| 7 | A character, or mass of characters, who is/are used for breeding without having a choice in the matter. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Reasons behind this include: belief that it will promote scientific interest, belief that it will make [[SuperBreedingProgram future generations stronger]], belief that it will assimilate a group, belief that it will [[DarwinistDesire assert dominance of]] (and "breed out") a race, practical means for turning a SlaveRace into a ServantRace, or even attempting to ensure the survival of a race [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt following a large tragedy]] in the [[WellIntentionedExtremist most relatively benign cases]]. Or baser reasons like {{Lust}} or [[EgoTropes Ego]]. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Regardless, don't expect them to care about the victim's feelings on the matter. When it involves sex, by definition, this is a [[SexualHarassmentAndRapeTropes Rape Trope]], since the person's consent is a non-issue. Even when the slave is ''willing'', the fact that they ''are'' a slave without any real ability to choose makes this QuestionableConsent at best. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | SubTrope to ChosenConceptionPartner and MadeASlave, without the person having a choice in the matter. Is most often a specific form of a SexSlave, though SpeculativeFiction tropes can skip the sex entirely. Often used for titillation and {{Fanservice}}, especially in FanFiction and {{UsefulNotes/Pornography}}, but it's also used to help to show just how insane, corrupt, or [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil downright evil]] the enemy is. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | This [[AlwaysFemale almost always]] involves a female being forced to bear offspring for an enemy group, though it does occur with males as well. When a [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale male is the victim of a female]], it's generally played as comedic, desirable, and/or a mark of the male's sexual prowess. In the rare case when a male victim is taken seriously, [[BlackWidow he's almost always killed after the woman confirms her pregnancy]] ([[ConceiveAndKill or immediately after sex]]). |
| 16 | |
| 17 | SisterTrope to AccidentalPornomancer. Often overlaps with MarsNeedsWomen, MateOrDie, or AbductionIsLove. Might also overlap with LadyLand or NoWomansLand. If female (or [[MisterSeahorse male in some stories]]), they may be a BabyFactory. Eunuchs — castrated men, often enslaved -- are the inverse of this trope, historically considered useful in a StandardRoyalCourt precisely because they ''can't'' breed and thus can't threaten succession by founding upstart dynasties or knocking up the ladies of the RoyalHarem.[[note]]Another reason so many monarchs employed eunuchs was that they were thought not to have familial ties and thus expected to be loyal only to the crown -- though this idea turned out to be overly optimistic, hence the EunuchsAreEvil trope.[[/note]] See also PeopleFarms. |

| 24 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 25 | * ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': The Midland women captured by Emperor Ganishka's forces are put in a magic device that infuses their unborn child with demonic energies, turning it into a demon called a Daka. The Daka then bursts its way out of the womb, killing the host, as a way to strengthen the demonic army. |
| 26 | * ''Manga/DontMeddleWithMyDaughter'': During chapter 16, Hana reveals it was [[spoiler:the Japanese government]] who created Blowjob. They captured [[TragicVillain Zenovia]] and performed experiments on her to learn the secret of her strength, but their instruments [[SuperToughness couldn't pierce her body.]] So they resorted to having her repeatedly raped and impregnated by supervillains until they had an army [[TykeBomb of offspring]] [[CreateYourOwnVillain with superpowers.]] Which is what caused Zenovia to [[StartOfDarkness turn to villainy]] [[PayEvilUntoEvil and seek revenge]] against all of humanity. |
| 27 | * In the last part of ''Manga/{{Karin}}'', it's revealed that this is what happened basically to [[spoiler:every incarnation of Sophia "Spirit of Psyche" Pistis, a female vampire [[BarrierMaiden with the ability of bestowing fertility on other vampires]], which is very important since they're a DyingRace. For thousands of years, she was reborn within the body of a vampire of the Armash bloodline (Karin's maternal family) and [[MedicalRapeAndImpregnate forced to have]] [[ChildByRape a child]] to continue that bloodline. And this would have ultimately happened ''to Karin herself'' (aka the latest Psyche) had her BadassFamily not gone into a RoaringRampageOfRescue ''and'' given her LaserGuidedAmnesia so that she could have a normal life and break this "cycle"... Ultimately, Sophia was reincarnated again as [[BabiesEverAfter Karin and Kenta's daughter Kanon]] and was able to "rest".]] |
| 28 | * In ''Manga/MonsterMusume'', Miia was supposed to bring back a human male to breed with her entire village because lamias are all born female and this is their only way to perpetuate the species. On screen, this only happens in a DreamSequence where Miia imagines her "darling" Kimihito in this situation, eventually too exhausted to do it when her turn comes. |
| 29 | * In ''Manga/WorldsEndHarem'', exactly five men in the whole world survive the purge which a virus carried on against all other men on Earth. The surviving women rose to power and now demand that these five men produce children that can bring about a new human race, one of which was denied the "demand" and was ''outright'' kidnapped into a life of sexual slavery. |
| 30 | [[/folder]] |
| 31 | |
| 32 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 33 | * In ''ComicBook/ArakSonOfThunder'', the Black Pope has women kidnapped and turned into {{sex slave}}s and breeding stock in huge numbers, gloating about his intent to invade the surface with those bred for it. |
| 34 | * In ''ComicBook/TheAuthority'', Regis Slzfi headed an empire on an alternate Earth that turned all of China into a rape camp in an attempt for his dying race to produce offspring. |
| 35 | * ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': In one storyline in ''Tales of the Dark Knight'', Batman, who has just started working as a vigilante, actually enjoys what he does until he meets the MonsterOfTheWeek -- the son of a [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi]] female scientist who looks down on him but grows somewhat fond of Batman, trying to get him to have a child with her. Partially through her son's [[CallingTheOldManOut help]], Batman manages to escape and swears to never think of what he does as 'fun' ever again. |
| 36 | * ''ComicBook/LEGIONDCComics'': The 22nd issue of ''R.E.B.E.L.S.'' Volume 2 reveals that Psions procreate by enslaving their women and forcing them to undergo impregnation against their will. |
| 37 | * In ''ComicBook/{{Paranoia}}'', the protagonist King is drugged into being one -- he comes home from work, gets pulled onto the sofa for sex with his wife Ala, then leaves the room... only to enter ''another'' room and repeat it over and over. [[ItMakesSenseInContext It is a ruse by a secret society to induce pregnancy and record the process for training purposes.]] |
| 38 | * ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'': The Grail has turned ''Jesus Christ's descendants'' (with Mary Magdalena) into this, keeping them in a cage, and forcing brother and sister to interbreed to "keep His bloodline pure". The sole surviving descendant is catastrophically inbred and obviously lacks any divine powers, but the Grail is intent on pushing him as the new Messiah. Herr Starr decides to take over the Grail because they're so blind to reality. |
| 39 | * ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'': |
| 40 | ** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': After attacking and enslaving their men, the villainous women of Mercury keep them around for hard labor and reproduction purposes. |
| 41 | ** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': The Amazons of Bana-Mighdall have perpetuated their tribe by [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse offering]] a select few of their male opponents the chance to survive by becoming their breeding slaves. They keep the men in stalls like animals. |
| 42 | ** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2011'': The ComicBook/New52 establishes rather shockingly where Amazons come from and repopulate their ranks. It turns out that like Sirens, they find nearby ships of sailors and have relations with them, upon which they kill the men and throw them overboard. |
| 43 | [[/folder]] |
| 44 | |
| 45 | [[folder:Fan Fiction]] |
| 46 | * ''Fanfic/DungeonKeeperAmi'': Malleus's slaves, who also doubled as {{Sex Slave}}s, as said: |
| 47 | --> To Malleus, the poor girls chained naked to the walls were nothing but objects of convenience, there to sate his lusts and produce offspring. |
| 48 | * Creator/KhaosOmega's 'Khaosverse' puts an interesting twist on the concept, thanks primarily to a trap orchestrated in 2811: Because of how much experience she's had with two special pregnancy-themed upgrades Jet had picked up (one in 2020, the other in 2210), Anise is given an "ability", permanently active, that causes any eligible release inside her to automatically impregnate her. Due to it, she's essentially a "perfect" breeding slave, especially to the Echo Hornets (whose co-leaders Fontina Evans and Michaela Martin orchestrated the trap and gave her the "ability" in the first place). She'll willingly enter such a mode on other occasions, including one that led to her unlocking a new power simply classified as "Beyond Diva" through a revelation from a friend of the girl Anise took a breeding slave-themed trap for. |
| 49 | * In ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'', [[SuperSupremacist the Bloodline King]] orders his Emissary to kidnap [[spoiler:Misty's older sisters]] to be used to [[SuperBreedingProgram breed more Bloodliner children]]. |
| 50 | * In the ''Franchise/{{Firefly}}'' fanfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/96304 Salvage Mission]]'', Jayne Cobb is tracked down by Captain Mal after being tortured and later sold into slavery by the Alliance. The plantation owner says he sent Jayne to the breeders soon after buying him because he hoped the muscular Jayne would put size and strength into his offspring. It didn't last long because they inherited Jayne's stubborn, ornery streak, but it took a big toll on Jayne. After Mal buys Jane and gets him safely on the shuttle he's flying, Jayne breaks down, telling Mal how the girls could be as young as 13 and between breeding and birthing, their bodies got wrecked and they could die. He indicates it was closer to rape for him, too, saying they'd give him drugs to stop him refusing and somehow leaving him no choice in doing it. |
| 51 | * In ''Fanfic/WishCarefully'', eight magically powerful girls between the ages of 13 to 25, collectively known as the Cabal, were kidnapped to be breeding stock for the higher ranks of the Death Eaters as a solution meant to inject some fresh new blood into their small gene pool. The girls are continuously impregnated until the end of their fertile years with their children either being taken from them or to share their fate. |
| 52 | [[/folder]] |
| 53 | |
| 54 | [[folder:Film — Live-Action]] |
| 55 | * The villainous, eponymous monsters in the ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' franchise do this to any species they encounter, specifically humans. By design, the Xenomorphs were created to invoke every possible means and horrific result of rape, including [[FaceFullOfAlienWingWong impregnation]]. As such, those humans they don't kill they typically bring back to and cocoon within their nest, where they will be impregnated by a facehugger. The [[ChestBurster "birthing" process]], however, is fatal. |
| 56 | * In ''Film/BoneTomahawk'', [[spoiler:the female Troglodytes are literally nothing but {{baby factor|y}}ies because all of their limbs are cut off and their eyes are cut out]]. |
| 57 | * ''Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982'': During his stint as a gladiatorial slave, Conan was, shall we say, put to stud. |
| 58 | * In ''Film/DontBreathe'', the Blind Man [[spoiler:has been keeping Cindy -- the woman who killed his daughter -- prisoner in his basement, having impregnated her via artificial insemination and bound, gagged, and chained to a cell wall, to be a surrogate for his replacement daughter. After she is killed, he attempts to use Rocky for the same purpose]]. |
| 59 | * ''Film/EvilBreedTheLegendOfSamhain'': While attempting to escape the CannibalClan's lair, Shae finds an American tourist ([[NoNameGiven identified in the credits only as 'The Breeder']]) who has just given birth to a stillborn baby. She is being held prisoner so the cannibals can mate with her, being so {{inbred|AndEvil}} that their females are now all sterile. |
| 60 | * In ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'', [[BigBad Immortan Joe]]'s five "Wives" are this, with each being given three chances to bear him a healthy male child before being cast out. If the implications about the "milk mothers" who are treated like livestock and constantly milked to provide sustenance to the Warboys is true, he's gone through quite a few of them. The plot of the movie concerns Furiosa betraying Joe to liberate his five current "Wives", leading to Joe launching a [[TheChase relentless chase]] after her to get them back. |
| 61 | * In ''Film/TimberFalls'', Ida and Clyde kidnap Sheryl and Mike and attempt to force them to conceive a child for Ida to raise. From TheTeaser, we know this is not the first time they have tried this. |
| 62 | * ''Film/VampireDiary'': Vicki tells Holly her mom was used this way by the male vampires, getting pregnant with vampire babies repeatedly while living in a house they kept her in for this purpose. Her sister and her were going to become this too, before Vicki ran away. |

| 66 | %%[[AC:Examples by author:]] |
| 67 | %%* Several antagonists in Creator/BrianKeene's novels are motivated by their need to reproduce. These include: |
| 68 | %%** Hylinus from ''Literature/DarkHollow''. |
| 69 | %%** The Ghoul from ''Ghoul''. |
| 70 | %%** The cryptids from ''Castaways''. |
| 71 | %%[[AC:Examples by title:]] |
| 72 | * ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'': |
| 73 | ** The first two free [[LizardFolk Hork-Bajir]] mention this in ''[[Recap/AnimorphsTheChange The Change]]''. |
| 74 | ** In the AlternateTimeline shown in ''[[Recap/AnimorphsTheFamiliar The Familiar]]'', humans being bred is also mentioned. In this case, it's rather easy to do given that PuppeteerParasite powers are used. |
| 75 | * In ''Literature/AriaTheScarletAmmo'', Vlad abducted [[spoiler:Riko Mine Lupin]] after her parent's death and kept her in a cage in the hopes of assimilating her genes, as he did with many people before (since she descends from a [[SuperpowerfulGenetics very powerful family]]). But since after some experiments he considers her a genetic failure, he intends to use her to produce a child that he could actually use. Whether he means fathering the child himself isn't made explicit, though -- the series isn't ''that'' dark. |
| 76 | * The main villains of the ''Literature/BazilBroketail'' novels use this as their main means of producing soldiers. Human women are used to breed imps as their primary infantry unit and animals are used in a similar fashion to breed their heavy units like trolls and ogres. |
| 77 | * ''Literature/TheBelgariad'': The Dryads, who have only females, capture human males to reproduce with. |
| 78 | * In the ''Literature/BlackJewels'' books, this overlaps with SexSlave for Damon and Lucivar, although due to various reasons, the baddies never actually succeed in getting them to impregnate anyone. |
| 79 | * The whole reason the cribs exist in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' is so that women who can't afford husbands can get pregnant by the men held captive in said cribs. |
| 80 | * ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfDorsa'': Akella learns her crew have been [[MadeASlave turned into this]] in Persepos after their capture for the Order of Targhan (an all female group). They have fathered a dozen children or so, with [[DemonicPossession their shadow infection]] rendering them obedient drones. Additionally, they're the caretakers of the children. She's outraged with her crew being used as "stud horses" like this and frees them. |
| 81 | * In ''Literature/GoblinSlayer'', the [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent goblins]] often subject the women they capture to this treatment, as goblins in this series are an all-male OneGenderRace and can't reproduce except with women from other races like humans or elves. This means every goblin is a ChildByRape, and [[AlwaysChaoticEvil the whole race]] exists solely to RapePillageAndBurn, so the more women they can capture, the faster they can grow their population, and the bigger a threat they can become. The women involved are killed when the goblins have no more use for them, and those that survive are often traumatized for life. They also don't take particularly good care of their captives; [[spoiler:Sword Maiden]], one of the survivors, had her eyes ruined in the process. |
| 82 | * In the ''Literature/{{Gor}}'' series, {{Sex Slave}}s are common, and it's mentioned that there are bred slaves. The dominance/submission issues involved are often explored. |
| 83 | * Handmaids in ''Literature/TheHandmaidsTale'' are women of reproductive age who had "lived in sin" by the standards of [[NoWomansLand the Republic of Gilead]] and have been sent to the Rachel and Leah Re-education Center. After being re-educated, the Handmaid then stays with an upper-class family and is regularly raped by the Commander in the hopes that she will get pregnant with a live, unmutated baby on behalf of his barren Wife. If she fails, she gets two more chances with this with two other families. If she fails those, then she's sent [[FateWorseThanDeath to the Colonies]]. |
| 84 | * Tindwyl from ''Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy'' was used as a breeding slave in the Lord Ruler's breeding program for the Terris people. |
| 85 | * ''Literature/OrcEroica'': Orcs habitually took female prisoners as sex slaves during the war because they're a OneGenderRace that must reproduce using females of other species, and by orcish tradition, they had to have defeated the woman in combat. One of the concessions of the peace treaty with the victorious human-led alliance is that the humans provide the orcs with female prison inmates to breed with so that their species doesn't die out. |
| 86 | * ''Literature/ThePower'': The few (10%) of men left in Bessapara are used as "studs" to impregnate the ruling women, with no other purpose. |
| 87 | * In ''Literature/ReMonster'', goblins are pretty weak monsters but can [[ExplosiveBreeder reproduce quickly]], with gestation taking 20-25 days and baby goblins reaching sexual maturity in another ~30 days. However, female goblins have a low fertility rate, so some tribes will capture women of other races in order to make more goblins faster. The main character, Rou, was actually a human who died and got reincarnated as a goblin. When he first sees the half-dozen human women (with no idea which one is his mother) his tribe keeps for recreational and breeding purposes, every one of them is an EmptyShell, not even able to speak due to the psychological trauma. He secretly [[MercyKill brings them deadly poison]] so they can choose whether to take their own lives. They all do. Some time later, when his tribe captures more human women, Hoburou challenges the tribe leader to a duel, beats him, [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership takes control of the tribe]], and forbids them from kidnapping or raping any more innocent women. Though when attacked by elves, Rou does "convince" the resulting captives via drugs into being 'companions' for his tribe, which includes the men as well; after they give in and agree to it, they seem as well off as anyone else. |
| 88 | * In ''Literature/TheShipWho'', this is the fate of women captured by [[HumanSubspecies the Kolnari]], and all their female children and grandchildren for several generations until they're considered to have produced low-caste Kolnari. Male children are castrated and made to work in demeaning positions such as medics. Whether female Kolnari capture people for this purpose for this is unknown, though they do torment them, as do male Kolnari who like men. |
| 89 | * Salt wives in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' are often this, frequently being women captured by the Ironborn and then used to make children. |
| 90 | * ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'': Kuati nobles are said in ''Literature/TheBountyHunterWars'' to keep ''telbun'', slaves used for both recreational and procreative sex. In ''[[Literature/XWingSeries X-Wing: Wedge's Gamble]]'', Erisi Dlarit and Corran Horn use a Kuati noblewoman and her ''telbun'' as their cover ID during TheInfiltration, and Erisi tells an Imperial customs agent that she's come to Coruscant with her ''telbun'' to conceive, following family tradition. |
| 91 | * In ''Literature/TimeEnoughForLove'', Lazarus Long recounts a time he bought a brother-sister "breeding pair" of genetically modified slaves with the intent to free them on a planet where two hundred years before he himself had been made a slave. In fact, the two he bought turned out to be his great-great-great-grandchildren. |
| 92 | * ''Literature/TheTraitorBaruCormorant'': The empire of Falcrest runs a grand eugenics project as part of its all-encompassing NeatFreak philosophies, which extend into race and heredity. As such, it imposes laws in its colonized territories regarding who is allowed to marry whom, and in what numbers. Women who marry without official license, especially if those marriages are of an improper racial mixture, are forced to undergo "reparatory childbearing" to undo the damage done to their censuses. |
| 93 | * In ''Literature/VanasHeritage'', Shor women are this. Their only purpose is to raise as many strong children as possible. If they fail at this, they get demoted to sex slave at best and "removed" at worst. |
| 94 | * Male Ayyad from ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime''. They are not taught anything and only basically know how to feed and dress themselves. They have no names and are referred to as "the male". At age 16 they are hooded, cloaked and presented to any female Ayyad that want children. At age 21 "the male" is studded again then executed and cremated. |
| 95 | * In the second ''Literature/TheWolfChronicles'' novel, it is revealed that when [[spoiler:Borlla]] had vanished in the first book, she had not died as her packmates thought, but instead was being kept as a slave by the Greatwolves to breed with so that the Greatwolves don't become too inbred. A few other young wolves, including males, are also being kept by them for the same purpose. |
| 96 | [[/folder]] |
| 97 | |
| 98 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 99 | * In an episode of ''Series/BuckRogersInTheTwentyFifthCentury'', men are lured to the planet Zanthia, which has become an artificial LadyLand following the capture of the entire male population as prisoners of war, to serve as slave studs. Luckily for Buck, the woman for whom he's purchased (and dressed in as fetishy an outfit as you'll see on a man on American TV in the 1970s) is more interested in rebelling against her mother, the Prime Minister who instigated the slave policy. |
| 100 | * ''Series/EarthFinalConflict'': Lily Marquette gets captured by aliens and used for breeding. |
| 101 | * ''Series/TheHandmaidsTale'': This is the Handmaids' role, to provide children for the Commanders. |
| 102 | * ''Series/{{Helix}}'': "Mother" (season 2, episode 10) shows that the immortal Michael maintained a forced breeding dungeon to accomplish his wish to have an immortal child. |
| 103 | * ''Series/{{Sliders}}'': |
| 104 | ** Wade is [[PutOnABusToHell written out]] by being captured by [=CroMags=] and sent to a breeding center. |
| 105 | ** In the episode "[[Recap/SlidersS02E02LoveGods Love Gods]]", all males are rounded up and used for breeding (with human females who are lucky enough), including Quinn. |
| 106 | * In ''Series/StargateSG1'', the Jaffa do double-duty as SlaveMooks and as living incubators for Goa'uld larvae. It's not purely a one-sided deal, though, as the larvae push the host Jaffa's system far beyond the abilities of any normal human being, such as increased durability and strength. |
| 107 | [[/folder]] |
| 108 | |
| 109 | [[folder:Mythology & Religion]] |
| 110 | * ''Literature/TheBible'': |
| 111 | ** In the ''Literature/BookOfGenesis'', Rachel and Leah's maidservants Zilpah and Bilhah, respectively, become this for the two women that are married to Jacob. Rachel first sends Zilpah to conceive the children Rachel has been unable to (Joseph and Benjamin come quite a bit later), and when this is successful, Leah has a fit and sends Bilhah to Jacob's bed, with Bilhah conceiving as well. |
| 112 | ** Later on, Jacob's firstborn son Reuben sleeps with Bilhah, and Jacob becomes so upset that upon his deathbed he denies Reuben the firstborn blessing. This wasn't Jacob being petty; by sleeping with one of his father's official sexual partners, under the custom of the time Reuben was asserting his place as head of the entire Israelite tribe -- ''before'' his father was in the grave. It was a ''huge'' insult. |
| 113 | * Myth/ClassicalMythology: One of Heracles' lesser-known feats occurred during his stay with the Amazons alongside Theseus. The queen, wanting to enjoy Theseus' company as long as possible, told them they were prisoners until Hercules had impregnated 50 Amazon women. Being, well, Hercules, he did so in ''one night''. |
| 114 | [[/folder]] |
| 115 | |
| 116 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 117 | * ''TabletopGame/DarkSun'' has the Muls, a race of human/dwarf hybrids which slave owners create by forcibly pairing human and dwarf slaves to produce a superior ServantRace -- usually male dwarves with female humans, since human women tend to be more fertile (and more expendable) than dwarf women. Since muls avert the TrueBreedingHybrid trope unlike the more well-known half-elves and half-orcs, the population is literally only sustainable by the constant forcing of human/dwarf interbreeding by slave owners. They double as a form of WickedWastefulness, since the strain of bearing a mul infant often leaves the mother infertile or dead. |
| 118 | * ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': |
| 119 | ** The Imperium of Man counts this amongst one of the many, ''many'' tropes it exaggerates: it's a theocratic authoritarian nightmare of an empire whose main driving factor is that it can throw trillions upon trillions of people into the meatgrinder of a ForeverWar and have it be a viable tactic, but all those people have to come from somewhere. At least one Space Marine Chapter has 'Breeding ''[[OneProductPlanet Worlds]]''' worlds. The Death Spectres recruit new members of the Chapter by scouring worlds for the best possible female candidates. They are taken to their homeworld of Occludus or nearby planets designated as "breeding worlds". The population of these Death Spectre-held planets are then supposed to breed future Aspirants. To support its "breeding worlds", the Chapter raids human-inhabited worlds of the Ghoul Stars; as a result, the local humans often regard the Death Spectres as just as dangerous as Xenos horrors. The details of them aren't disclosed, but considering their designation is distinct from [[CityPlanet the Hive Worlds]] whose chief export is also people, it's not hard to imagine what the people upon such worlds are subjected to. |
| 120 | ** Created by both the Iron Warriors and the Dark Mechanicum, the Daemonculaba are breeding slaves used to create new Chaos Space Marines through an ''outstandingly'' grotesque process. It starts with being 'unborn' as a mere mortal, and ends with being reborn as a slave to darkness. |
| 121 | [[/folder]] |
| 122 | |
| 123 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 124 | * ''Theatre/AFunnyThingHappenedOnTheWayToTheForum'': [[MeaningfulName Fertila the Populator]] is a breeder slave purchased by the family to produce more slaves. She saves Pseudolus's life early on by refusing to mate with just any other breeder slave and insisting on having him as a choice. |
| 125 | [[/folder]] |
| 126 | |
| 127 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 128 | * A non-human version happens in ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'' when a female A.I is mindwiped and the remaining factory default is used to mass-produce robots. It's also an interesting example in that it's the (arguable) ''good guys'' who do this out of desperation -- had they had more time, they would have used any other option. |
| 129 | * In ''Franchise/DragonAge'', the Darkspawn often capture people alive and drag them back underground where they are force-fed the flesh and or blood of darkspawn. Men become ghouls while the women are turned into Brood Mothers -- Huge, obese monstrosities riddled with BodyHorror that do nothing but birth new Darkspawn. |
| 130 | * In ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'', there is a scene where women are captured, stripped, cocooned, and impregnated by alien creatures. Apparently, their bodies also ''explode'' when the alien spawn emerges. Two recurring minor characters, the [[Creator/MaryKateAndAshleyOlsen "Holsom Twins"]], suffer this fate while Duke quips sarcastically. This is widely considered to be the low point of the series. |
| 131 | * ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'': |
| 132 | ** According to background information, [[UnevenHybrid the Breton race]] resulted from the selective breeding of high-ranking Aldmer men with especially attractive Nedic (human {{Precursors}}) women they took as second wives/concubines. The Bretons would eventually out-populate either parent species in the region. Typically, the children of a human/elf interbreeding would be the same race as their mother and only have a small number of minor traits from their father, but the Aldmer spent so long using Nedic women as their concubines and fathered so many children that elven characteristics became much more commonplace within the human population in High Rock and the Bretons became their own distinct race. |
| 133 | ** St. Alessia, the "Slave Queen", was BornIntoSlavery in the [[AbusivePrecursors Ayleid]] city of Sard, now known as Sardavar Leed. Sard was well known as a slave breeding center, and this likely would have been her fate had she not escaped. She would later lead the Alessian Revolt to overthrow the Ayleids and would be named as [[FounderOfTheKingdom the first Empress of Cyrodiil]]. |
| 134 | * In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', [[MadScientist Hojo]] intends to force Aerith to become this for Red XIII, who fortunately disagrees. In the possible StealthSequel ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'', he takes it even farther and suggests making her this for all of SOLDIER. [[EvenEvilHasStandards The rest of SHINRA is disgusted by the idea.]] In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRebirth'' his suggestions for the assistants around him in Costa del Sol for them ''To make a new hero.'' suggest he extend them the same offer. [[spoiler:Disturbingly, he makes the same remark to Tifa when his Grasptropod captures her, and drops her into a tank with mutated men he had wanted studied for their genetic structure.]] |
| 135 | * ''Franchise/MassEffect'': The [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Krogan]] race {{invert|edTrope}}s this trope. After being hit with [[DepopulationBomb the Genophage]], which cuts their fertility rate by 99.9% to curb their ExplosiveBreeder biology, the Krogan are a DyingRace, and fertile females are ''insanely'' valuable, to the point that the backstory mentions fertile Krogan women using their fertility to acquire major political and military influence. Striking a fertile female is considered one of the worst crimes possible to the Krogan, and a clan of fertile females being threatened is one of [[EveryoneHasStandards the few things]] that will get all Krogan tribes to band together and defend the clan. |
| 136 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential the player can do this]] if they construct a [[https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorials/Villager_farming villager farm]] to breed villagers en-masse. This can be used to supply villagers for trading or to support an iron golem farm (as villagers spawn iron golems). |
| 137 | * ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'': |
| 138 | ** Discussed in an intro between Cassie Cage and Kollector. |
| 139 | --->'''Cassie:''' Earthrealm has nothing for you.\ |
| 140 | '''Kollector:''' My slavers need breeding stock.\ |
| 141 | '''Cassie:''' ''Automatic no!'' |
| 142 | ** After besting Johnny Cage in the ''Aftermath'' story, Sindel tells him that this is the future she has in mind for him and Sonya. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for her, [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Shang Tsung]] and [[BatmanGambit Fire God Liu Kang]] have other plans.]] |
| 143 | * ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': It's a meta example, but anyone who has played their fair share of the games may tell you how the Pokémon named Ditto is used. It can breed with any Pokémon except for anyone in the [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Undiscovered_(Egg_Group) Undiscovered egg group]], which mainly consists of Legendary Pokémon and Baby Pokémon. Some lampshade the tendency of players to use it for breeding by bypassing the censors and giving it offensive names on the Global Trading System. There's even {{meme|ticMutation}}s about it. |
| 144 | * ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'': Oleg was captured and used as [[spoiler:a base for an army of physically powerful, but mentally flawed, clones]], in a non-sexual example. |
| 145 | * ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'': |
| 146 | ** The building used to create dragon units in ''Tides of Darkness'' consists of a chained-down dragon queen Alexstraza, forced to lay eggs to produce young that will fight for the Horde. You can even build several of her. This is averted via {{Retcon}} later; according to a book in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', she was forced to make her ''adult'' children fight for the old Horde. |
| 147 | ** Furthermore, Deathwing's plans included turning his "sisters" Alexstrasza and Ysera into this for himself, regardless of the fact that, after being corrupted by the Old Gods, his body turned so hot that he burned three of his consorts to death while trying to mate with them, with the fourth one barely surviving the mating, which gave her permanent burn scars. |

| 151 | * In ''VisualNovel/SablesGrimoire: A Dragon's Treasure'', Sable believes that Drakan's father is such a slave, as the man is kept imprisoned in a block of crystal for centuries at a time and is released only when Drakan's mother wants to mate with him. Sable fears that he himself will meet the same fate if Drakan ever becomes a full dragon. |

| 154 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 155 | * ''Webcomic/DemonseedRedux'': The main war strategy for demons is to breed en-masse with non-demons and overwhelm the heaven with numbers. The lifespan of the slaves is rather short as a result. |
| 156 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'', the warlord Quain'tana uses her daughter Mel'arnach as this after a timeskip, in return for not outright killing Mel earlier. This is because Quain'tana herself is unable to have any more children but needs to secure a blood-related heir to the clan [[spoiler:and in fact took the protagonist, Ariel, from her real mother Mel as an infant for this purpose]] and Mel has had three children -- two boys and a girl -- in the 15 years after this deal was made. She was also used much more indirectly for this by her lover, [[spoiler:[[BigBad Snadhya'rune]]]], who took her genetic material under false pretenses and made a child who was carried to term in a UterineReplicator. Mel has apparently failed to notice or deluded herself into ignoring the similarities between the two situations. |
| 157 | * In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', according to Hedge, this was Damien's plan for Grace if he couldn't find enough chimeras to build himself an army. |
| 158 | * ''Webcomic/{{Evon}}'': When Evon was captured by the Cabal, Maximus attempted to use her to breed an army of super-sorcerers. He was only stopped by a higher-ranking Cabal member who wanted her for a different reason. |
| 159 | * ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'''s Jake English is captured by a cyborg with the explicit purpose of being turned into one of these. Jake is completely broken by this and tries to isolate himself from others out of shame and self-loathing. |
| 160 | * In ''WebComic/{{Unsounded}}'', this is the fate of any fertile woman in territory conquered by Alderode. After the dammakhert (a particular branch of the comic's version of magic) is 'installed'' and since any child conceived in the dammakhert is automatically sorted into one of the Aldish castes, the Aldish army instigates mass rape with the specific intention of breeding as many children as possible; both to replenish the castes back in Alderode and to erase the conquered people. |

| 164 | * PlayedForLaughs in ''WebAnimation/SoThisIsBasically Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' to poke fun at how a less-charitable interpretation of many of the game's mechanics is a whole lot of animal cruelty: |
| 165 | -->Once in a while the game takes a break from brutal dogfights to remind you that Pokémon is about friendship. Oh, wait, this one doesn't have the nature I was looking for. Don't worry, ''YOU CAN BE A BREEDING SLAVE!'' |
