History Main / FertilityGod

* ''VideoGame/HonkaiStarRail'' has Yaoshi the Abundance, an unusual negative example of this trope. Yaoshi cannot bear to see mortals suffer and believes that death is the cause of all suffering, so they spread immortality across the universe. Problem is, that immortality comes with a side effect of causing people to lose their minds and turning them into monsters that indiscriminately attack other people, and their blessings also result in overpopulation, resource shortages, and ecological disasters. The Xianzhou Alliance, a federation of six [[PlanetSpaceship Planet Spaceships]], was once a group of [[ImmortalitySeeker Immortality Seekers]] who sought Yaoshi's blessing, only for the resulting immortality to nearly destroy their civilization, causing them to swear revenge. The loyal followers of Yaoshi, the Denizens of Abundance, are generally malicious, with the [[WolfMan borisin]] and [[BirdPeople wingweavers]] being warmongerers who [[ReforgedIntoAMinion biologically modify other races into attack dogs]] and enslave people into maintaining the endless living things that Yaoshi provides.

* ComicBook/PoisonIvy has commonly been worshipped as a nature and fertility goddess, due to her [[MsFanservice sexually-appealing appearance]] and [[GreenThumb ability to grow entire forests]] even in urbanized areas and other places where plant life should not be sustainable. As a scientist (and misanthrope), Ivy is usually quick to [[AGodIAmNot to dismiss these claims]], but will also take advantage of believers to fulfill whatever goal she strives toward.

* ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'': While GAIA as a whole was created for this [[spoiler:basically an A.I. tasked with recreating an entire biosphere after a global extinction event]], the specific functions that helped nurture life in the new world were DEMETER, which recreated plant life, and ELEUTHIA, which [[spoiler:created human beings and gave them a very limited early education]].

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': In a {{Flashback}}, we see Thor being chewed out by Loki for having impregnated another goddess (presumably from a {{one night stand|pregnancy}}), without noticing that the woman with flowers spawning around her feet and bluebirds flapping around her hair is a fertility goddess.

** ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'': Chauntea is the goddess of agriculture, and one of the most popular deities among Faerunian commoners. Her followers often claim that she is the progenitor of all the mortal races, and her major holiday Greengrass is essentially [[APartyAlsoKnownAsAnOrgy the Celtic holiday Beltane]] with the serial numbers filed off. Other fertility deities include Shiallia, Sharindlar from the dwarf pantheon, Aerdrie Faenya and Angharradh from the elven pantheon, Sheela Peryroyl and Yondalla from the halfling pantheon, Hathor, Isis, and Osiris from the Mulhorandi pantheon, and Luthic from the orc pantheon.

** The Norse goddess Freya, kin to [[Franchise/TheMightyThor Thor]], was originally portrayed as a goddess of fertility. Not much else was known about her. Later stories, however, claimed that "Freya" (or "Freyja") was simply another name used by the Queen of Asgard (and Thor's step-mother) Frigga. It's also claimed that it's an alias which was also used by the Asgardian goddess of sex, beauty and seduction, [[Characters/MarvelComicsTheEnchantress Amora the Enchantress]].
