* ''[[Ring World]]'': City Builders are extremely fertile, such that every act of mating within their species automatically results in offspring. Females also go into heat periodically, making abstinence all but impossible for them. They consciously subvert this trope by mating with other sorts of hominid.

* ''Henry Huggins'': One of the books in [[Beverly Cleary|Beverly Cleary's]] series has Henry buy a pair of guppies, only for the guppies to breed until his room is covered in fishbowls and feeding fish takes up all of his free time.

* ''The Rolling Stones'' by [[Robert Heinlein]]: Martian Flat Cats. One flat cat produces a litter of eight kittens every thirty days or so. Not so bad comparatively, unless you're on the spacegoing equivalent of a RV and your trip lasts almost six months.

* Cerebus' in ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' could spit out Cerebus Seeds, nasty little puppies that would grow into full-grown Cerebus', and spit out more Seeds... One mini-boss fight in the game was basically trying to kill a small group of them before you got overwhelmed.

* The Palm OS game ''[[wikipedia:Space Trader chr(28)Palm OSchr(29)|Space Trader]]'' has the Tribbles. Woe betide you if you're carrying food goods while they're on your ship. If you can find the tribble collector, though, you could sell them off for some serious credits.

* The Gonarch in ''[[Half-Life (series)|Half-Life]]'', also qualifying as a [[Mook Maker]]. Apparently the final stage in the life cycle of [[Personal Space Invader|Headcrabs]], it is essentially an enormous quadrapedal exoskeleton with an equally enormous testicle dangling from it, from which it spawns an endless amount of underdeveloped Headcrabs until Gordon kills it.

* ''Unholy War'': The Prana Devils. Their out of battle ability is to produce another prana unit. In battle, they lay eggs with hatch into baby pranas that chase the opponent.
