* ''Website/SCPFoundation'': [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3199 SCP-3199]], a half-poultry HumanoidAbomination species created by a schizophrenic EvilutionaryBiologist trying to create the UltimateLifeForm. [[TheNeedless They don't eat or sleep]], doing nothing but continually laying eggs with their offspring reaching sexual maturity almost instantly. Plus, they essentially have BornAgainImmortality, as every one that's killed by the Foundation has a [[NighInvulnerability Nigh-Invulnerable]] egg ready to hatch inside like a hideous phoenix. As they're programmed to constantly lay eggs in open spaces, the only way the Foundation could slow them down is to keep them submerged in water laced with sedatives as they see it as "occupied" space. Just one running loose is enough to cause TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.

* The Nanites, on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''.

[[caption-width-right:350: You're rabbits! [[StatingTheSimpleSolution Couldn't you just have dug out of there?]]]]

* Here's a fun experiment: Take any two [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction compatible]] Franchise/{{Pokemon}}, and leave them at the Day Care. Once you have your egg, time how long it takes for the next one to appear. Repeat ad nauseum. If one of them has a different Trainer ID (was traded for), but they're both the same species, breeding will go insanely fast, and the Day Care owners will even comment that they seem to like each other a lot.
** A canonical example is Magikarp. It requires the lowest number of steps to hatch out of any Pokémon and its ''[[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Sun]]'' entry states that it is so fertile that you'll soon grow tired of seeing them. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration There's a reason you can find them in every body of water]].
** Feebas, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation despite being notoriously difficult to find]], is said to be populous with continuously growing numbers.
** If left unchecked, Rattata will continuously produce offspring anywhere food is available.
* The Palm OS game ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Trader_%28Palm_OS%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.

* Bunnies in VideoGame/DonutCounty will instantly mate once you get them into your hole and erupt out baby bunnies

* ''{{Franchise/Halo}}'':

* The Grid Bugs in the I/O Tower mission in [[Creator/MidwayGames Bally/Midway's]] ''{{VideoGame/TRON}}'' constantly breed as you try to fight your way through them to enter the Tower [[TimedMission before the timer runs out]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': The Parasprites from "Swarm of the Century". Like the famous tribbles, they also reproduce asexually and end up eating everything in Ponyville. Interestingly, and rather realistically, the whole infestation can be traced to [[ForWantOfANail Fluttershy finding one and deciding to take it home with her]]. This is ''[[ShownTheirWork exactly]]'' how such non-native species can get a chance to wreak havoc in RealLife.

* ''Literature/ChakonaSpace'' has the Faleshkarti, when they reach maturity they become obsessed with sex, sex triggers a hormone that decreases their intelligence, and the only way to slow the hormone's progression is to get pregnant. Also, they're {{Hermaphrodite}}s so every single one of them can give birth. When the Federation makes contact with them every inch of land on their homeworld is covered with arcologies and the oceans had been converted into massive algae farms. [[spoiler: Federation geneticists eventually discover a way to prevent the neural degradation and lower their sex drives, which was rather fortunate as they were breeding more quickly than they could colonize new planets.]]

* ''Fanfic/FluffyPony'' works generally agree that the gestation period of the titular creatures is a few weeks, for a litter of four to five that age to adulthood within a month. Many works also detail vast portions of the U.S. practically overrun by herds of them as a result.

* In the beginning of ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'', a spherical water tower collapses and starts rolling towards the crowd becoming an IndyEscape situation. Amongst the crowd is a chain-link of a few dozen baby rabbits pulled to safety from a stroller.

* The {{zerg|Rush}} from ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}''. Their gameplay mechanics are based around in producing millions and millions of little creatures.

* According to fossil evidence, many large dinosaurs would have been this compared to the mammalian megafauna they outsized. Unlike large mammals when tend to give birth to large offspring with longer gestations the bigger they get, dinosaurs typically laid a dozen or more eggs that hatched into [[GiganticAdultsTinyBabies diminutive young]]. A good example would be the hadrosaurs, many species were larger than elephants yet would regularly lay clutches of 20 or more at a time. Said young would mature quickly once they hatch, reaching half their adult size by their first birthday. This, combined with generalist diet, is what allowed them to become so successful by the end of the Cretaceous.

* The ''Literature/KamaSutra'' documented and possibly perpetuated the Indian cultural tendency to reproduce often. Modern India is the second most populous country in the world.

* ''WebOriginal/FluffyPony'' works generally agree that the gestation period of the titular creatures is a few weeks, for a litter of four to five that age to adulthood within a month. Many works also detail vast portions of the U.S. practically overrun by herds of them as a result.

* ''WebOriginal/HamstersParadise'': The [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Harmsters]] reproduce frequently with litters and these offspring are already born with open eyes and mature quickly. They evolved this trait to deal with a high death rate from both hunting large powerful prey as well as their own [[SocialDarwinist brutal society]] and this caused to be very callous in the treatment of their old and sick as they can be easily replaced.
