Fetus Terrible	comment	The only thing creepier and more dangerous than the Enfant Terrible. The Fetus Terrible hasn't even been born yet, but will become The Antichrist or a demon prophesied to bring about The End of the World as We Know It or just wreak havoc once it escapes from its womb. The woman carrying this (often literally) hell-born spawn is usually an innocent, unwittingly impregnated by the Devil himself, and the other characters have to race to prevent the birth or stop the child from becoming the ultimate Enfant Terrible. Occasionally this can result of a perfectly normal pregnancy Gone Horribly Wrong pre or post conception, where the issue can be a mutant, Hybrid Monster, Undead Child or some other abomination. This trope can also overlap with Womb Horror, especially if the mother knows what's growing inside her. Worth noting, not all examples are "evil", several are more among the lines of a Non-Malicious Monster. Sub-Trope of Superior Successor, in cases where this isn't usual for the species.

It turns out that these Little Ones are actually the "grown-up" fetuses of infected pregnant women that were fed massive amounts of growth hormone while in utero.

Fetus Terrible / int_1f140feb	comment	FÃ«anor of The Silmarillion is an example of the "normal pregnancy gone wrong". He was so incredibly Hot-Blooded in the womb that giving birth to him depleted his mother's life energy — elf mothers pass part of their own living spirit into their children and FÃ«anor had all of it. She didn't resent him for it, but she was so spiritually exhausted that she passed away shortly into his childhood. FÃ«anor went on to become the mightiest and most skillful elf whoever lived — but also the most vainglorious, selfish, and hubristic one too.

She gives birth to twins: a daughter who looks human, then reveals a reptilian tongue and poison spit, but grows up to be one of the good guys; and a short-lived scaled son who's the carrier of a toxin that becomes the heroes' chief weapon against the alien invaders. So he's a Fetus Terrible for humans in looks and for the aliens in physiology.

Fetus Terrible / int_2b70efd4	comment	Old World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness: The first edition of Werewolf: The Forsaken has the unihar, or "ghost children," which are created when two werewolves have a sexual relationship and the female gets pregnant. At birth, a twisted malformed spirit emerges and flees into the Shadow Realm, waiting to grow more powerful and exact revenge upon its parents. Averted in 2E, wherein the product of two werewolves is simply almost certain to be a wolfblood likely to undergo the First Change. In the predecessor, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, most werecreatures are forbidden from mating with each other since the offspring will be deformed from inbreeding, and are commonly known as Metis. As Metis are born in war form and don't gain the ability to shapeshift until they're about 3 years old, their birth usually kills the mother. But while werewolf Metis are simply Wangsty outcasts, the werelizard variety are always stillborn and become evil, twisted spirits. For another Apocalypse example, there are Breeder Banes. Guess what they do. If a woman gets pregnant from a Breeder Bane, she gives birth to a Ferectoi, a type of fomori that is wholly devoted to the Wyrm. The fetus doesn't necessarily damage the birth mother... at first. But having a baby with a Bane for a soul can inflict the worst case of peripartum depression ever, as the mother starts to suspect that her pregnancy isn't natural and there's something wrong with the kid. And if she should actually act on those urges and try to terminate the pregnancy, when the Ferectoi comes to term, it usually repays those sentiments tenfold, crippling if not killing the mother during birth. The Mage: The Awakening supplement Intruders: Encounters with the Abyss has the Nativity, children born from the Abyss impregnating unfortunate Muggles. They are Paradox magnifiers, living curses of bad luck, cause the mother to become overprotective to the point of paranoia...And have no idea they're causing any of this, leading to major sympathy as everyone blames them for a crime they didn't know they commit. Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds, ahoy! Changeling: The Lost has Fetchspawn, the offspring of a Faerie human-impersonator and a human they've fallen in love with; they're generally born sociopathic monsters who are very likely to disappear into the Hedge one day, but that doesn't mean that's where the trouble starts. The extremely rare occasion that two Changelings actually manage to reproduce may also spawn a child as half-fae as their parents, whose Fae nature can be detectable (or even obvious) before its birth. Mage: The Ascension had the Widderslaint in the Book of Madness, reincarnated Nephandi (mages who are evil because of their warped souls— or possibly whose souls are warped because they're evil). The fluff text describes a Widderslaint infant who crawled into his twin brother's crib and strangled him to death.

Fetus Terrible / int_2d837b3	comment	In Chapter 49 of Hyde and Closer, we get a story about five people trapped in a tunnel: A business man, a wealthy couple, a policeman and a pregnant lady. The story basically tells how each one of them die one after another because of some creepy accidents. The catch is during the time they are trapped in the tunnel, the policeman was giving reports about how many people were still alive. He always gave the right number, but he always forgot to count one of them, the unborn child. The unborn baby was so furious for not being counted that he created those accidents to kill the people that were excluding him. In the end, he crushed his own mother under a rock and still managed to survive. Ouch.

It's made all the more horrible in AlienÂ³, when Ripley is impregnated and you know that she will die, one way or another... Prometheus picks up this trope from the previous Alien films and has a ball with it: Elizabeth Shaw recognizes right off that her pregnancy is abnormal, since she can't have children in the first place. Plus, it's grown far too quickly in the available time to possibly be human. Then she learns exactly what's growing inside her and immediately performs a Cesarean section on herself without adequate anesthetic; she's that desperate to get it out of her. The resulting baby/squid/facehugger hybrid proceeds to face-rape the Engineer and begin a very familiar cycle.

Fetus Terrible / int_37ea664b	comment	X-Factor: One Big Bad of X-Factor (1991) was Haven, who sought to bring about the foretold apocalypse today instead of waiting for it to happen on its own after still more centuries of human suffering. She was led to do it by visions sent to her by "him", but never elaborates upon just who "he" is, though you figure she's talking about God. She's not: she's pregnant, and "he" is her unborn child and the true source of her power. Zigzagged with Rahne "Wolfsbane" Sinclair of X-Factor (2006) and her son Tier. At first, it seems to be played straight; he develops at a freakish speed and kicks so hard that she needs an emergency power-up of Super-Toughness to cope with it, and eventually she gives birth to him by vomiting him out of her mouth. Averted in that not only can all of this be explained reasonably (Rahne's a mutant, dad's an Asgardian wolf-spirit), Tier himself isn't evil.

Her giving birth to him was so painful that it caused her to cry out "death", with the scream reverberating across the universe, and creating a child with the ability to destroy anything except for God.

The show puts a spin on this by having Jack be a rather nice person who doesn't really want to hurt anyone, much to the disappointment of his father. Jack then proves himself to be the ideal replacement for his malevolent grandfather God a.k.a. Chuck Shurley after he and the Winchesters figure out that Chuck is a sadistic jerkwad fanfic writer who is torturing everyone in the multiverse for his personal amusement, as he only sees them as characters of the story he writes, loves downer endings at the expense of the people he tortures, and never cared about anyone interpersonally.

Fury, the Big Bad of the series, used his Coercive powers to corrupt several of the Remillard dynasty's children before they were born. Later on, the Well-Intentioned Extremist Marc Remillard's plan to boost human evolution comes unstuck when Fury's servants infiltrate the clinic where hundreds of unborn fetuses are being given metapsychic training and corrupt them all. Subverted in the case of Jon Remillard. Sentient, aware, and superbly powerful from the first trimester, destined by genetics to become something thoroughly inhuman, he is the closest thing to a Big Good the series has.

It Lives! is a giant fetus that's seemingly attached to Mom's Heart as a result of pregnancy Gone Horribly Wrong. The battle is no different from Mom's Heart aside from the fact that It Lives! summons bosses like Chub and Teratoma during the battle. Dr. Fetus makes a cameo appearance as an unlockable item — the Fetus in a Jar, which replaces your tears with bombs. There's also the Epic Fetus item, which drops absurdly powerful missiles onto your enemies. The unlock image even has the Epic Fetus Flipping the Bird at you as missiles rain from the sky! Afterbirth introduces the item "Cambion Conception", which makes your character visibly pregnant. After being hit enough times (described in-game as "feed them with hate"), it spawns a random demonic familiar to follow you from then on. The character Lilith starts with this item. Repentance introduces Tainted Lilith, whose only method of attach is to release her demonic fetus, named Gello, out of her womb. Releasing Gello is a powerful melee attack, and when he is out he becomes controllable and fires tears at enemies, benefitting from passive upgrades. Beating Delirium with this character unlocks Gello as an item that gives other characters the same ability, albeit he's only released once and has a two-point charge limitation. Repentance also has Vis Fatty enemies, which have a demonic fetus — called Fetal Demons — attached to an umbilical cord that chase after the player, though are limited in range due to being tethered. Killing the Vis Fatty first will allow the Fetal Demon to fly around the room and chase after the player freely.

Fetus Terrible / int_4d49c6a1	comment	In Evil (2019), Eleanor is in the ninth month of her fraternal twin pregnancy, and comes to believe the male twin is malevolent, and requests an exorcism. She is initially rebuffed by the church, as an exorcism on a womb is highly unorthodox. Later, while attending mass, she appears to suffer a miscarriage, but her son is shown to still be alive. However, her daughter now mysteriously no longer appears on the ultrasound. Eleanor's doctor attributes this to Vanishing Twin Syndrome, whereby one twin absorbs the other. However, he conveniently ignores that this should only be possible about 12 weeks into the pregnancy, not 9 months (nearly-born babies don't absorb each other). Eleanor, horrified by the whole ordeal, attributes this to her son eating her daughter. David later arranges an emergency exorcism, but she gives birth before it can be completed, to a seemingly healthy baby boy.

Fetus Terrible / int_629cd094	comment	Dragon Age: Origins features a Fetus Terrible as an important plot point in the climax. It's revealed that an archdemon is killed, the Old God that inhabits it will simply jump into the next tainted creature nearby. The only thing to prevent this is to have a Grey Warden deal the killing blow as they gain their powers from the taint but still have their own souls, so the soul of the Warden and the Old God will annihilate each other. Your companion Morrigan offers to perform a ritual that enables her to become pregnant with the child of a Grey Warden. When a Grey Warden deals the killing blow to the archdemon, the Old Gods spirit will jump into the tainted child instead and save the Warden from having to sacrifice themselves. Morrigans only condition for going through with it is that she is to leave after the battle and raise the child on her own. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Inquisitor encounters Morrigan and her now ten-year old son Kieran, a normal looking but creepy and suspiciously knowledgeable child. The Old God's soul is eventually extracted from Kieran, rendering him a human child and ultimately subverting the original implication that he was going to become an Old God in human form.

Comes with a no-save allowed charm effect on the mother so a woman who becomes pregnant with one will suddenly find herself compelled to do horrible things such as committing murder and will have no idea why. Unholy Scions are conceived when a fiend has a child with a female mortal in an area highly tainted with evil. They can also be created by an evil spirit permanently merging with a developing fetus. The child is a biologically a fiend, but their appearance is that of their mother's race with only a subtle wrongness instead of being visibly half-fiend. The Atropal is a DnD monster which looks like a giant fetus. It's technically supposed to be a stillborn god, though, and is undead, floating around outside of a womb, and in the 3rd Edition was technically unkillable due to a rules loophole. If killed, some of its chunks had a chance to eventually come back again as an Atropal Scion. Legends state that a hag can switch her unborn child for that of a human female. They further claim that any mother who brings a hag-child to term will be slain by her.

It eventually merges with an egg-bodied demon, and Griffith is reborn through it.

Why does she get so big? Because he's already aged to the form of a prepubescent boy in utero. Unsurprisingly, when she goes into labor, instead of taking the usual route, he just bursts out.

These unwilling "producers" seldom survive more than a few years' of forced surrogacy, as the resulting artificial life forms are often much larger than any human adult, let alone a human infant: some "producers" are kept in nutrient vats to sustain their pregnancies, and have ribs and pelvic bones surgically removed to accommodate their over-sized pseudo-offspring.

The protagonist, Kyoko, is pregnant at the beginning of the film, only to lose her unborn child in a car crash caused by Toshio. However, later in the film, after a visit to the hospital, she discovers that her baby is somehow still alive. How can this be? All is revealed at the end of the film, when she gives birth to some dreadful, unseen thing, the sight of which causes all the present doctors to go insane and die horribly, while it shrieks inhumanly. Shortly after the adult spirit of Kayako crawls out of her womb, and, when Kyoko awakens from passing out, she sees her baby on the floor, tightly wrapped in a bloodstained piece of plastic. The finale of the film subsequently reveals that the child is Kayako reborn (or a child simply possessed by Kayako, depending on which fan theory you believe).

The extremely rare occasion that two Changelings actually manage to reproduce may also spawn a child as half-fae as their parents, whose Fae nature can be detectable (or even obvious) before its birth.

He ignored his mom when she pleaded him to stay in her womb until she is ready to give birth to him, told her to shut up then burst out of her belly and let her die. Then he killed and cannibalized anyone he pleased, wanting to eat their meat, as punishment for insulting him and out of boredom. Meruem planned to rule the world and turn all humans in cattle, he also wanted to prove he is the best strategist so he dared to top players of all games to challenge him, he beat and eaten all except a blind girl named Komugi, which makes him feel humiliated and desperate to prove he is the ultimate lifeform, but as he tried time and time again to defeat Komugi, he started to empathize and befriend her, making him reconsider that other lifeforms aren't cattle and he should protect them.

She eventually admits to hating him because she "was pregnant with twins, and then [she] wasn't". The show does point out that he's too young to be diagnosed with psychopathy, so it's unclear who's right (whether he committed his first murder in the womb, or whether his mother's mistrust of him drove him to rise to her expectations).

In a memorable Nightmare Sequence, she imagines herself giving birth to a giant maggot. For his part, Seth is against her intentions to have an abortion because it's possible that the child is fully human, and thus the last remnant of his own dying humanity, and in the climax he attempts to genetically fuse himself with her and the unborn child to save himself and create "the ultimate family". (The film ends without resolving this plot thread, so the B-Team Sequel The Fly II is about the Spin-Offspring, who turns out to be a good-hearted Uneven Hybrid.)

Botchlings are monsters born from the tortured souls of stillborn babies who were hastily discarded and buried without proper ceremony. They look like deformed toddler-sized fetuses, caked in dried blood, their umbilical cord wrapped around them like a strangling vine, and their enormous mouths filled with many sharp teeth. While they normally only prey on pregnant women, they can transform into a larger and more powerful form if directly threatened, a form akin to an alghoul. It is also possible to appease one into becoming a gentle guardian spirit for the family household, but this requires one of the parents to undergo a ritual which is both physically dangerous and emotionally traumatising.
