Line 9:
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 Wingwong]] 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 [[No Conservation of Mass|more total weight]] of offspring after a few generations than there was weight of available food. [[You Fail Physics Forever|Which is completely impossible]].
Often the real reason to fear a [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]], [[Small Annoying Creature]], or a [[Killer Rabbit]]. If an animated feature has any [[Funny Animal]] rabbits, this is an [[Obligatory Joke]].
Compare [[Mook Maker]]. Contrast [[Endangered Species]].
Line 23:
* ''[[Digimon]]'': In the second movie,<ref>the first one, in the English versions</ref> the villain 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 does, as a [[Spam Attack]] destroys everything ''except'' the original.
* Scarfies in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''
* Human example, Big Mom from the Whole Cake Island Arc of ''[[One Piece]]''. She has ''85 children with 43 different husbands'', making her this and a [[Serial Spouse]]. Making this even more bizarre, she is 68 years old at the time of the Arc, her first child being born when she was 18, her last at age 60, as many births were twins or triplets, a few were quadruplets, and at least one case of deusuplets, that's ten children at once, with no miscarriages. Of course, whether she is truly a ''normal'' human is debatable, as stranger things have happened in this reality.

Line 30 ⟶ 31:
** Coat hangers? There is a joke he was probably not trying to make there...
* An issue of ''[[Star Trek|Star Trek: Alien Spotlight]]'' focuses on tribbles. In this version, they are at least semi-intelligent, and use their breeding offensively. There's also the implication that their breeding caused some sort of disaster, possibly due to lack of resources. And they did the breeding in response to Klingons ("rufflefurs") threatening the humans that showed up.
* Marvel's version of [[Loki (comics)|Loki]] combines this with [[Really Gets Around]]. He admits he has hundreds of children via relations with mortal women. ("I'm a Norse god," he tells [[Spider-Man]], "it... happens.") Oddly, however, he keeps track of them ''all'', presumably paying child support each time (another advantage to being an Asgardian) and [[Papa Wolf|woe to any villain]] who tries to harm one of them.

* This is the theme and gag at the center of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXst4DXO5cA "Ya Wanna Buy a Bunny?"] by [[Spike Jones|Spike Jones and his City Slickers]]:
{{quote|''My 'rithmatic is gettin' bad,''

* Echidna, Mother of Monsters. Many adaptations (''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' for example) record her as the Ur-Monster, the ancestor of a large portion of the world's monstrous population... usually the near-mindless sorts, leaving the [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|semi-humanoid or otherwise intelligent monstrous races]] to have been created by their own patron deities or whatever.
Line 132 ⟶ 142:
* In the fifth season of ''[[Samurai Jack]]''. the now elderly Scotsman has ''twenty-eight'' daughters, enough to form a small regiment of soldiers in the battle against Aku. And he's an [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parent]], unfortunately.
* In the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 series)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' episode "The Big Zipp Attack", the heroes encounter a [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]] from Dimension X who is very hungry and [[Extreme Omnisexual| can eat anything]]. Eating copper causes it to split into two duplicates of itself, both just as hungry. They eventually discover that rigidium can cause them to merge into one critter again, but unfortunately, rigidium is [[Unobtainium| much, ''much'' rarer than copper.]]
* Even [[Bugs Bunny]] had to make a joke like this at least once. In "People are Bunny", he is able to answer a seemingly-tough multiplication problem in seconds, because as he puts it, "If there's one thing us rabbits can do, it's multiply."
* Another rabbit example, in ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', Babs has ''dozens'' of younger siblings, though oddly, Buster seems to be an only child.
