* Puppeteers from Niven's ''Literature/KnownSpace'' novels reproduce this way, although they only use a species of nonsentient (we hope!) herd animal from their own planet as hosts.

* [[spoiler:Saika]] from ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'''s means of [[TheVirus taking over people]] involves implanting the soul of one of its "children" in the cut it creates.

* Goblins in ''LightNovel/GoblinSlayer'' are a OneGenderRace that can only reproduce with females of other species, the result being goblins no matter what the race. If you're overtaken by goblins, you can expect to die horribly if you're male, but if you're female, you'll almost certainly be turned into a BreedingSlave[[note]]female magic users usually meet the same fate as males[[/note]] and used until you die of exhaustion.

* ''LightNovel/RentalMagica'' has a variety of Cordyceps which grows on humans in early stage of development. It's rare, so its cultivators contract suitable people as hosts [[spoiler:(and plant it on themselves for that matter)]]. However, its requirements as a parasite are negligible and it has no side effects worse than making host's hand look weird. It's more dangerous that it's a strong material component for [[{{Necromancer}} necromancy]] ''and'' [[spoiler:on the last stage of a life cycle destroys magical barriers--including ones preventing its detection]].

A creature reproduces by impregnating another species. This can be a very literal pregnancy, a rearrangement of your DNA, or it could be the implantation of a parasitic egg or larva into the body of a host of either gender, which may very well lead to a ChestBurster situation.

Please note: Despite the name given to the trope and the [[{{Squick}} unpleasant image]] its name implies, the impregnation doesn't ''have'' to occur via the face of the victim, nor does it ''have'' to be non-consensual. The above can result in an ExpressDelivery. A similar weaponized version of this would be SpawnBroodling which also involves the previous trope.

* ''Film/{{Feast}}'' had a scene which [[spoiler:took the trope's title 100% literally.]]
* ''Film/GameraVsJiger'': During their second battle, Jiger injects Gamera with an egg from her ovipositor tail, which both knocks him out and implants her offspring into his body. Two little boys [[FantasticVoyagePlot go into Gamera's comatose body]] to get rid of the baby Jiger before can "hatch".

Closely related to FaceHugger and overlaps with OrificeInvasion if the process involves forced insertion through a natural body orifice. This can easily be a prelude to WombHorror. See AnalProbing, HotSkittyOnWailordAction, BoldlyComing, and MarsNeedsWomen for more alien-on-human action.

** A monster that got DummiedOut of ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'', nicknamed "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Mr. Friendly]]", was designed to '''rape the player to death''' as its final attack.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation''

* ''Film/{{Breeders}}'' has this as its whole premise. It skips the 'metaphor' part of 'rape metaphor'.

** While it's closer to TheVirus, given that the Flood parasites tend to take direct control of the victim's body, rather than use it solely to incubate new Flood, the actual mechanism of infection can definitely follow this trope.

** According to another wiki devoted to the games, the Khezu reproduces this way, by leaping out of a crevice in the wall, paralyzing the creature it takes by surprise, and then injects its young whelps into the unfortunate victim. The whelps live off their host until it dies, or they grow strong enough to leave. You can find Khezu whelps and deliver them for money, but while you have a whelp in your inventory it will constantly bite you, slowly draining your health till you get rid of it. Its cousin, the Gigginox, doesn't use this tactic...perhaps because it just makes ''[[ExplosiveBreeder so damn many]]'' whelps. [[WeaponizedOffspring That it can send at predators.]]
** The Jyuratodus reproduces like this too, though it's thankfully not as [[BodyHorror horrific.]] That isn't saying much, however. It spawns in the wet season of the Wildspire Waste, its eggs hatch soon after, and the young sneak into an orifice of large monsters passing by, latching their sharp gills to the monster's innards and feeding on them a la candiru.
* Las Plagas in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' generally live as parasites with the tendency to mutate their hosts, but after a point in the game, the player runs into Plagas who can live independently. Their [[YourHeadASplode method of exit]] has been well-documented, but their method of entry seems to have varied: first as spores, then later via injection.
** According to Ramon Salazar's [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/residentevil/images/a/ad/Salazar_concept_art.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20121122144358 concept art]] he has tentacles that protrude from his fingers that are capable of implanting humans with tentacles, though this is [[DummiedOut unmentioned/unused]] in the game itself in favor of said injections.
** There's also the parasites that the mutated OneWingedAngel William Birkin implants into people (Ben in Leon's 1st scenario, Chief Irons and [[spoiler: Sherry]] in Claire's 1st scenario), which burst out of their victim's chest Alien-style, then metamorphose into a creature that resembles a Xenomorph. It manages to infect a corrupt Umbrella worker in ''Resident Evil: Outbreak'', too. The chest bursting only occurs if the victim's DNA doesn't match the host. Because [[spoiler: Sherry]] is the daughter of Birkin, she doesn't get a chest bursting monster and would have transformed into a monster herself had Claire not intervened.
** Then there's Saddler's favorite method of killing people: impaling them on a giant tentacle like appendage with a razor sharp stinger on the end... [[GagPenis that seems to come from a junction between his legs]].
** Plagas make a return in ''Resident Evil 5'', this time being an egg that other hosts literally shove down the throat of a victim, making it a more literal application of this trope.
** Played straight with the [[DemonicSpiders Rasklapanje]] in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''. If it kills you it pins your character down and bites onto their face. A few seconds later a new one [[ChestBurster bursts from their chest]].
** Done ''disgustingly'' so with the Drain Deimos enemies in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Remake'' that can attack by grabbing Jill, shoving a long tongue down her throat, and implanting their larvae in her stomach. This results in the "Parasite" status that slows her down and eventually kills her [[ChestBurster when the things burst out]] if she doesn't cure it by eating a Green Herb.

%%* This happens to Merton in a stranger-than-usual episode of ''Series/BigWolfOnCampus''.%%Administrivia/ZeroConentExample

->'''Leo:''' It's about those alien face-huggers. They clamp to your face and implant their babies into your stomach, right? [...] Wouldn't that mean they stick their, ''you know'', down your throat?\\

* Interestingly, this actually happened ''three'' times to Cordelia in ''Series/{{Angel}}''. In the Season 1 episode "[[Recap/AngelS01E12Expecting Expecting]]", in which she conceives a set of demonic septuplets the, er, usual way after a one-night stand. Though they're demons, not aliens, the MonsterOfTheWeek Skillosh in the season two episode "[[Recap/AngelS02E16Epiphany Epiphany]]" impregnate Cordelia by injecting their spawn into her skull after stabbing her head with a tongue stinger. (In both cases, the pregnancies are [[MagicalAbortion mystically terminated]].) Lastly, [[spoiler:her death is ultimately caused by her giving birth to Jasmine]].

* ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryDoubleFeature'': The aliens in this setting have only one goal coming to Earth: creating the perfect human-alien hybrid that will allow their DyingRace to adapt to Earth's environment. To do so, they need to regularly abduct humans to make them fall pregnant (and the biological sex of the host [[MisterSeahorse does not matter]]). The pregnancy is very much like a human one (morning sicknesses, strange food cravings, painful chest), however it is [[ExpressDelivery abnormally fast]] (the protagonists of the modern days section looking several months pregnant after a few days or weeks). While the female hosts can deliver the baby through the natural process of birth, male hosts need to have the baby [[GuttedLikeAFish surgically removed]]. And not only is the birthing delivery quite painful, it is also very dangerous for the life of the host. Let's say there's a reason why the aliens need at least five hundred test-subjects PER YEAR.
* This is how the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Magog]] reproduce on ''Series/{{Andromeda}}''. Harper once got an intestine full of mini-Magog that required AppliedPhlebotinum to remove. For a while he still had them, couldn't get rid of them safely, and so had to take a drug every day to keep them from growing that would not work forever (perhaps a protease inhibitor metaphor). They could be removed with surgery, but considering the process nearly killed a genetically enhanced {{Ubermensch}}, the typical person probably wouldn't survive.
* Though they were demons, not aliens, the ''Series/{{Angel}}'' MonsterOfTheWeek Skillosh in the season two episode "[[Recap/AngelS02E16Epiphany Epiphany]]" impregnated Cordelia by injecting their spawn into her skull after stabbing her head with a tongue stinger. Interestingly, this was actually the ''second'' time this happened to her, the first being in the Season 1 episode "[[Recap/AngelS01E12Expecting Expecting]]", where she had conceived a set of demonic septuplets the, er, usual way after a one-night stand. In both cases, the pregnancies were mystically terminated.

** Ironic given that [[spoiler:giving birth to Jasmine caused her death.]]
* Happened to Merton on a stranger than usual episode of ''Series/BigWolfOnCampus''.

** The Wirrn in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E2TheArkInSpace The Ark In Space]]" have this as a part of their complicated life cycle. The queen parasitises the bodies of other creatures (on their planet, they use non-sapient animals that they farm for the purpose, but humans can be used as well) and their body is converted into a larval Wirrn. This larva eventually becomes a fully-grown Wirrn, inheriting the knowledge of its host.
** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS15E2TheInvisibleEnemy The Invisible Enemy]]", an alien parasite that transmits itself via electrical impulses and light implanted its eggs in the Doctor's brain via his eyes. The larva hatched and escaped through the Doctor's tear ducts, but the Doctor forced it to grow to human size using his TARDIS's dimensional stabiliser and killed it.

* ''Series/{{Fringe}}'', episode "Unleashed". Charlie is attacked by a genetically-engineered creature with a sting that's believed to be poisonous. Then it turns out the sting isn't poisonous, but a means of finding a host for the creature's larval young.
* ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'': In "The Surrogate", Claire Linkwood agrees to be a surrogate mother for Craig and Donna Ellach in exchange for $30,000. She is implanted with an embryo by Dr. Deanston, who runs a clinic. A week or so later, she begins to have strange, vivid nightmares about herself and the fetus in distress. She shares them with the clinic's surrogacy support group and finds that several of the other women have had similar experiences. Seven months later, Fern, another member of the support group whom Claire has befriended, loses her baby. Shortly afterwards, Claire is approached by FBI Special Agent Glen Grant who tells her that every baby born through the Deanston Clinic's surrogacy program has disappeared without a trace. Claire is unconvinced by Grant's conspiracy theories but agrees to her ex-boyfriend Ben's request that she be examined by Dr. Chan, an old high school friend of his brother's. Dr. Chan runs an amniocentesis on Claire which reveals the presence of a strange green fluid in her womb. Claire then learns that Ben had been approached by Grant and that he didn't know Dr. Chan beforehand. Refusing to have anything more to do with Ben, Claire goes to stay with the Ellachs. When she goes into labour, they bring her to the Deanston Clinic against her will and she realizes that the two of them are part of the conspiracy. Having being tipped off by Emily Bushmill, another surrogate mother, Grant rushes to the Deanston Clinic but he is too late as Claire has already given birth. The alien controlling Claire's body explains that its species does not give birth to live young but instead uses host bodies to gestate. When gestation is complete, they devour the host from the inside out, leaving only the shell as it aids in the deception. Grant is then eaten by the aliens in control of Claire and Fern.
* ''Series/{{Primeval}}'' has an extinct parasite that normally infects dodo birds, but is perfectly capable of maturing and reproducing in humans as well. It causes rabies-like symptoms that force the host to bite the next host in line, transferring larvae into the bloodstream. They grow to adulthood in a matter of hours and eat the host's central nervous system upon reaching full maturity.

* In ''Series/StargateSG1'', the Jaffa have symbiote pouches that are used to incubate the larval form of the Goa'uld. They are dependent on their symbiotes to carry out the function of their immune system. In a season 1 episode, Daniel Jackson was raped by the Goa'uld queen Hathor to harvest DNA to make her larvae better adapted to incubation by humans from Earth. Jack O'Neill was given a symbiote pouch to accommodate one of these (though, as stated by Dr. Frasier, "nothing got in there"). Not to be confused with the implantation process, during which a ''mature'' symbiote [[PuppeteerParasite takes over the central nervous system]] of a host by entering the back of their head. The Tok'ra go in via the mouth, because they're only sharing the body and it's far more consensual -- well, except for Jolinar and Sam Carter... (That one's been argued by the fans as a misunderstanding on the part of Jolinar, who was thinking that Sam wanted to be a host-and let's face it, he/she was desperate at the time.)
** Also in the season 2 episode "Bane", Teal'c is infected by a mosquito-like alien and starts transforming into more mosquitoes. It takes both his symbiote and an antidote to cure him.
* Lampshaded in ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' episode "Doppleganger" where one character has a dream about a chestburster and then the characters sit around ''discussing the movie "Alien"''.

** In the ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]]'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS2E1TheChild The Child]]", Troi is impregnated by that week's cosmic entity and gave birth within a matter of days. Naturally, the child (the entity itself) causes the episode's NegativeSpaceWedgie just by existing.
** In the Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E18IdentityCrisis Identity Crisis]]", Geordi and several of his former crewmates are metamorphosed into invisible feral aliens after being infected by a parasite on the planet Tarchannen III they were surveying several years before.
** The ''Enterprise'' itself became a victim of this trope in "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E22Emergence Emergence]]". At first it seems the ship is becoming sapient. [[spoiler:It turns out the ship had been "impregnated" and "gave birth" to a strange construct that floated away into space.]]
** The ''[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Enterprise]]'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS01E05Unexpected Unexpected]]" had Trip unintentionally impregnated with an alien embryo after putting his hand in a box of "pebbles" at the same time as the Alien Babe Of The Week.
** ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'' establishes that, despite being the franchise's most iconic example of LizardFolk, reproduce like parasitic wasps by implanting their eggs inside other creatures. The hatchlings eat their way out, invariably killing the host, and then fight for dominance.
* Season 2 of ''Series/StrangerThings'' reveals that [[spoiler:the Demogorgon reproduces this way. The slug-like creatures are actually its larvae, and they incubate inside a host (living or dead) until they are old enough to seek out food on their own.]]

* Franchise/MonsterVerse: The adult [[Characters/MonsterVerseMUTO MUTOs]] in ''Film/Godzilla2014'' were originally implanted in their "spore" forms (explicitly confirmed to be eggs in [[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019 the sequel]]'s tie-in graphic novel ''Godzilla: Aftershock'') within the body of another member of Godzilla's species, causing the creature's death thousands of years ago as they fed on it, before emerging in the present day. The ''Godzilla: The Art of Destruction'' book provides some more details of the [=MUTOs'=] life cycle, while ''Godzilla: Aftershock'' introduces a MUTO variant named Jinshin-Mushi, which intends to lay its eggs in Godzilla just as it did to the aforementioned [=MUTOs'=] host.

* The Alien in ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' impregnates Tucker this way.

* In ''VideoGame/TheSims2'', human [[MisterSeahorse male]] sims can be abducted and impregnated by aliens if they use the telescope during the wee hours of the night. Females can also be abducted, but won't be impregnated.
* ''VideoGame/TheSims3 Seasons'' brings back that option, and unlike in the previous game where the babies were hybrids of the aliens and the Sim parent, the child will be a pure-blooded alien. With PsychicPowers.

* "{{Literature/Bloodchild}}", a short story by Creator/OctaviaButler: Human hosts (almost always male) act as incubators for eggs of the female aliens, who look something like human-size centipedes. If the host is lucky, the mother gets to him in time to extract the newly hatched larvae before they eat their way out. This relationship is presented as approaching symbiotic; the aliens (mostly) cherish the human families from whom they select their hosts, but the hosts don't get a lot of choice in the matter.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* In ''Webcomic/{{Fans}}'', Rumy is impregnated (along with a host of other artists) in a slightly more benign manner: The Energy Beings impregnate hosts via a special type of otherwise-harmless radiation, which is shown to make Rumy's head swell up for a few hours before a floating, glowy HalfHumanHybrid fetus emerges, leaving Rumy exhausted but physically unharmed.
* Several of the protagonists of ''Webcomic/{{Gnoph}}'' are parasites who lay eggs in people's nasal cavities.

* In an early ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' arc, the character Aylee is born in this manner, parodying ''Alien''. Only instead of facehuggers, the alien species uses a technique that prompts the cry, "Get me a proctologist!"

* The TropeNamer is ''Webcomic/VGCats'', which dedicated a comic to [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=108 the painful realization of the implications of facehuggers.]]

* ''Literature/TheMist'' has giant alien spiders that tie up at least one unlucky human and lay eggs in his stomach/face. He even says "[[BodyHorror I can feel them inside me]]" before they start crawling out of his face.

** In ''[[VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown Enemy Unknown]]'', Chryssalids now no longer hatch if a zombie is killed. Instead, if you wait for 3 turns before killing the zombie, a Chryssalid will be birthed (rather messily) with its host being torn apart from inside. If you kill the zombie before the Chryssalid is born, then there will be no new Chryssalid. Problem is, however, is that Chryssalids are now ''much'' more mobile, easily infect civilians where you can't reach them, and zombies are often even tougher than Chryssalids.

* In Creator/JoClayton's ''Irsud'', book 3 of ''Diadem from the Stars'', Aleytys was sold to a insect-like species to be used as the host for their next queen, which would consume her as time passed; Aleytys' abilities made her particularly good fodder.

* '''''Humanoid''''' Szayel Aporro Grantz ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' impregnates a woman ''with himself'' through her stomach, being "reborn" fully grown upon death. Believe it or not, that's not the most {{squick}}y part of this scene or its aftermath.

--->'''Khorrch:''' Even should you live after the young hatch inside you and eat their way free, you would only be reimplanted with eggs or killed outright.

'''Leo:''' I tell ya. As if killing you isn't bad enough. You also get a face full of alien wing-wong.

Please note: Despite the name given to the trope and the [[{{Squick}} pleasant image]] its name implies, the impregnation doesn't ''have'' to occur via the face of the victim, nor does it ''have'' to be non-consensual. The above can result in an ExpressDelivery. A similar weaponized version of this would be SpawnBroodling which also involves the previous trope.

* Spoofed in ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'', with a baby Film/Alien bursting from the chest of a diner customer (amusingly, [[ActorAllusion played by John Hurt again]]), then donning a hat and dancing his way offstage ala WesternAnimation/OneFroggyEvening. [[FreezeFrameBonus If you look closely, you'll see Hurt is accompanied by versions of the other crew members of the Nostromo, even Ripley, but they're played by unknown look-alikes.]] It's enough to make the heroic duo go "CheckPlease".
