She only had five children herself over a thousand years.

** Ich'Goa is not evil, and has no control over her offspring and whether she has them. The offspring are not AlwaysChaoticEvil, and in fact are just as often friendly StarfishAliens as ravening monstrosities. Before she was enslaved by the EvilOverlord she worked with her good offspring to protect the world from her more dangerous children. The heroes are shocked by this revelation, and must decide if killing her is really necessary.
