History Main / BreedingSlave

SubTrope to ChosenConceptionPartner and MadeASlave, without the person having a choice in the matter. Is most often a specific form of a SexSlave, though SpeculativeFiction tropes can skip the sex entirely. Often used for titillation and {{Fanservice}}, especially in FanFiction and {{UsefulNotes/Pornography}}, but it's also used to help to show just how insane, corrupt, or [[KickTheDog downright evil]] the enemy is.

* In ''Literature/ReMonster'', goblins are pretty weak monsters but can [[ExplosiveBreeder reproduce quickly]], with gestation taking 20-25 days and baby goblins reaching sexual maturity in another ~30 days. However, female goblins have a low fertility rate, so some tribes will capture women of other races in order to make more goblins faster. The main character, Rou, was actually a human who died and got reincarnated as a goblin. When he first sees the half-dozen human women (with no idea which one is his mother) his tribe keeps for recreational and breeding purposes, every one of them is an EmptyShell, not even able to speak due to the psychological trauma. He secretly [[MercyKill brings them deadly poison]] so theey can choose whether to take their own lives. They all do. Some time later, when his tribe captures more human women, Hoburou challenges the tribe leader to a duel, beats him, [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership takes control of the tribe]], and forbids them from kidnapping or raping any more innocent women. Though when attacked by elves, Rou does "convince" the resulting captives via drugs into being 'companions' for his tribe, which includes the men as well; after they give in and agree to it, they seem as well off as anyone else.

* In ''Literature/GoblinSlayer'', the [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent goblins]] often subject the women they capture to this treatment, as goblins in this series are an all-male OneGenderRace and can't reproduce except with women from other races like humans or elves. This means every goblin is a ChildByRape, and the [[AlwaysChaoticEvil whole race]] exists solely to RapePillageAndBurn, and the more women they can capture, the faster they can grow their population, and the bigger a threat they can become. The women involved are killed when the goblins have no more use for them, and those that survive are often traumatized for life.

Reasons behind this include: belief that it will promote scientific interest, belief that it will make [[SuperBreedingProgram future generations stronger]], belief that it will assimilate a group, belief that it will [[DarwinistDesire assert dominance of]] (and "breed out") a race, practical means for turning a SlaveRace into a ServantRace, or attempting to ensure the survival of a race [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt following a large tragedy]] in the most relatively benign cases. Or baser reasons like {{Lust}} or [[EgoTropes Ego]].

* In ''LightNovel/GoblinSlayer'', the [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent goblin]] race is [[OneGenderRace all male]] and can only make more goblins by impregnating women from other races like humans or elves. This means every goblin is a ChildByRape, and the [[AlwaysChaoticEvil whole race]] exists solely to RapePillageAndBurn, and the more women they can capture, the faster they can grow their population, and the bigger a threat they can become.

* In ''LightNovel/AriaTheScarletAmmo'', Vlad abducted [[spoiler:Riko Mine Lupin]] after her parent's death and kept her in a cage in the hopes of assimilating her genes, as he did with many people before (since she descends from a [[SuperpowerfulGenetics very powerful family]]). But since after some experiments he considers her a genetic failure, he intends to use her to produce a child that he could actually use. Whether he means fathering the child himself isn't made explicit though -- the series isn't ''that'' dark.

* Goblins in ''LightNovel/GoblinSlayer'' often subject the women they capture to this treatment, as goblins in this series are a OneGenderRace that can't reproduce except with other species, and because they are utter rape-happy bastards. The women involved are killed when the goblins have no more use for them, and those that survive are often traumatized for life.

* In ''Literature/TimeEnoughForLove'' Lazarus Long recounts a time he bought a brother-sister "breeding pair" of genetically modified slaves with the intent to free them on a planet where two hundred years before he himself had been made a slave. In fact the two he bought turned out to be his great-great-great-grandchildren.

* The Imperium of Man in Tabletopgame/Warhammer40000 counts this amongst one of the many, ''many'' tropes it exaggerates: It's a theocratic authoritarian nightmare of an empire whose main driving factor is that it can throw billions upon billions of people into the meatgrinder of a ForeverWar and have it be a viable tactic, but all those people have to come from somewhere - and so, amongst every other horrid thing the Imperium does to keep up its numbers, are so-called 'Breeding ''[[OneProductPlanet Worlds]]'''. The details of them aren't disclosed, but considering their designation is distinct from the [[CityPlanet Hive Worlds]] whose chief export is also people, it's not hard to imagine what the people upon such worlds are subjected to.
** The Daemonculaba. Created by both the Iron Warriors and the Dark Mechanicum, these are breeding slaves used to create new Chaos Space Marines through an ''outstandingly'' grotesque process. There's a very good reason why the 40k fanbase does not like to talk about them.

* In ''VideoGame/WarcraftII'', the building used to create dragon units consists of a chained-down dragon queen Alexstraza, forced to lay eggs to produce young that will fight for the Horde. You can even build several of her. (Probably averted via RetCon later; according to a book in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', she was forced to make her ''adult'' children fight for the old Horde.)
* It's a meta example, but anyone who has played their fair share of ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}'' videogames may tell you how the Pokemon named Ditto is used. It can breed with any Pokemon except for anyone in the [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Undiscovered_(Egg_Group) Undiscovered egg group]], which mainly consists of Legendary pokemon and Baby Pokemon. Some lampshade the tendency of players to use it for breeding by bypassing the censors and giving it offensive names on the Global Trading System. [[MemeticMutation There's even memes about it.]].

This [[AlwaysFemale almost always]] involves a female being forced to bear offspring for an enemy group, though it does occur with males as well. When a [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale male is the victim of a female]], it's generally played as comedic, desirable, and/or a mark of the male's sexual prowess. In the rare case when a male victim is taken seriously, [[BlackWidow he's almost always killed after the woman confirms her pregnancy]] ([[ConceiveAndKill or immediately after sex]].)

SisterTrope to AccidentalPornomancer. Often overlaps with MarsNeedsWomen, MateOrDie, or AbductionIsLove. Might also overlap with LadyLand or NoWomansLand. If female (or [[MisterSeahorse male in some stories]]), they may be a BabyFactory. Eunuchs--castrated men, often enslaved--are the inverse of this trope, historically considered useful in a StandardRoyalCourt precisely because they ''can't'' breed and thus can't threaten succession by founding upstart dynasties or knocking up the ladies of the RoyalHarem.[[note]]Another reason so many monarchs employed eunuchs was that they were thought not to have familial ties and thus expected to be loyal only to the crown--though this idea turned out to be overly optimistic, hence the EunuchsAreEvil trope.[[/note]] See also PeopleFarms.

* ''Manga/DontMeddleWithMyDaughter'': During chapter 16, Hana reveals it was [[spoiler: the Japanese government]] who created Blowjob. They captured [[TragicVillain Zenovia]] and performed experiments on her to learn the secret of her strength, but their instruments [[SuperToughness couldn't pierce her body.]] So they resorted to having her repeatedly raped and impregnated by supervillains until they had an army [[TykeBomb of offspring]] [[CreateYourOwnVillain with superpowers.]] Which is what caused Zenovia to [[StartOfDarkness turn to villainy]] [[PayEvilUntoEvil and seek revenge]] against all of humanity.

* In the last part of the ''Manga/{{Karin}}'' manga, it's revealed that this is what happened basically to [[spoiler:every incarnation of Sophia "Spirit of Psyche" Pistis, a female vampire [[BarrierMaiden with the ability of bestowing fertility on other vampires]], which is very important since they're a DyingRace. For thousands of years she was reborn within the body of a vampire of the Armash bloodline (Karin's maternal family) and [[MedicalRapeAndImpregnate forced to have]] [[ChildByRape a child]] to continue that bloodline. And this would have ultimately happened ''to Karin herself'' (aka the latest Psyche) had her BadassFamily not gone into a RoaringRampageOfRescue ''and'' given her LaserGuidedAmnesia so that she could have a normal life and break this "cycle"... Ultimately, Sophia was reincarnated again as [[BabiesEverAfter Karin and Kenta's daughter Kanon]] and was able to "rest".]]

* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'': In one story-line in ''Tales of the Dark Knight'', Batman, who had just started working as a vigilante, actually enjoys what he does until he meets the MonsterOfTheWeek--the son of a [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi]] female scientist who looks down on him but grows somewhat fond of Batman, trying to get him to have a child with her. Partially through her son's [[CallingTheOldManOut help]], Batman manages to escape and swears to never think of what he does as 'fun' ever again.

* Handmaids in ''Literature/TheHandmaidsTale'' by Margaret Atwood. Women of reproductive age who had "lived in sin" by the standards of the [[NoWomansLand Republic of Gilead]] are sent to the Rachel and Leah Re-education Center. After being re-educated, the Handmaid then stays with an upper-class family and is regularly raped by the Commander in the hopes that she will get pregnant with a live, unmutated baby on behalf of his barren Wife. If she fails, she gets two more chances with this with two other families. If she fails those, then she's sent to the Colonies.

* Several antagonists in ''Creator/BrianKeene'' novels are motivated by their need to reproduce. These include:
** Hylinus from ''Literature/DarkHollow''
** The Ghoul from ''Ghoul''
** The cryptids from ''Castaways''

* Salt wives in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' are often this, frequently being women captured by the Ironborn and then used to make children

** The Ghoul from ''Ghoul""
** The cryptids from "Castaways''

* A recurring motive of ''Creator/Brain Keene'' villains is to conceive children. To meet this goal, the villains typically kidnap human women. In real life, Keene and his wife struggled to conceive children.
