What happens when Enemy Summoner meets Chest Burster? A villain that has the ability not only to kill a character but also to generate allies. This is distinguishable from The Virus in that the Spawn Brooder is not spreading itself, and from Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong in that it is an ability that takes a much shorter amount of time and is generally not considered that sort of attack. See also Flunky Boss, who might use this as an attack, Baleful Polymorph, and The Punishment. Contrast Weaponized Offspring which is about attacking or creating allies by giving birth; this trope is about attacking or creating allies by making the enemy give birth.

Undead Knights: The entire point of the gameplay is to attack enemy knights and turn them into zombies. You can even work it into your combos to zombify them instantly after weakening them. | |

In Aliens vs. Predator: Extinction, the RTS installment in the series, the entire Xenomorph economy is based on how many enemy soldiers are gestating chestbursters. An enemy afflicted by the Status Effect Cystic Tumors spawns Aliens with red stripes that are enhanced over baseline aliens when infested. | |

World of Warcraft has Curse of Doom, essentially the same spell as Doom from Warcraft 3, except it doesn't insta-kill the target, but instead deals large amounts of damage. Should this damage kill the target, it spawns a demon. Death Knights also have a talent that may count: Bloodworms, which causes their melee swings to have a chance of causing worms to burst out of the target and attack it. | |

In the Homestuck fan adventure Alabaster: The Doomed Session, this is a major plot point. One of the main bosses, Vamuin's Denizen, works exactly like this. It is revealed much later in the story. | |

Particularly horrific version in Dragon Age: Origins in the form of the Broodmothers. Lets just say that female Grey Wardens have an even bigger reason for seeking out a quick death on the battlefield than their male counterparts and leave it at that. | |

Defiance has the Infector weapon class. They shoot needles into your enemies, and when enough of them hit the poor sod, a bug bursts out of them. The exact mechanics of it do vary from one type of infector to another - some of them (e.g. the Canker variant) spawn bugs only upon the target's death, and some don't spawn bugs at all. There's also the various Hellbug event weapons, many of which also spawn bugs. | |

Pathfinder brings out the mythic Drakainia, a Mother of a Thousand Young who represents the mutagenic demon lord Lamashtu. She not only uses Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong tactics to impregnate player characters (regardless of said character's gender), but any already pregnant creatures within line of sight immediately give birth, with the children afflicted with her mutations and under her control. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Anything with Spawn, Implant, or Create Attacks; for example, the Slaad and the Marrash. Extra special mention goes to the Vargouille. If your GM is cooperative, cast Animate Dead on a carnivorous creature's last meal and see what happens. If all works out, they'll have a zombie in their tummy.note Animate Dead requires you to touch the corpses you're casting the spell on. Think about how that's going to work. |

Kingdom Rush series: The Parasyte enemies in Kingdom Rush Frontiers will latch onto your barracks soldiers and reinforcements, immobilizing them and draining health rapidly, and if that kills the troop before it's killed it immediately bursts into a much stronger, tougher and faster Reaper alien. Thankfully, no Reaper spawns if they latch onto and destroy Alric's summoned sand warriors or a Necromancer tower's spawned skeletons. The Cloud Stalker enemies in Kingdom Rush: Origins will latch onto your barracks soldiers and reinforcements, immobilizing them and draining health rapidly. If it's not killed in time that troop will explode and produce another Cloud Stalker. |

Magic: The Gathering: The expansion Rise of the Eldrazi includes a card called "Corpsehatch" that is virtually identical in function to the Trope Namer ability; it kills a creature and creates two Eldrazi Spawn in its place. There's also Skeletonize, which burns away a creature's flesh and (assuming three damage will kill it) leaves behind and undead skeleton under your command. |

Warhammer 40,000 has the Gift of Chaos/Boon of Mutation (essentially the same ability, but one is Chaos Marine psychic power and the other is a Daemon shooting attack), which attempts to turn the target into a Chaos Spawn (a mindless mass of mutated flesh). The Orks also have a special character that can polymorph an enemy into a Squig. The Tyranids have a special character that can infect units arriving from the reserve, causing them to turn into Ripper Swarms. | |

A double-blast of the TMD in Singularity turns an enemy soldier into a ghoul-like monster that hunts by sound. It will usually attack other enemies because they don't know to be quiet. A third blast to the monster will turn it into an Action Bomb. | |

In the remake's sequel XCOM 2, Chryssalids inflict the slow and painful variant instead. The usually-nonlethal attacks (assuming players are making a good pace on armor, unlike unarmored civilians) apply a lingering and persistent poison, slowly killing the target with implanted eggs that will turn their eventual corpse into a cocoon that will then burst into actual Chryssalids. | |

X-COM: Chryssalids. They will slice at you (usually killing you unless you have stronger armor), spit an embryo in your corpse, and then the embryo will infest the brain and raise the corpse as a zombie before mutating into an actual Chryssalid.

Similarly, Brood Lords in StarCraft II "create" Broodlings using their attacks, but that's because they are flinging them into battle. The Heart of the Swarm campaign has two more examples, Corpsers are a variant strain of Roach whose normal attack infects enemy units with a pair of mini-roachlings that burst out when it is killed, and one of Kerrigan's possible abilities allows her to do basically the same thing. |
