| Weaponized Offspring | comment |
A creature, very often seen in video game boss battles, which creates smaller versions of itself or gives birth to attack its enemies. Sometimes there is an explanation, such as it being the queen of a race of Bee People or is the Mother of a Thousand Young, sometimes there isn't. Sometimes a monster will just spawn smaller copies and send them after the enemy with no other indication that it is actually female (sometimes it will be explicitly stated as male, on top of things). This, in video games, tends to happen just to make the boss fight more difficult and/or annoying. Usually these characters have a seemingly endless supply of offspring to launch at potential attackers. It's probably worth noting that eggs don't need to be fertilised. Natural selection favors those who pass on their genes, which requires at least some of their offspring to survive long enough to reproduce. However, in the case of eusocial insects such as bees, ants, and termites, all but the queens and drones are sterile, so it doesn't matter if they die as long as it helps their mother survive long enough to produce fertile offspring that can pass on their genes. A sister trope to Tyke Bomb, and subtrope of Mook Maker and Abnormal Ammo. Daughter of Monster Is a Mommy. Related to Flunky Boss and Asteroids Monster. Also a subtrope of Living Weapon and Natural Weapon (since the ability to produce offspring is pretty inherent). Compare Doppelgänger Attack, Proj-egg-tile. Contrast Spawn Broodling: this trope is about attacking or creating allies by giving birth; Spawn Broodling is about attacking or creating allies by making the enemy give birth. See also Drone Deployer. |

Monster Hunter: Monster Hunter 3 (Tri): The Gigginox will periodically lay a cluster of eggs on the ground, from which Giggi will emerge, sucking the health off of any Hunters they latch on to. In G Rank, it'll start laying the eggs on its back, for the sake of making it more difficult to destroy them. The eggs, however, are far preferable to the alternative of dangerous poison bombs. Monster Hunter: Rise: The Rakna-Kadaki can throw its Rachnoid offspring at Hunters and coordinate attacks with them. |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012): The space crime lord named Dregg breeds lots of drones that he uses as minions, and he uses the drone eggs as projectiles for his ship. In another episode, Stockman's mutation experiments with insects result in him creating a mutant ant that can instantly give birth to clones of itself from its back. |

In NetHack, it's possible for a character polymorphed into a female monster (regardless of what gender they were beforehand) to lay eggs. Cockatrice eggs can be thrown in order to stone an enemy. Throwing eggs you laid results in a luck penalty though. Alternatively, a character that finds an egg can carry it with them, and it may become a tame monster upon hatching. | |

Skylanders has Sonic Boom, a griffin whose children are cursed to constantly be reborn as eggs. Because of this, she decides to train her children to fight as soon as they hatch, so that they can be able to defend themselves at any time. It can be upgraded in various ways, including the ability for the eggs to inflict damage before the babies hatch from them. They also manage to inherit her sonic abilities. Also Double Trouble, a witchdoctor, sends miniature clones of himself to attack. | |

Happens too many times to count in World of Warcraft. Perhaps the most infamous example was Onyxia and whelps which she spawned occasionally. The same whelps would also spawn when a player came too close to piles of eggs in the room, and Onyxia happened to have a fearing attack which caused characters to run uncontrollably, often leading to MANY WHELPS! NOW, HANDLE IT! | |

The Binding of Isaac: From the enemy side, the Mulligans are an unwilling example, as they are living insect hives, but there's also the gray spiders that attack by ocassionaly spawning an egg sac that periodically shoots smaller spiders, Chub, who among her boss battle tactics is to spawn Chublings and, of course, there's It Lives, who is Isaac himself, as a fetus, fighting inside his mother's womb. From the player side, Tainted Lilith's version of Gello has it bursting out of their stomach like it was an unborn demon fetus bound to them with their umbilical cord that attacks on their stead. And with C Section item, Isaac can shoot out fetuses from his stomach that deal damage when coming in contact with an enemy. |

Crypt Fiends and Nerubians attack with what seems to be tiny, floating spiderlings. You can also notice that said spiders will float back to the user after being cast. Furthermore, the description of the Nerubian unit implies this. |

Pokémon: Vespiquen has three exclusive moves where she unleashes a swarm of drones to attack, defend or heal herself respectively. She's also based on a queen bee, naturally (see Real Life section below.) Dragapult is a motherly Pokémon that carries several Dreepy within the holes on its head. It also shoots the Dreepy like bullets. The Dreepy actually look forward to this, for some reason. Mega Kangaskhan borders on this, letting its baby out of its pouch so the baby can fight alongside it. |

StarCraft: In the original StarCraft, the Zerg's Queen units can spawn broodlings. In StarCraft II, the Brood Lord does the same, as does Kerrigan. StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm introduces the Swarm Host unit that spawns short-lived locusts. The Primal Zerg Pack Leader Slivan the Eternal Mother resembles a massive Swarm Host. In another mission the Brood Mother Niadra spawns several zerglings without the use of a hatchery. Heart of the Swarm also has this as an upgrade option for Banelings: when it explodes, it becomes two smaller Banelings. |

Warhammer 40,000: The Tyranid Tervigon is a walking incubator that spawns swarms of Termagants. The special character organism "The Parasite of Mortrex" has a similar deal with Ripper Swarms. On a smaller scale, a lot of Tyranid guns work on this principle, as their ammunition consists of their grubs propelled at high speed with muscle spasms. |

Several stages in Mega Man 2 contain birds that fly across the top of the screen, dropping an egg partway through. If the egg hits a solid platform, it will hatch into a swarm of tiny birds that can be hard to avoid. Of course, since both the main bird and the mini-birds are robots, they're not literally offspring, but the spirit of the trope clearly applies. | |

This generally makes the fight easier, since Chykklings are easily destroyed and usually drop profuse amounts of health and ammo. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: The Fargul Hatcher, which is not a boss but appears in only one spot on the planet Bryyo, also uses this form of attack by spawning a wave of Fargul Wasps at Samus. Metroid Hatchers, as their name suggests, spawn Phazon Metroids from time to time. The Leviathans act as these, being the offspring of Phaaze that are sent to corrupt and destroy the universe. Metroid Fusion has enemies in the water zone that launch rotating eggs (maybe they're eggs...?) from their abdomens. |

The Spider Queen boss from Ninja: Shadow of Darkness can pursue the player, but have no attacks on her own, save for releasing a web that ensnares the titular hero. But then, she will also lay several eggs, which hatches into baby spiders and starts attacking the player, who must perform some quick Button Mashing to break free from the web, kill the baby spiders via Goomba Stomp, and continue fighting the Queen. | |

In inFAMOUS 2, the Hive Lord enemy will create pods that sprout from that ground. The pods hatch Spikers if the player doesn't destroy them fast enough. | |

The 1996 release of Duke Nukem 3D had Duke face the alien queen as the Final Boss. The queen routinely birthed drones that could fire shrink rays at Duke, making him very squishable. | |

Terraria: The Eye of Cthulhu shoots out mini-eyes to attack the player as a sort of ranged attack. The Brain of Cthulhu shoots out flying eyeballs that serve as its life bar. The Queen Bee rapidly fires out bees to chase you down and damage you. After killing it, you can get a weapon that allows you to do the same thing. The Wall of Flesh shoots out burrowing worms that attack the player as well as the feeders that extend on cords to attack the player. Plantera sprouts vine attached attack mouths like the wall of flesh has in its second stage. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: The "Bluegill" neural parasites from "Conspiracy" are controlled by "mother-creatures" — large parasites — that appear to produce the smaller mind-controlling bug-like parasites. | |

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: The Fargul Hatcher, which is not a boss but appears in only one spot on the planet Bryyo, also uses this form of attack by spawning a wave of Fargul Wasps at Samus. Metroid Hatchers, as their name suggests, spawn Phazon Metroids from time to time. The Leviathans act as these, being the offspring of Phaaze that are sent to corrupt and destroy the universe. |
