* In ''Comicbook/JourneyIntoMystery'' young Loki, in an effort to humanize [[Comicbook/FearItself the Serpent]], an unbeatable enemy, [[RewritingReality added a romantic sub-plot to his biography]]. Said sub-plot, [[spoiler:who was modelled after his best friend Leah,]] later appeared basically to go RageAgainstTheHeavens / RageAgainstTheAuthor on his ass. [[spoiler:At the end it was revealed that she grew up to become the goddess Hela.]]

Supertrope of InstantAIJustAddWater and ItCameFromTheFridge: If the unforeseen intelligence is technological or culinary in nature, see that trope instead. Examples of ambiguous nature goes on both pages.

* Molly the Monster from ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20060831.html was born accidentally]] from a test tube full of... something getting [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20060829.html spilled into a jar of crunchy peanut butter.]]

This new person or species is benevolent, and quite obviously worthy of human rights. Obvious to the audience, that is. The creators might fail to understand this, thus causing all kinds of trouble. However, in some cases, rejection from the creators may [[StartOfDarkness lead the created character to resentment or worse]].

* In issue #7 of the ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' continuation comics, Zim crash lands on a lifeless DeathWorld. Fuel leaking from his ship then [[HandWave somehow reacts]] with the planet to create a primal ooze, from which emerges a rapidly evolving ecosystem, including giant carnivorous ladybugs and sentient amoebas that worship Zim. [[spoiler: When Zim ultimately leaves the planet, he blows it up... at the amoebas' insistence, as they [[InsaneTrollLogic think it's the only way to please him]].]]

** Frankly, House Cannith can combust in embarrassment all it likes (and try shoving the proof under the carpet), but they ''really'' should have seen it coming. They tend to worship the Traveler, for crying out loud. Spontaneous artificial sapient life born of the forge... especially when most inconvenient for the prideful forger who might have gone a smidge too far into the self-satisfied bonkers and may have needed a smack on the knuckles to keep 'em sharp? Yeah -- [[ChaoticNeutral totally His/Their wheelhouse]]. Because it's hilarious. And ramifications.

* The entire point behind the ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'' story was that Mata Nui, AKA a planet-sized space-robot whose body houses the Matoran Universe, was meant to function as a sentient but ''lifeless'' robot, along with everyone living inside him. Instead, they built up cultures, began worshiping Mata Nui as a deity, developed relationships, formed alliances, fought wars... Sadly, this didn't cause another creation of the Great Beings, Marendar, to see them as more than just robots, who began to carry out his task of shutting them off. Well, "slaughtering" would be a more fitting expression.

* Sort of the whole point of ''Literature/TheDollmaker''.

* In the Franchise/CthulhuMythos, [[KingOfAllCosmos Azathoth]] created ''reality itself'' [[TheDitz by accident]].

* In addition to being able to create ice and snow, Queen Elsa from ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' can create sentient life in the form of snow people. This happen when she conjures up hers and Anna's childhood snowman Olaf during "Let It Go", completely unaware that her abilities mean she's given him life, which Anna and Kristoff end up finding out first. Subsequently, when Anna does arrive at Elsa's ice castle and Olaf inadvertently barges in prematurely (after [[ExactWords giving Anna]] [[LiteralMinded a minute]]), Elsa is surprised to find that she even brought Olaf to life. Her creation of Marshmallow on the other hand is not at all accidental, and [[spoiler:much less benign, although still relatively harmless.]]
** This carries over to the sequel short, "WesternAnimation/FrozenFever", where Elsa, having come down with a flu, ends up spawning snowgies (much smaller {{snowlems}} than even Olaf) every time she sneezes. And she sneezes a lot here.

* In ''Literature/ImpliedSpaces'', [[spoiler:the discovery of the Inept as the creator of the universe and the fact that they accidentally created all life in the universe, and the loss of his version of Daljit, is a big reason why Vindex is so adamant about coming back from the destroyed Epsilon Eridani colony to conquer the Solar System: to get enough people behind him to confront the Inept about the sorry state of the universe that led to his love's death without the possibility of resurrection.]]

* ''Fanfic/TantabusMkII'': Princess Luna tried to create an automated dream program that could [[DreamWeaver turn nightmares into good dreams]] and make her own responsibilities a little easier. Then it starts calling her "mom." Luna freaks out and grabs Twilight for advice, [[StatingTheSimpleSolution who suggests just talking to the Tantabus]].

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1048901/42/Stygian-Solace Stygian Solace]]'', [[spoiler: Yami]] is revealed to be have been a total accident. He was created when [[BigBad Ansem]] [[GrandTheftMe body-jacks]] Kairi due the inability of [[ForWantOfANail Riku]]. Kairi's pure heart purifies Ansem to create someone else entirely.

* In addition to being able to create ice and snow, Queen Elsa from ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' can create sentient life in the form of snow people.

-->-- ''Disney/{{Frozen}}''

* In Disney's ''Disney/TheBlackCauldron'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/HopeForTheHeartless'', [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent Creeper]] is revealed to have come into existence by accident. [[VillainProtagonist The Horned King]] was preparing a concoction for an unstated purpose when a little statue fell off the decaying castle that served as the work area and Creeper was born. That experiment had taken centuries to get to that point, and the Horned King [[BadBoss despises]] Creeper so much for ruining it like that.

* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}:'' According to one dwarf creation myth, Tak (the Dwarf's creator-deity) created man and dwarf on purpose, then saw the rock he'd made them from was trying to come to life. Impressed by this, he turns it into the first troll.

* Not all pregnancies are planned, after all. Some people handle the revelation that they accidentally created another human being better than others.
