18This is when a character has five or more siblings. The parents will probably be HappilyMarried and have usually bred like rabbits. Sometimes they are the collective root of TheClan; other times, at least some of the children are from previous relationships. Expect this to be a noisy, rowdy clan as a whole. Also, this family will probably be portrayed in a positive light.
19
20If this trope intersects with the BadassFamily trope, be ''very'' afraid. But it's more often PlayedForLaughs.
21
22If the entire family consists of animals, it likely serves as a FurryReminder (if [[AnthropomorphicAnimal the animals usually act human]]), as many animals usually give birth to litters. This goes double if it's a family of [[ExplosiveBreeder rabbits]].
23
24For some reason, this is a popular subject for RealityTV shows--probably because this is extremely rare nowadays. In older works and stories, it sometimes just happens in passing. In the same way, older works had tropes like "the [[MagicalSeventhSon seventh son of a seventh son]] is always some kind of ChosenOne", and this wasn't some phenomenon that's extremely rare to begin with, the way it is now.
25
26In older works, this is generally seen as something great, because in reality, most people had massive numbers of children; this trope indicated not the number of births but the lack of deaths. (One reason you had so many was that in few families did all survive.) Nowadays it's more a comedy trope--often stereotypically associated with heavily Catholic cultures like {{Oireland}} and LatinLand, because Catholic doctrine forbids birth control. It was also common for the siblings in older works to be all female, with their parents disappointed that they weren't getting the son they wanted no matter how often they tried. Depending on how important they are to the work, expect the siblings to have [[CastSpeciation varying and distinct personalities]].
27
28See also TheClan, BigScrewedUpFamily, and TangledFamilyTree, likely results of this kind of birthrate lasting more than one generation.
29
30InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals overlaps with this. Likely to lead to a whole lot of children suffering from MiddleChildSyndrome; in fiction especially it can also result in an ResentfulOutnumberedSibling. The oldest and youngest siblings will often be PracticallyDifferentGenerations. See also MagicalSeventhSon. An ExplosiveBreeder always has these; someone with TooManyBabies has them all at once.

49[[folder:Animation]]
50* ''Animation/SimpleSamosa'' has a variation. At the end of "Meethi Masi", Samosa gets a visit from his countless number of younger cousins (among them ones named Cutie, Fruity, Pinky, Goldie, Shinky, Lucky, Happy, Harinder...), who--along with his aunt Sweetyhearty--stay the night at his house.
51[[/folder]]
52
53[[folder:Comic Books]]
54* Lille Skutt in ''ComicBook/{{Bamse}}'' is a [[FunnyAnimal rabbit]], and when his childhood is described we are told that he left home early because "rabbits have children often and they have many children"--his parents basically had a new ''litter'', and Lille Skutt was the smallest of ''septuplets'' in his litter, so they were running out of space and presumably carrots. (Lille Skutt himself only has one kid, though.)
55* The Destine family from ''Comicbook/ClanDestine''. At least eighteen siblings known for sure, and probably quite a few more. The parents are immortal and have been married for roughly eight hundred years, which might have something to do with it.
56* ''Franchise/DCComics'' has the Mother of Champions, a Chinese physicist whose exposure to radiation from a particle accelerator allowed her to conceive and gestate as many as 25 children in three days. These children suffered from RapidAging, becoming adults within two days, and were used as disposable super soldiers by the Chinese government. One comic has her standing before a graveyard filled with dozens if not hundreds of her children's bodies.
57* ''Franchise/DCComics'' also has '''The Bat-Family'''. Batman sports a notoriously large number of biological and adopted children. Since the New Earth continuity, Batman has had 5+ children, including but not limited to Dick Grayson, Cassandra Cain, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne.
58* ''ComicBook/DisneyKingdoms'': In the first issue of ''[[ComicBook/FigmentDisneyKingdoms Figment]]'', a brief flashback shows that Blair Mercurial/The Dreamfinder has three brothers and two sisters.
59* The entire premise of ''ComicBook/{{Dynamo 5}}'' from Image Comics is that the team is made up of half-siblings, the five superpowered illegitimate children of the deceased (and philandering) superhero, Captain Dynamo. [[spoiler:The villainess Synergy also turns out to be another of Captain Dynamo's out-of-wedlock children.]]
60* ''Comicbook/EastOfWest'' has the Kingdom of New Orleans, with its monarch John Freeman, having fifteen sons (at one point the King has to ask someone exactly how many sons he has). All named John Freeman, and known by number, though not necessarily in order of birth, since they can kill one another to "rank up."
61* The "retired" (well, sort of) [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Asgardian]] warrior Volstagg and his wife have seven children, two of which are adopted Earth boys whose parents were killed in an accident that Thor was indirectly responsible for. (They at first mistook him for Santa Claus, and he quickly became attached to them.) Well, ''he'' claimed to have eighteen children ''before'' the adoption, but he's dreadfully prone to overstatements.
62* The Ashe family of ''ComicBook/{{Princeless}}'' has eight kids, with seven daughters and one son. For bonus points, all of the girls have names starting with the letter 'A', and by the time of the story, all seven of them are locked up in towers waiting to be rescued by princes [[RebelliousPrincess until Adrienne takes matters into her own hands]].
63* ''ComicBook/TheSnowCatPrince'': Syv has six older brothers.
64* The Guthrie Family in ComicBook/XMen has 12 kids... several of whom are mutants (Sam, Paige, Jay, Melody, and Jeb). At least one of the sisters has been explicitly stated to [[MuggleBornOfMages not be a mutant]], and was unhappy with it.
65* ''ComicBook/{{Dollicious}}'': Ramen, the main character has seven sisters--three older and four younger.
66[[/folder]]
67
68[[folder:Comic Strips]]
69* ''ComicStrip/NineChickweedLane'': Uncle Roger lives up to his name via his eleven children, all identical white-blonde twins or triplets. No wonder he occasionally needs to take a weekend for himself to relax and [[spoiler: give his Transparent Closet a break]].
70* In ''ComicStrip/PricklyCity'', Kevin complains about having to fill out the names of his siblings--there isn't enough paper. And he doesn't know their names.

74[[folder:Fairy Tales]]
75%%* There was an old lady who lived in a shoe...
76* ''Literature/TheTwelveDancingPrincesses'' were all sisters, who in some versions married twelve brothers.
77* In some versions of ''Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast'', Beauty has five sisters and six brothers, of whom she is the youngest of all. Most later tellings [[AdaptedOut cut out the brothers]], who don't really contribute to the plot, and whittled down the number of sisters.
78* ''The Six Swans'' is about a girl [[DistressedDude trying to save her six brothers]], who were transformed into swans.
79** A Norwegian variant, ''The Twelve Wild Ducks'', is similar, only with the protagonist trying to save her twelve older brothers who were transformed into ducks.
80* Udea in the North African fairy tale "[[http://www.mythfolklore.net/andrewlang/207.htm Udea and her Seven Brothers]]" is the eighth child and only daughter of her parents.
81* Creator/HansChristianAndersen's ''Literature/LittleMermaid'' has five older sisters; Ariel is given six in Disney's [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 take on the story]].
82* Renzolla, the protagonist of Giambattista Basile's ''The Goat-faced Girl'', is the youngest of twelve daughters.
83* The titular protagonist of Creator/MadameDAulnoy's ''Fortunée'' has six older sisters, though her adoptive peasant family only has one brother.
84* The Fairy of the Desert in Madame d'Aulnoy's ''Literature/TheYellowDwarf'' has eleven sisters.
85* The Romanian fairy tale ''[[http://www.mythfolklore.net/andrewlang/073.htm Stan Bolovan]]'' features a couple trying to have children, only to be rewarded with ''one hundred children''. The children in this story survive [[BadassFamily and help defeat a dragon]].
86* In Creator/TheBrothersGrimm's ''[[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/authors/grimms/42godfather.html The Godfather]]'', the number is not given, however, "A poor man had so many children that he had already asked every one in the world to be godfather, and when still another child was born, no one else was left whom he could invite."
87[[/folder]]
88
89[[folder:Folklore]]
90* In folklore, this is Aarne-Thompson type 762, otherwise known as "Woman with three hundred and sixty-five children". The stories generally go that a noblewoman is rude to a peasant woman with twins, arguing that the children can't possibly be hers because no one can ''possibly'' have two children at the same time, by one husband. The peasant responds that she hopes heaven punishes the noblewoman with as many children as there are days in the year, which leads to her giving birth to 365 children in one day. The children are all baptized, but die by the end of the day.
91* In folklore, the seventh son of a seventh son was supposed to have magical powers. So it stands to reason sorcerers might have a large family.
92[[/folder]]
93
94[[folder:Films—Animation]]
95* In ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'', Tiger claims to have lost "eight brothers, ten sisters, and ''three fathers''!"
96* ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', in the film as in real life, had three sisters and one brother, all of whom perished in the Russian Revolution.
97* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'', Thumper has five sisters, though [[FridgeHorror the number changes to four]] in the [[WesternAnimation/BambiII sequel]]. By the end of the first film, Thumper marries and has four children.
98* ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInTheTwelveDancingPrincesses'': As the title suggests. The protagonist, Genevieve, is the seventh.
99* In ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast,'' all of the living teacups are apparently Mrs. Potts' children, since she refers to them as Chip's "brothers and sisters" at one point. At least six others are seen; [[AllThereInTheManual a Marvel tie-in comic]], if taken as canon, says that she has twelve in all.
100* Rita from ''WesternAnimation/FlushedAway'' has about 30 younger brothers and sisters. Given that they're a family of ''rats'', they're probably all from just two or three litters.
101* ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'': Hans has 12 older brothers, and two of them pretended he was invisible. [[spoiler:Having been ignored and neglected by them for so long, this is what causes him to snap and seek to rule some place else, hoping to rub it in their faces.]]
102* ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'':
103** [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Wayne and Wanda]] have one daughter named [[AlliterativeFamily Winnie]] and a bunch of sons (with more on the way), two of them named Wally and Wilbur. In the sequel, Winnie claims to have 300 brothers.
104** Jonathan mentions having six brothers in the first movie. But in the sequel, only one brother and a sister show up at his wedding.
105* In the movie version of ''[[WesternAnimation/HortonHearsAWho2008 Horton Hears a Who!]]'', The Mayor has ninety-six daughters and one son named Jojo, who all share a bathroom. He and his wife handle this pretty well, though he can only spare twelve seconds with each one during breakfast.
106* As in the original fairy tale, Creator/{{Disney}}'s ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}'' Ariel has six older sisters: [[ThemeNaming Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, and Alana]].
107* ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'': Secondary rabbit character Skippy has many unnamed siblings.
108* In ''Animation/TheSeventhBrother'', Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit have six children--three boys and three girls.
109* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Sing}},'' Rosita and her husband Norman have 25 piglets. Theoretically this is normal in this world of talking animals, though the babysitter that Rosita tried to hire was apparently surprised (and scared off) by the number.
110* ''WesternAnimation/{{Storks}}'': [[spoiler: Tulip's family turns out to consist of at least ten other children.]]
111* Judy Hopps from ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' has a whopping [[ExaggeratedTrope 275 siblings]]. She [[ExplosiveBreeder is a rabbit]], after all.
112[[/folder]]
113
114[[folder:Music]]
115* The "Kelly Family", an Irish clan with no less than twelve siblings (nine of whom were in the band) who were quite successful in [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Germany]] in TheNineties.
116* The Schmitt Brothers barbershop quartet was composed of four actual brothers who had thirteen siblings.
117* ''Music/DoctorBombay'' in his song Doctor Boom-Bombay lists "42 cousins, I will never be alone" and later "24 brothers I can find in my home, 18 others that I really don't know, All my sisters are married and gone, 29 husbands and 32 sons". Quite the BigScrewedUpFamily indeed, given that he also states that "My uncle's brother's sister is my mother in law. I don't know, I don't know, tell me. There's only one thing that I really know for sure, that I am, that I am, crazy."
118* Music/{{Cimorelli}} is actually composed of six sisters. If you count their five brothers outside the group, the Cimorelli family has eleven children (Which also extends to the name of group's company, ''Eleven'' Productions, LLC).
119* [[Music/NineInchNails Trent Reznor]] and his wife [[Music/HowToDestroyAngels Mariqueen Maandig]] have five children as of 2020.
120** Reznor's fellow NIN member Atticus Ross is one of six siblings (and frequently does scoring work with his brother Leopold Ross), and former guitarist Richard Patrick is one of five (along with his brother Creator/RobertPatrick).
121* Music/CelineDion is the youngest of ''fourteen'' children.
122* Music/LittleRichard was one of twelve children.
123[[/folder]]
124
125[[folder:Myths & Religion]]
126* In Myth/ClassicalMythology:
127** King Priam of Troy had fifty sons and a very large (though unspecified) number of daughters.
128** Another king, Thespius, had fifty daughters, all of whom had sex with and were impregnated by Heracles ''in one night'', resulting in fifty grandsons.
129** Danaus also had fifty daughters, forty-nine of whom were punished in Tartarus for killing their husbands, the fifty sons of their uncle Aegyptus.
130** Also, all dreams are minor gods who are siblings.
131** Just about every male god had a dozen or more kids if you count all of their illegitimate demigod offspring. However, the all-time winners have to be Oceanus and Tethys, who had ''6,000'' children together, evenly split between sons and daughters. They were the minor gods of every river in the world.
132** Another pair of ocean deities, Nereus and Doris, had 50 daughters and a son.
133** While not as extreme as many other examples in the mythology, Perseus and Andromeda had at least nine children.
134* Literature/TheBible allows polygamy and some men were supposed to have lived for centuries, so you can imagine this came up a lot.
135** Check out the genealogy sections in early books. One thing you may notice is that most, if not all, of them say something to the effect that a man had the next step in the line, and had son'''s''' and daughter'''s'''. That's at least five right there for everyone who did that.
136** Jewish tradition says that Seth alone had 33 sons and 23 daughters.
137** After the death of Sarah (indeed, after the marriage of Isaac), Abraham went on to father six children by Keturah.
138** Famously, Jacob had twelve sons and one daughter. Granted, these were spread over four women, but one of them had the daughter and half the sons.
139** Gideon had seventy sons by an unknown number of wives/concubines. Ibzan, similarly, had 35 sons and 30 daughters.
140** Jesse had eight sons, at least at the time of the anointing of David, his youngest.
141** Speaking of David, he had at least seventeen children (the six listed as having been born in Hebron were all sons; the list of eleven may be a mixture of sons and daughters).
142** Job had seven sons and three daughters. After they died, he had seven sons and three daughters more.
143* In Myth/AztecMythology, [[MotherEarth Coatlicue]] already had four hundred sons (the Centzonhuitznahua, meaning "the Four Hundred Southerners") and a daughter named [[GodOfTheMoon Coyolxauhqui]] ''before'' the MysticalPregnancy that resulted in [[WarGod Huitzilo]][[ThePowerOfTheSun pochtli]], who winds up killing the others to defend her.
144* The blind king Dhritrashtra from the Literature/{{Mahabharata}} had 100 sons and a daughter from his wife Ghandhari (made possible by semi-artificial means), plus another son conceived with a maid, 102 children in total. All but the latter get themselves killed in a [[SuccessionCrisis bloody war of succession]] after cheating their cousin out of the throne.
145* Myth/CelticMythology: Queen Medb and her husband Ailill had seven sons and one daughter.
146* The Chinese folk tale "The Ten Brothers" features ten brothers, each with a unique power. The oldest can see to the horizon, the second can hear sounds from miles away, and so on.
147* In Myth/NorseMythology, Odin has a large number of kids, though he's still way behind Zeus. The exact number depends on the sources: Snorri lists eight (including Tyr, [[ContinuitySnarl contradicting a story that he records]] where Tyr's father is Hymir), while the poem ''Skáldskaparmál'' has fifteen. At least some of the Valkyries are usually imagined as his daughters.
148** With the exception of Odin, Loki is noted to have more kids than other Norse gods: famously [[BeastOfTheApocalypse Fenrir, Jormungandr]] and [[UndeadAbomination Hel]] from Angboda, but also [[SinsOfOurFathers Na(f)ri and Vali]], the former at least with Sigyn, and [[CoolHorse Sleipnir]] with a giant's stallion ([[GenderBender ye]][[BestialityIsDepraved ah]]).
149[[/folder]]
150
151[[folder:Podcasts]]
152* Harmony from ''Podcast/{{Sequinox}}'' has six older siblings. After the first few, her parents got used to anything that could happen raising a child.
153[[/folder]]
154
155[[folder:Poetry]]
156* Creator/WilliamShakespeare's "Sonnet 6" urges leaving ten children behind after death.
157* There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do.
158[[/folder]]
159
160[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
161* The Hart wrestling family. Wrestler Stu and his wife Helen Hart had 12 children: Smith, Bruce, Keith, Wayne, Dean, Ellie, Georgia, Wrestling/BretHart, Alison, Ross, Diana, and Wrestling/OwenHart. All the boys were wrestlers except for Wayne (who was a referee) and all the girls married wrestlers.
162* The Dudleys of ECW, a family of ({{kayfabe}}) half-brothers who had the same father: Dudley, Dances With, Big Dick, Little Snot, Sign Guy, Chubby, Buh-Buh Ray, D-Von and Spike. Only the last three moved on to WWE.
163* The Wrestling/VonErichFamily: Family patriarch Jack Adkisson, better known as Fritz Von Erich, had six sons. The oldest, Jack Jr., suffered an electric shock in his backyard and fell into a puddle, drowning at age 6. All of the remaining sons (Kevin, David, Kerry, Mike, and Chris) wrestled, using their real given names and the Von Erich surname. Sadly, by the time their father died in 1997, Kevin was the only surviving son.
164* Wrestling/JohnCena just squeaks in, being the second oldest of a family of five brothers.
165* Wrestling/RomanReigns joined this club in a different way in 2020 when his wife gave birth to their second set of twins, giving them five kids in all.
166[[/folder]]
167
168[[folder:Radio]]
169* ''Radio/BleakExpectations'':
170** Pip Bin and Ripely have six children, though we only ever see one, Lilly, as an adult.
171** After they marry, Harry and Pippa have over ''twenty'' children, explained (via the series' usual grasp of logic) as being a result of Victorian Science meaning a woman could conceive and give birth in a rapidly short amount of time.
172** Ripely herself has sixteen older sisters. Her mother suffered DeathByChildbirth, giving birth to hexadecamumplets.
173** The Hardthrashers, Sternbeaters, Whackwallops, Grimpunches and Clampvultures all have five siblings, due to the format of "a new Geoffrey Whitehead character who's a sibling to the last one appears each episode".
174* One of Garrison Keillor's "News from Lake Wobegon" monologues featured the the Lake Wobegon Whippets baseball team: nine brothers all born "nine months and ten minutes apart."
175[[/folder]]
176
177[[folder:Roleplay]]
178* Katheryn, an NPC from ''Roleplay/DawnOfANewAgeOldportBlues'', has seven brothers (originally they were supposed to belong to her father, but a misreading of her bio led to them [[ThrowItIn becoming her siblings]] instead). Competing with them is part of what's driven her to be so cut-throat and perfectionist.
179* In ''Roleplay/DigimonWorldInfamy'', just about any family of Digimon is bound to have quite a few children running around, the relationship between [[spoiler: the PlayerCharacter and his wife]] having resulted in seven children, four girls, and three boys, with no plans to stop anytime soon.
180[[/folder]]
181
182[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
183* The Dragon Blooded TabletopGame/{{Exalted}} of [[TheEmpire the Realm]] are encouraged to have numerous children because of their [[SuperpowerfulGenetics hereditary power]] which is integral to the proper functioning of the state. Combined with their extended lifespans, it's quite possible for ten ''generations'' of the same family to be living under one roof (although their exceptional wealth ensures that it's a big roof).
184* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': The Emperor of Mankind artificially created 20 sons (the Primarchs) out of his own genetic material. If one counts the Sensei as canon, then he had many thousands of natural children on top of that. In addition, all Space Marines and Custodes are technically biologically related to either one of the Primarchs or the Emperor himself due to their bodies being infused with their patron's geneseed, and the Primarchs often refer to their associated Space Marines as their sons.
185[[/folder]]
186
187[[folder:Theatre]]
188* Leaf Coneybear of ''Theatre/TheTwentyFifthAnnualPutnamCountySpellingBee'' has six siblings: Marigold, Brooke, Pinecone, Landscape, Raisin, [[OddNameOut and Paul]].
189* Productions of ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'' will often do this with Major-General Stanley's daughters, as it's the only chance to have a female chorus in the operetta. The script calls for at least four but how many appear in addition to this number is up to the director.
190* ''Theatre/TitusAndronicus'': Titus Andronicus has ''26'' children (25 sons, one daughter). At the start of the play, most are dead, except for five--so the trope still applies (however, [[spoiler: by the end of the play, only eldest son Lucius is still alive]]).
191[[/folder]]
192
193[[folder:Toys]]
194* Briar Light from ''Toys/EverAfterHigh'' has five younger brothers and three younger sisters.
195[[/folder]]
196
197[[folder:Visual Novels]]
198* ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'':
199** Byakuya Togami from ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' is one of either sixteen or 108 half-siblings, depending on the source.
200** In ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'', Akane Owari says she has "about seven little brothers and sisters." She isn't entirely sure about the number, since every time she gets a new stepparent, they bring along several kids. Because Akane has such a large family, she has to work multiple part-time jobs (some of which are fairly questionable) to support the kids.
201* In ''VisualNovel/HighwayBlossoms'', Marina is the middle child of nine children. She has two younger brothers, two more younger sisters, three older brothers, and one older sister.
202* This is common in ''VisualNovel/LongLiveTheQueen'', since having an heir is considered mandatory for anyone in the nobility in order to avoid problems with succession. Nearly all of the characters have at least one sibling and some have many more; one noble is shown to have six children by two different fathers. The player character, Elodie, is one of the only characters in the entire game to not have any siblings at all, which is particularly unusual since not only is her title obviously an important one, but Elodie's father has his own titles that Elodie can't inherit since her being in line for the throne takes priority.
203[[/folder]]
204
205[[folder:Web Animation]]
206* According to the [[AllThereInTheManual character profiles on the Season 3 DVD]], Caboose from ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' comes from a family of seventeen siblings. Dialogue in ''[[WebAnimation/RedVsBlueTheRecollection Reconstruction]]'' would suggest they're all girls.
207* In ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', Jaune Arc has seven sisters, one of which is met in Volume 6.
208[[/folder]]
209
210[[folder:Web Comics]]
211* Fawn from ''Webcomic/{{Bardsworth}}'' has ''thirty'' sisters due to the way that fairies reproduce.
212* Seventeen from ''Webcomic/CampWeedonwantcha'' had [[MeaningfulName sixteen siblings]] [[spoiler: that abandoned her at the camp when she wouldn't adapt to [[HillbillyMoonshiner the family moonshine business]].]]
213* Jyrras in ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'' has six older sisters and one younger sibling. When the sisters are introduced, their father has a hard time getting their names right.
214* In ''Webcomic/DocRat'', the title character has [[http://www.docrat.com.au/default.asp?id=strip&thisItem=973 eight children, twenty-four grandchildren, and fifty-one great-grandchildren.]]
215** [[http://www.docrat.com.au/default.asp?id=strip&thisItem=976 Mary Scamper has six children.]]
216** [[http://docrat.com.au/default.asp?id=strip&thisItem=1244 5,000]].
217** [[http://www.docrat.com.au/default.asp?id=strip&thisItem=1160 52,000 and a new load on the way.]]
218** [[http://docrat.com.au/default.asp?id=strip&thisItem=1242 the tragic side: rabbits and rats have lots of kids, and they get eaten--legally--by carnivores]]. [[http://www.docrat.com.au/default.asp?id=strip&thisItem=1250 Ben has only one sibling living.]]
219* In ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'', this is pretty much considered the duty of proper noblewoman.
220** It's [[LampshadeHanging acknowledged in-universe]] that Zala'ess Vel'Sharen takes the prize. Zala's sister Sillice refers to her children, grandchildren, [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld etc.]] as "an army of your womb", and later on Zala marches with her family, which are said to be ''500 strong.''[[note]]It's implied that some of those are unrelated retainers and servants, but still...[[/note]]
221** Sara'hilana Balvhakara describes herself as [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?id=1726 "The Matriarch's Eighteenth Daughter."]]
222** Ash'waren has so many children that when told that her daughter Faen is back, she only replies [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7618 "who?"]] having forgotten [[ParentalNeglect which one she was]] until reminded of the year of her birth. Ash'waren later says that she has [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8403 more daughters than anyone else living,]] and she's probably not exaggerating. Contrast with Diva'ratrika, who's roughly the same age and known to have only six (surviving) children in approximately 1,000 years.
223* ''[[https://waitingforthet.tumblr.com/tagged/Space%20Guy The Further Adventures of Astro Astrolovich, Space Guy]]'': Astro has ''forty-three'' kids (implied to be from multiple different partners). When questioned about it, he simply says "What can I say? [[LovableSexManiac I love love]] and have a latex allergy." [[GoodParents He seems to have positive, wholesome relationships with all of them to boot]], and claims that he ''never'' mixes up ''any'' of their names (a statement that [[ItMakesSenseInContext is accepted as proof of his mental acuity by a giant brain alien]]).
224* In ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'', Fido's eventual mouse HeadPet, Spo, [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2009/02/23/their-naming-conventions-had-a-cover-charge/ implied he had a lot of siblings]] this way.
225-->'''Fido:''' I think "Spo" is only almost a name.\
226'''Spo:''' Hey, when you family is as big as mine it gets hard to come up with something original for everyone.\
227'''Fido:''' How big is your family, anyway?\
228'''Spo:''' Let's put it this way: [[AlternativeNumberSystem my next younger brother's name is "Spp"]].
229* ''Webcomic/HowToBeAWerewolf'': Marin had at least 8 siblings, to the point where the author comments that "[she] has too many siblings for me to give them all names" though she does confirm that all of Marin's siblings names all start with an M. Justified, Marin's family is part of one of the sects of Christianity that encourage having as many children as the woman can physically bear.
230* As a rabbit, [[Webcomic/KevinAndKell Kevin Dewclaw]] has a lot of siblings. This is shown when he greets (the original Danielle) as "Sibling number 37". This has somewhat sadder implications for Kevin, as he once suggests that since he's one of (at least) 38 siblings, his parents don't care for him as much, and mainly focus on what makes him undesirable to rabbit society (his lack of fear and [[MalignedMixedMarriage marrying a predator]]).
231* Lasser of ''Webcomic/NothingSpecial'' states he has ''87 brothers'' within his royal family. He's more then glad he was disowned by his father as he prefers having the broom closet within Mr. Benson's item shop to living at his home since at the least the broom closet is ''his'' room.
232* In Webcomic/{{Realmwalker}} Aegir and Ran have nine daughters. It's not yet been explained if they're nonotuplets or not...
233* In ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'', [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2013/07/01/0495-office-prank/ the raccoon goddess is unfortunately unable to grant Lily's prayer that the human Sandra will have at least twenty children.]]
234* In ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}},'' the [=DeSanto=] family apparently has a lot of children (apparently all girls), of whom three--[[CloudCuckooLander Robin]], [[EthicalSlut Roz]] and [[BigLittleBrother Riley]]--are known. Robin is either unwilling or unable to say how many there are in total.
235* The Buckinghams of ''Webcomic/ShotgunShuffle'' have seven daughters, of which the protagonist is the second youngest. This causes some friction with her roommate; Ellie doesn't really understand that you're not supposed to eat someone's ice cream or go into their room without permission, [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace since in a family of her size there's really no such thing as privacy]].
236* In ''WebComic/SomethingPositive,'' Vanessa apparently has [[http://somethingpositive.net/sp04022013.shtml five]] [[http://somethingpositive.net/sp04032013.shtml full siblings]] (all of whom are dysfunctional in some way), and some number of half-siblings--even she isn't sure just how many.
237-->'''Davan:''' Why are there so many kids in your family?!\
238'''Vanessa:''' Because trouble arrives in bunches?
239* Renynir and Mikkel in ''WebComic/StandStillStaySilent''. Reynir is the youngest of five; Mikkel has five younger siblings in addition to being a twin.
240* Jinx of ''Webcomic/TheWhiteboard'' spends so much time at Doc's shop because he has [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1345.html eight sisters]], and he's the middle child.
241* ''Webcomic/TwiceTheTriplets'' is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: ''Six'' sisters who are two sets of triplets.

245* ''Literature/ChakonaSpace'':
246** It gives us the Goldfur[=/=]Forestwalker household. 16 cubs, with another on the way.
247** Goldfur fathered 2 (Malena, Lupu), Garrek x Goldfur 2x, Garrek x Malena (Triplets!), Midnight x Forest (Twins), Forest x Midnight, Boyce x Midnight, Boyce x Forest, Kris x Katrina, Kris x Leanna, Leanna x Katrina. Since Goldendale is still living with Goldie and Forest: Dale x Lupu. (Dale x Swiftwalk on the way.) As many of the cubs don't share more than a single parent, and a few don't share any. But Goldfur and Forest are siblings, and Forest is mated to Leanna, Kris and Trina. And, thanks to a TeleporterAccident, Dale is now Goldfur's accidental twin sister.
248** Neal Foster's 2 different sets of adopted cubs. (With 6 more on the way with his companions / mates, all of which he treats as if he fathered them himself.
249* In ''Literature/MommySleepsInTheBasement'', Paisley is the youngest of eleven children. She had another sibling who died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and her stepmother is expecting another baby.
250* The Bright family of ''Website/SCPFoundation'' has six children: three sons, two daughters, and [[spoiler:a sixth sibling who was {{Unpersoned}} after becoming the new iteration of Nobody]]. They aren't exactly [[BigScrewedUpFamily portrayed in a positive light.]]
251* ''Literature/ThaliasMusings'':
252** Thalia and her eight sisters make up the Nine Muses.
253** Apollo's son and daughter-in-law, Asclepius and Epione, have nine children.
254** At the end of Volume One, [[spoiler:Calliope gives birth to the Corybantes, identical septuplet brothers.]]

258* The noble de Rolo family of ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' had seven children, consisting of four boys and three girls. All but one--player character Percy, the third-eldest--were killed before the story began. [[spoiler:His younger sister Cassandra is later revealed to be alive as well.]]
259* The ParodyCommercial "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRuNxHqwazs Powerthirst]]" promises that anyone who drinks it will have 400 babies.
