A Fertility God is a Stock God role whose job is to create, cultivate or nurture new life, or to help create conditions in which life can thrive. They often overlap with a Love God and Food God, though not always. "Fertility" means a lot of things to different people and cultures, and thus it's not that uncommon for a god with a wider role to have "fertility" as only one of its spheres. A god wholly devoted to it is usually some type of Odd Job God except for a Proud Merchant Race, a society of Explosive Breeders, or an agrarian society, where they are often a Patron God or sometimes even promoted to Top God. Even a Proud Warrior Race understands that it's important not to piss off the god responsible for feeding its armies. By default, almost every Earth Mother or Mother Nature spirit doubles as a fertility goddess, but Nature Is Not Nice. A Nature Spirit may spend millions of years cultivating an entire species, only to wipe them all out with a single natural disaster. A pure Fertility God will usually only advocate for the creation and reproduction of life; they may even be opposed to a God/Entity of Death or Destroyer Deity, and works will often contrast the two. If they succeed in upsetting the balance, the world may eventually face an Overpopulation Crisis or some other Green Aesop in which life itself overtakes the Earth like a cancer. They may also double as a Hot God and Sex God, if hanky-panky is within their definition of "fertility". They may also be responsible for a Mystical Pregnancy or two, often helping a mother (or "father") become pregnant after a single intimate act, or sometimes even no intimacy at all, often with tons and tons of offspring. They may also be the person having a bunch of kids themselves, sometimes by many different partners. Usually possesses Flowers of Nature, Fertile Feet or Fertile Blood, with more powerful versions capable of Green Thumb, Genesis Effect or World-Healing Wave powers as a function of their station. Their worshippers are usually Nature Lovers or exhibit Purity Personified, and the gods themselves usually lean toward Light in a work that utilizes Light/Darkness Juxtaposition, with an alignment that can range anywhere from Lawful Good to True Neutral. Evil versions, however, do exist, and may be a Monster Progenitor or Mother of a Thousand Young. |

The Norse goddess Freya, kin to Thor, was originally portrayed as a goddess of fertility. Not much else was known about her. Later stories, however, claimed that "Freya" (or "Freyja") was simply another name used by the Queen of Asgard (and Thor's step-mother) Frigga. It's also claimed that it's an alias which was also used by the Asgardian goddess of sex, beauty and seduction, Amora the Enchantress. | |

With This Ring: Once Adrianna Tomaz accepts the Amulet of Isisnote Goddess of love, healing, fertility, magic, and the moon, she and Adom know that their marriage will produce children soon — which they're pleased about, both because they want children, and because it's beneficial to the country to have more potential heirs. Adrianna is less thrilled about how the transformation into Isis' avatar initially results in her being very generously proportioned and very underdressed, but Paul is able to provide her with a change of clothes from some of Wonder Woman's spares. | |

Supernatural: The brothers end up facing a Vanir, a Norse Fertility God, in "Scarecrow". Brought over to America by Scandinavian colonists, the town of Burkitsville entered an agreement where each year they would provide it with two blood sacrifices, and in return it would ensure its blessing fell upon the town, granting them constant bountiful harvests and sparing their town from financial struggles. The Vanir itself manifests in the form of a Scarecrow. It's killed at the climax when they torch its sacred tree, brought over from the old country as a sapling, that was the source of its power and tether to the world. | |

The Goddess of Life from Tasakeru. Usually appearing as a beautiful (in a couple of myths, the most beautiful) female of a given race (of which there are a whopping 9; 11 if you count near-or recently-extinct races), her purview is life, crops, fertility of all sorts, and the wellspring of Magic. Her husband is the Time god, and their mutual rival (both in love and war) is the Death god. Specific myths point her out as singularly beautiful and capable, and as a mother figure to all life on the World. | |

The prevailing faith of the Isi people in Iconoclasts does not have a named god or goddess, but has shaped their culture such that procreation and the nuclear family are seen by them as the ultimate good. The Icons of Prayer that dot their home of Isilugar depict a man and woman cradling a newborn child. It's heavily implied that, stemming from this, same-sex relationships are shunned in Isi society, which causes problems for Mina and Samba. Meanwhile, Dr. Gustavo suffers from an unnamed genetic disease that has a high if not guaranteed chance of being passed down to his children, therefore he simply refuses to have any, which has made him something of an outcast. | |

It's also claimed that it's an alias which was also used by the Asgardian goddess of sex, beauty and seduction, Amora the Enchantress. The Incredible Hercules is considered a god of male fertility; this basically shows itself in his voracious sexual appetite and sex appeal. While the Marvel continuity is rather vague on the amount of children he's had over the millennia, he's considered the possible ancestor of numerous superheroes and supervillains. Gaea the Earth Mother is revealed to be the same Earth Goddess from every pantheon, such as "Jord" from Norse myth and "Haumea" from Hawaiian myth. Naturally, as a "Mother" goddess, she is also depicted as solving a large number of problems by giving birth to the solution, such as giving birth to Typhon in an attempt to kill the Olympian Gods, giving birth to the Demogorge to kill the Elder Gods, and giving birth to Thor (before retcons) to kill Giants and other monsters. While acting as one of the co-rulers of Asgard, she was even depicted holding an unidentified newborn in her arms. |

Pathfinder: Erastil is the patron god of rural communities, family, agriculture, and hunting. He is also husband to Jaidi, an ancient Azlanti agriculture goddess; together they are parents to Halcamora, a demigoddess who specializes in parks, gardening, and wineries. On a darker note, Lamashtu is revered in some cults as the "Mother of Monsters": an Evilutionary Biologist who likes nothing better than to bring new and vile monsters into existence to set them loose on Golarion. She's seen as a patron goddess by many goblinoids. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Forgotten Realms: Chauntea is the goddess of agriculture, and one of the most popular deities among Faerunian commoners. Her followers often claim that she is the progenitor of all the mortal races, and her major holiday Greengrass is essentially the Celtic holiday Beltane with the serial numbers filed off. Other fertility deities include Shiallia, Eldath (arguably, as one of her epithets is "Mother Guardian of Groves"), Sharindlar from the dwarf pantheon, Aerdrie Faenya and Angharradh from the elven pantheon, Sheela Peryroyl and Yondalla from the halfling pantheon, Hathor, Isis, and Osiris from the Mulhorandi pantheon, and Luthic from the orc pantheon.

City-Building Series: Pharaoh: As god of the Nile, Osiris is responsible for the fertility of floodplain farms, making them barren, withholding the Inundation or even destroying the farms if displeased, or making them double their production if prayed to. Constructing his Temple Complex also allows wood and papyrus to grow back faster. Zeus: Master of Olympus: Demeter's Sanctuary turns all the land around it to meadow, on which livestock, crops or farms can be placed. She'll also bless farms and can fill granaries with food if prayed to. She's also the fourth most-powerful goddess after the Big Three, so having her around can thwart quite a few invasions by other gods. Naturally, having her as an enemy will cause a lot of problems for agriculture-based cities. Gods associated with a particular foodstuff (Poseidon for seafood, Artemis for wild game, Hera for oranges) or trade crop (Dionysus for grapes, Athena for olives) will bless their particular industry, making it more productive, and can provide large amounts of it when prayed to. Hera, Dionysus and Athena also provide groves for their crops, allowing your city to harvest a small amount every year. Aphrodite isn't a fertility goddess in the usual sense (population only increases through immigration if you have the housing for it), but if you've suffered a massive population loss due to disease she can instantly replenish your population... for less than heroic reasons. Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom: Shen Nong the Divine Farmer is one of the three Ancestor Gods, who can bless farms if kept sufficiently happy. |

Most of the MonsterVerse Kaiju, who were worshipped by ancient civilizations as gods, as revealed in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), although it depends on whether they're under Godzilla or King Ghidorah's control at the time. When Godzilla is acting as the Kaiju's alpha, he regenerates oceanic reefs; Behemoth regenerates rainforests, and even Scylla (who's classified as a Destroyer instead of a Protector) reverses polar melting. When Ghidorah is in charge, though, he makes the Kaiju help him to wipe out all life on the planet instead. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: The Summer Isles worship a goddess of love, beauty and fertility as their most important deity. Sex, lovemaking and procreation are all considered holy within the Isles' culture, with prostitution even looked upon as a treasured profession that even some high-born natives aspire to. Downplayed with the Mother. In the Faith of the Seven, she is the aspect of God who is prayed to for fertility issues, although she also represents compassion and mercy. |

Poison Ivy has commonly been worshipped as a nature and fertility goddess, due to her sexually-appealing appearance and ability to grow entire forests even in urbanized areas and other places where plant life should not be sustainable. As a scientist (and misanthrope), Ivy is usually quick to to dismiss these claims, but will also take advantage of believers to fulfill whatever goal she strives toward. | |

The Faraway Paladin: Mary's patron deity Mater has this role in the series' Fantasy Pantheon: she's a patron of agriculture and child-rearing, said to be the wife of Top God Volt, god of lightning and rulership, and mother of Gracefeel, goddess of the cycle of reincarnation. Mary's daily prayers to her yielded a highly nutritious bread that was the basis of main character William's diet growing up, while Mary herself, an undead priestess of Mater, acted as his strict but loving adoptive mother. | |

The Incredible Hercules is considered a god of male fertility; this basically shows itself in his voracious sexual appetite and sex appeal. While the Marvel continuity is rather vague on the amount of children he's had over the millennia, he's considered the possible ancestor of numerous superheroes and supervillains. | |

Nurgle, one of the Chaos Gods from Warhammer 40,000, is essentially a twisted version of this trope. His domain is fertility and life, but, the universe of Warhammer 40k being what it is, he is most closely associated with decay and disease. After all, bacteria and fungi are living things too! | |

Zeus: Master of Olympus: Demeter's Sanctuary turns all the land around it to meadow, on which livestock, crops or farms can be placed. She'll also bless farms and can fill granaries with food if prayed to. She's also the fourth most-powerful goddess after the Big Three, so having her around can thwart quite a few invasions by other gods. Naturally, having her as an enemy will cause a lot of problems for agriculture-based cities. Gods associated with a particular foodstuff (Poseidon for seafood, Artemis for wild game, Hera for oranges) or trade crop (Dionysus for grapes, Athena for olives) will bless their particular industry, making it more productive, and can provide large amounts of it when prayed to. Hera, Dionysus and Athena also provide groves for their crops, allowing your city to harvest a small amount every year. Aphrodite isn't a fertility goddess in the usual sense (population only increases through immigration if you have the housing for it), but if you've suffered a massive population loss due to disease she can instantly replenish your population... for less than heroic reasons. |

Lore Olympus: Fertility goddesses are born roughly once every generation, and are notable for their ability to bear children who are considerably stronger than their fathers and tend to overthrow them. The protagonist of the comic, Persephone, is this generation's fertility goddess, even though she has no idea, as her mother made sure she had no contact with men and joined a chastity cult. She was not unjustifiably overprotective, though, since as soon as Persephone enters the outside world, she immediately becomes a target, leading to Apollo raping her in order to pressure her into marrying him. The fertility goddesses before Persephone included Metis, Rhea, and Gaia. | |

The GURPS "Dungeon Fantasy" sub-line features classic dungeon fantasy-style clerics and holy warriors, and allows for the possibility of them worshiping a range of deities. Specifically, GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 7: Clerics offers different spell lists and special powers for different types of deity served; it covers "Gods of Love and Fertility" in a single section, assuming that the two domains are likely to be linked. | |

Honkai: Star Rail has Yaoshi the Abundance, an unusual negative example of this trope. Yaoshi cannot bear to see mortals suffer and believes that death is the cause of all suffering, so they spread immortality across the universe. Problem is, that immortality comes with a side effect of causing people to lose their minds and turning them into monsters that indiscriminately attack other people, and their blessings also result in overpopulation, resource shortages, and ecological disasters. The Xianzhou Alliance, a federation of six Planet Spaceships, was once a group of Immortality Seekers who sought Yaoshi's blessing, only for the resulting immortality to nearly destroy their civilization, causing them to swear revenge. The loyal followers of Yaoshi, the Denizens of Abundance, are generally malicious, with the borisin and wingweavers being warmongerers who biologically modify other races into attack dogs and enslave people into maintaining the endless living things that Yaoshi provides. | |

Fate/hollow ataraxia's viewpoint character notes that Medusa/Rider used to be a fertility goddess before a curse and several decades of moral corruption warped her into a snake-headed monster. The sane version of her residing in the Emiya household has few traces of her old purview left, those being her inhumanly attractive body and her fixation on shipping people she likes...a fixation that manifests by giving them erotic dreams and encouraging them to ogle each other's assets. It seems that "superficiality" was not a big concern in Ancient Greece. | |
