Gorgrael's advisor intended them to only breed for three generations (Giving a total of 820 Gryphons), but Gorgrael found a way to make it self-sustaining. Since he kept the pregnant generation away from the front lines until they gave birth, getting rid of them was a serious problem for the heroes. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Early on, Kuriboh's main strength comes from its ability to multiply into the thousands in the course of a single turn, allowing them to swamp even the most powerful opponents with self-destruct attacks. It does require a Spell Card called "Multiply" in order to do this; the version of this card in the actual game has a much less powerful effect. | |

Chakona Space has the Faleshkarti, when they reach maturity they become obsessed with sex, sex triggers a hormone that decreases their intelligence, and the only way to slow the hormone's progression is to get pregnant. Also, they're Hermaphrodites so every single one of them can give birth. When the Federation makes contact with them every inch of land on their homeworld is covered with arcologies and the oceans had been converted into massive algae farms. Federation geneticists eventually discover a way to prevent the neural degradation and lower their sex drives, which was rather fortunate as they were breeding more quickly than they could colonize new planets. | |

Tex Avery MGM Cartoons: The short "Magical Maestro" has rabbits conjured up in an opera singer's hands early in his performance. The second time rabbits appear in the singer's hands, he tries to hide them behind his back, but around a dozen offspring appear on his arms as he raises them less than two seconds afterward. Another cartoon (based on the Fairy Tale The Elves & the Shoemaker) shows some elves towing a long rolling tray with two bunny slippers on the front of it. It goes behind a pillar, and when it comes out the other side, the tray is covered in tiny bunny slippers. |

Godzilla (1998): The species of the mutant lizard was capable of laying up to two hundred eggs asexually, threatening to replace humans as the dominant species on Earth. Imagine if the original Godzilla was capable of that? Had the proposed sequel been made, the danger presented by this ability would have been offset somewhat by the reveal that a full-grown Godzilla is capable of reproducing only once, and the number of eggs produced is determined by carrying capacity of the land. |

Some species in Stellaris can have the Rapid Breeder trait and/or the Migratory trait. If you set up a migration treaty with another empire predominantly populated by one of these species, you can find that new colonies may be overrun with species of migrating aliens to the point that the planet's population can easily overtake it's ability to sustain the population, and can cause shortfalls in production until the situation is resolved. Combined with the Repugnant Trait, it may even force your own species or those of the native populations off the planet. If not careful, they could overrun an entire empire. Some players deliberately make these, with the intent of creating a subversive population that wants you to cede the planet back to the empire they came from... or make you regret conquering them in the first place. | |

Genesis 1:28: "Be fruitful and multiply", otherwise known as God's famous injunction toward Adam and Eve as the first humans. Some sects — particularly the Roman Catholic Church and the various "Quiverfull" sects — place especial emphasis on this edict, which may go a long way to explaining why Catholic countries historically have much higher population growth rates, and much larger families, on average. | |

X-COM's Chryssalids, literally. In the original game and the remake, a Chryssalid's melee attack converts the victim into a zombie that acts like a walking incubator for a new Chryssalid that will eventually "hatch" and start the cycle anew. XCOM 2 modifies Chryssalid venom by instead making it convert a victim into a tumor-like "cocoon" that can hatch three Chryssalids over the course of as many turns. This means that if Chryssalids are allowed to run free on a map with a lot of civilians on it, the situation can get out of hand very quickly. | |

Star Wars Legends: The Essential Guide to Alien Species states that the Begger's Canyon womp rats (first mentioned in the original movie) could produce litters of sixteen or more at a time. This, coupled with their size and habits, made them a severe pest to local human and alien populations, and was a factor in the government of Anchorhead announcing a bounty of ten credits per womp rat killed, something Luke Skywalker and his friends took big advantage of to help pay for their education and upgrades to their speeders (thus explaining Luke's line from the original film about how "I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters."). | |

Star Control: Star Control has the Shofixti, a sentient rodent species. At the time of Star Control II, due to the war against the Ur-Quan, their species is down to one male and six females. Bring them together and the species repopulates within a few weeks, and gives you a cheap supply of crewmembers for your fleet. The Spathi heavily exaggerate this, being a former prey species with few natural defenses. While it's not elaborated on, one prominent Spathi captain remarks that he grew up with over 18 thousand siblings. The day his mother called him by name was one of the happiest days of his life. The third game has the bizarre symbiosis of the Harika and Yorn. The Yorn are sapient, tribble-like creatures with an explosive birthrate. The Harika are toothy reptilian aliens whose favorite food is live Yorn. The Yorn are perfectly happy with this arrangement, and actually seem to enjoy being eaten, as it keeps their population in check. When talking with them, you'll see a Harika chow down on several Yorn during the course of a single convesation. |

A human example is Mother of Champions from Great Ten. Her power is to conceive a litter of 25 children each time she has sex, who complete gestation in 3 days, after which she gives birth. These metahuman offspring are superhumanly strong, but age ten years for each day they're alive, so they are used as expendable cannon fodder by the Chinese government — she has no contact with them once they are born. She has apparently given birth to thousands of these offspring, sports a perpetual pregnant belly, and relies on a robotic chair with six insectile legs to carry her around, as she gets too large to walk on her own. | |
