alt title(s): Alien Impregnation
Face Full Of Alien Wing Wong
|
A creature reproduces by impregnating another species. This can be a very literal pregnancy, like that in the misogyny-and-boobs vehicle Species II (and thus justification for Mars Needs Women, among other things), or it could be the implantation of a parasitic egg or larva into the body of a host of either gender, possibly by Naughty Tentacles.
The name and page image came from this strip from the webcomic VG Cats.
May very well lead to a Chest Burster.
Compare Orifice Invasion. See Anal Probing and Boldly Coming for more alien on human action.

Anime and Manga
- Berserk, being a series where monster-on-human rape happens on occasion, has not shied away from this trope. The Trolls that Guts and crew encounter in the Qliphoth reproduce by impregnating captured women. The births kill the mothers in horrific fashion as the new troll rips its way rather gorily out of the mother's belly.
- HUMANOID Szayel Aporro Grantz does this in Bleach, thanks to his Naughty Tentacles. He impregnates the victim with himself, being "reborn" fully grown upon death *
Although he states he grew inside of the womb of the woman he used it on, it's unknown whether it has to be a woman or it can just grow in some other organ in a man's body. Or for that matter which is worse . Believe it or not, that's not the most squicky part of this scene or its aftermath.
- The diclonii from Elfen Lied (who are otherwise sterile, with one exception) 'reproduce' by infecting humans they encounter with a virus containing the genomic information of diclonii. Although it has no overt effect on its victim, the virus alters its reproductive cells, resulting in that every child born of an infected parent, regardless of whether the infected was male or female, will be a diclonius.
- Oddly, when they infect human hosts, they stick their invisible 'vector' inside the head of their victim. They're supposed to be messing with the pineal gland, which actually had to do with sleep-cycle regulation, but which New Age types believed to be involved in psychic powers.
- The chimera ant king in Hunterx Hunter is supposed to mate with the female of another species, turning her into a chimera queen ant somehow (or making her give birth to one, the manga simply mentions it'd "create" a queen). After the death of the former queen (the King's mother), chimera ant generals also gain this ability (becoming lesser "kings").
- The same manga also featured a character who had a colony of leeches living in his tongue (which looked like a turtle cloaca, for extra gross-out points). The leeches burrowed into the victim's wounds and laid their eggs in the bladder, hatching a few days later and evacuating through the urethra. The pain is so agonizing it kills the victim.
- One breed of mushi in Mushishi has the ability to enter a soon-to-be-pregnant woman and take over the body of her unborn fetus. The "child" that's born months later resembles a slime-like creature that slips under the floorboards of the parent's house. It begins spawning humanlike offspring that the parents unwittingly take care of. These "copies" age much more quickly than a human child, and once enough of them have been born, they enter the next phase of their reproductive cycle, wherein they 'die' and scatter their seeds. (These mushi children also possess human intelligence, making them far more dangerous than other forms of mushi, as Ginko, the title character found out.)
- Subverted in Tekkaman Blade where quite apparently there was a lack of tentacle rape of the female Tekkaman which makes it notable of a lack of Rule Thirty Four.
- Yu-Gi-Oh: Parasite Paracide could be considered to fit this in the anime, at least Joey's Panther Warrior has gotten infected with it, leading to some parasite wing wong coming out of its mouth.
- Rental Magica has a variety of Cordyceps (see Real Life section) which grows on humans in early stage of development. It's rare, so its cultivators contract suitable people as hosts (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 necromancy and on the last stage of a life cycle destroys magical barriers—including ones preventing its detection.
- Saika from Durarara's means of taking over people involves implanting the soul of one of it's "children" in the cut it creates.
Comic Books
- X-Men has an evil alien race called the Brood that fits this trope. They are basically very large insectoids whose queens lay their eggs in sentient beings. The Brood embryos not only transform their victims into Brood, but they also absorb their host's abilities. Thus, if a host has super-powers, that Brood will have them. The X-Men only avoided this fate by freeing the Acanti, a race of Space Whales enslaved by the Brood, whose shaman magically killed the embryos growing inside them in gratitude. It was too late to save Professor Xavier, but that's when having an alien girlfriend who owns a cloning tank comes in handy, as well as having enough psychic powers to transfer your mind into the clone.
- A throwaway line in Buffy Season Eight indicates that a slayer who'd been impersonating Buffy had a magical version of this implanted in her by a creepy fairy.
- Hell was this trope for Anton Arcane in Swamp Thing.
- A Future Shock (I think) in 2000 AD had a drunk guy narrating his woes to a barkeeper. Apparently a super-space-uber-wasp turned up at his office one day to tell him that he'd been selected as 'brood parent' for the wasp's eggs. The wasp also explains that the eggs are implanted through(!) the skull, and the larvae would eat their way out later, and would he mind holding still for a few seconds. The guy objects, and runs for it; uber-wasp chases. 30 or so panels of chase through an office block later, the wasp catches him after he jumps off the roof. End of flashback. The reason that he's in the bar is that he's trying to kill the eggs with elevated blood-alcohol before they hatch...
- At least it was polite...
- The Grant Morrison comic The Filth plays with this trope through the character of a Pornomancer called "Tex Porneau". Porneau uses the black semen(!) of Dutch posthuman pornstar(!) Anders Klimaxx(!) to create giant magical flying death-sperm(!) which are unleashed to fatally attack any creature with a uterus.
- One story in an issue of the Futurama comic had Captain Zap Brannigan really enjoying being treated like a deity by a tribe of insect-like aliens. They catered to his every whim and fed him constantly, leading to a huge weight gain. It turned out he had been pumped full of their larvae and was acting as a living incubator. In the end, the crew of the Planet Express Ship managed to rescue him and extract the larvae, which looked like brine shrimp. Bender made a stew out of them and served it as dinner. Only Dr. Zoidberg was willing to eat it.
Film
Literature
- In Jo Clayton'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.
- The Wraeththu, from Storm Constantine's eponymous series, reproduce by injecting their blood on a human male, who then transforms into one of the androgynous anemone-penised mutants. Optionally, they can just have "relations" with a human being...but in that case, their "secretions" would prove fatal to the human.
- The lubbocks in Diana Wynne Jones' House of Many Ways reproduce by laying their eggs in human hosts. Males infected this way simply die when the eggs hatch, but females give birth to purple-eyed Always Chaotic Evil creatures called lubbockin. As it turns out, the mysterious disease infecting the hero's uncle is that he's been attacked and "impregnated" by a lubbock.
- In Stephen King's Dreamcatcher, exposure to byrus, a moss-like alien substance, occasionally causes humans to be impregnated with a serpent-like creature called a byrum. It spends a few days or hours in the victim's intestine, growing and eating the poor victim from the inside, after which it makes its exit through the anal orifice, killing the host in the process. Side-effects of having a byrum growing inside you includes a bulging, pregnant-looking abdomen, frequent chemical-smelling flatulence, and telepathic abilities.
- HP Lovecraft played with this:
- Implied in The Dunwich Horror, in which the invisible monster terrorizing the town and Wilbur Whateley turn out to be the sons of Lavinia Whateley and Yog-Sothoth.
- In The Shadow Over Innsmouth, the "Third Oath of Dagon" requires someone who swears it to marry and have children with a Deep One fishman. The kids start out human, but slowly turn into fishmen themselves as they age. However, some citizens just swore the First and some the Second Oath. The Third Oath was reserved for the people who wanted most in return, and were resistant enough to Squick. Zadok Allen mentioned that he had taken the First and Second Oath, but wouldn't take the Third even if they killed him. Considering that he had already lived decades like that, it doesn't seem that the Third Oath was compulsory.
- It should be noted this story was adapted for the screen as the film "Dagon", which is the name of an entirely different Lovecraft work. (Interestingly enough, the "damned village" in the film is in Spain and renamed Imboca, which loosely translated means "In mouth", but I digress.)
- Ixtl from Voyage Of The Space Beagle reproduced that way. A female womb may have suited its eggs, but since this was an All Male Crew, it had to settle for the male intestines.
- A short story by Robert Sheckley features a race where the females implant the eggs inside males during sex (otherwise completely human), forcing them to spend 99% of the time in hibernation while the kids develop. Not surprisingly, the females have to travel around the universe looking for suitable hosts - their own males all ran away.
- Bloodchild, a short story by Octavia Butler: 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 symbiotic; the aliens cherish the human families from whom they select their hosts.
- One of the "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" is of a girl with an inexplicable red spot on her face, that grows bigger and bigger... and explodes with spiders.
- Anne Mc Caffrey wrote a short story called "Babes in the woods." for her collection, Get of the Unicorn. The gist of the story is a small town doctor notices that a large number of his male patients are having odd symptoms like nausea, weight gain and unusual cravings. The men have nothing in common but visiting a "house of ill-repute". After running ever test he could think of the doctor find out the men are pregnant and that the "ladies" have vanished along with the house they were in. It was done with very little horror.....given the subject matter....
Live Action TV
Tabletop Games
- One of the creepier monsters of the Creatures section of the Urban Arcana setting for D20 Modern is the Roach Thrall. Only thing nastier than seeing one shed its human skin to take on its true giant cockroach form is the way these things reproduce — they use the sexual organs of their human hosts to implant their eggs into a human, and when the eggs hatch, the new roach thrall eats the victim's brains and internal organs while they're asleep, then takes over the body of its new host and blends into human society until such time as its own eggs are grown and it's time to seek out a new host to implant the eggs into.
- Mind Flayers from Dungeons And Dragons take this a step further: in addition to requiring humanoids to be implanted by Mind Flayer larvae in order to reproduce, they also need to eat brains (between 1 a week and 1 a month per flayer. They only need the latter to survive and be quite safe from starvation, but the Illithids are jerks, so they prefer the former.)
- It's interesting how only humans, not other "player character races", are suitable for making true illithids. Attempts to transform other humanoids or other creatures usually fails fatally, or the creature becomes something only sorta illitha-like.
- Not quite so: Any human-sized creature is a suitable host, including orcs and elves. Most illithids are presumably created with dark elves, the illithids' underground rivals.
- Depends on the source. The third edition Fiend Folio says that only humans can become true illithids, providing the half-illithid template for what happens if they use other humanoids. A flaw in the ceremorphosis process produces an illithid who retains the host's appearance but must still eats brains. Since they lack tentacles, they must do this the hard way...
- Illithid reproduction is a little more complicated than that... adult illithids actually reproduce asexually, laying a sac of eggs in a communal pool that hatch into tentacle-faced "tadpoles"; the tadpoles are then implanted into the brains of humanoid slaves through the ear, where they devour the victim's brain, thereby gaining sentience, and slowly grow "into" the victim's body, this chimera becoming a "normal" illithid. This process is called ceremorphosis. Aside from Medium humanoid (humans, dwarves, elves etc) they can grow in ropers (carnivorous "stalagmites") as urophions, basically ropers with a taste for brains, and get generally screwed over. Illithid tadpoles that aren't implanted into brains instead grow into dragon-sized slugs (they're sort-of-amphibians, thus neoteny is an option), and if one of these eats a sentient's brain, it too gains sentience and becomes a creature called a "neothelid" which are considered abominations by illithids. How the first proto-illithids became humanoid illithids in the first place is anyone's guess. Random parasitism on animals crossing their water?
- Note how many retcons were done. Astromundi Cluster has a suspected illithid homeworld, and locals thought illithids were descendants of warped humans (though maybe it's Imperial and illithid propaganda). The Monstrous Manual has a "psionic flayer" with a beaked mouth, "considered the only true illithids by some (including themselves)" ©
2nd ed. Monstrous Manual , suggesting that mindflayers may be the result of magical hybridisation or something like. In The Illithiad both were made into one, given ceremorphosis and related issues. The Far Realm was gradually shoehorned in starting from The Gates of Firestorm Peak
- In 3rd ed. the first illithids were actually a group of human planar travelers who accidentally passed through the Far Realm. They were transformed into adult mind flayers during the trip. Neothelids aren't the original species, but rather its future — they only stay illithids by tying their offspring to uncorrupted examples of their original humanoid forms. This sort of explains why they consider neothelids abominations. 3.5 warped this further, with mind flayers coming from the future.
- The Slaad implant their eggs in unfortunate victims, killing them if they manage to hatch, driving them crazy beforehand.
- In Forgotten Realms, ancient Phaerimm, aka "thornbacks" aka "spell grubs". Spell-hurling, very resistant to magic (eating it, in fact), mentally controlling everything they meet up to and including mindflayers, laying eggs into humanoid bodies. One even complimented a prospective host:
phaerimm: Come along quietly, and you will live.
Aubric: I doubt it.
phaerimm: Do not. I have a fondness for you brave ones. You hatch strong larvae.
- Morkoth (kraknyth), aquatic vaguely cephalopodic sentient creature that lays egg in living victims. Even morkoth mages gives "pregnant" female a wide berth and clutches a weapon when in Under Fallen Stars; process is depicted in details. It ends with magical healing of wound ovipositor left, but by this time the hosts have reason not to be very happy about this.
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.
- Dungeons And Dragons also has a monster called the Vargouille, which looks like a ghoulish, undead, humanoid head with leathery wings for ears and jagged teeth. This monster reproduces by paralyzing and then 'kissing' a victim, which causes a curse that slowly makes the victim's hair fall out, followed by their ears turning into wings, then they slowly lose ability points, until finally the head takes flight and simply removes itself from the body as another Vargouille.
- Vargouilles are based on several mythological monsters (most notably the South American chonchon and the Malay and Filipino penanggalan and manananggal), all of which have had similar habits attributed to them. Meaning that this trope may be Older Than Dirt.
- Xill are four-armed quasi-humanoid extraplanar creatures with a special ability, Implant. The xill grapple and pin an opponent then paralyze them by biting. Then, they implant eggs. The larvae will eat their way out if not removed. Surgically removing them will be nearly as traumatic.
- Ravenloft, naturally, jumps on this trope's bandwagon, with red widows (shapeshifting giant spider/redheads who seduce human male egg-hosts), death's head trees (implanted seeds in lieu of eggs), and sea spawn (which combine this trope with Body Snatcher). Not to mention the Gentleman Caller, an incubus who's a lot handsomer than usual for this trope, yet shares the same agenda of knocking up humans ( or rather, Vistani) so they'll birth his demonic spawn.
- The Genestealers from Warhammer 40K have a slightly more insidious method: They implant their DNA into the victim, in a manner similar to Species. This doesn't result in the conventional hybrid offspring, instead acting more like The Corruption: the victim is compelled to love and adore the infecting Genestealer (also known as the Genestealer Patriarch or Broodlord)... and to spread the infection. This not only means luring new victims to the Genestealer for implantation, but also to seek out humans of the appropriate sex and breed with them. All of the children produced with at least one tainted parent are essentially Genestealer hybrids, which grow more human looking up to the 4th generation- which then produces pure Genestealers with anyone they breed with. This eventually leads to the formation of an entire cult of hybrids that seek to ensure that the planet they're on loses the upcoming Bug War they're inevitably going to call down on their heads. Making it even more insidious is that the cultists often know full well that they're next on the menu. Shades of Village Of The Damned. Especially because the psychic web of a Hybrid Cult means that each person truly loves and adores even the most bestial-looking of their "family".
- This troper would redirect you to the above-mentioned short story titled "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" by a certain H.P. Lovecraft that this idea also seems to mimic. Since the details as it relates to this are unexplained above: essentially, an entire village in the Northeast United States is breeding with an ancient underwater Elder God (and spawning hybrid offspring) attempting to bring down who-knows-what kind of calamity upon the planet. (The 'hybrid offspring' thing is beyond our human comprehension to understand why or how it works.)
- There's a Magic: The Gathering card for everything: Spawnwrithe.
- Nearly half of the various creature species in the GURPS sourcebook Creatures of the Night need humans as a component in their reproductive cycle in one way or another.
- Changeling The Lost: I bet you think there's some entry on a particularly nasty hobgoblin here, huh? Nope. This is why the True Fae actually abduct changelings. See, once a changeling's connection to the Wyrd reaches its highest level, their Clarity manages to drop at an exponential rate — mainly because whenever they dream, they remember Faerie perfectly, which means they have a trigger condition every time they go to sleep. And when a changeling hits Wyrd 10 and Clarity 0... they become one of the True Fae.
Video Games
- Darkseed starts the game by implanting an alien embryo into your skull (seen here). You have 3 days in-game to get it fixed or it will hatch and herald the alien invasion. Fun.
- The Excuse Plot of the Duke Nukem game series has one definite point, which is that the alien invaders need human women's uteruses to serve as breeding machines for their species. The result, of course, is that Duke frequently stumbles on breeding pods: naked, writhing, moaning women wrapped in vine-like cocoons begging Duke to kill them.
- It's all a very, very obvious Shout Out to Aliens; episode 4 of the Plutonium Pack (or Platinum Edition) even features aliens that look like Xenomorphs. Also, there are aliens similar to facehuggers that will jump on the player character (thought they only drain his health, not infect him with a chestburster.)
- Las Plagas in Resident Evil 4 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 method of exit has been well-documented, but their method of entry seems to have varied: first as spores, then later via injection.
- There's also the parasites that the mutated One Winged Angel William Birkin implants into people (Ben in Leon's 1st scenario, and Chief Irons 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.
- 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... that seems to come from a junction between his legs.
- The only way the Chimera in Resistance can gain new numbers is to more or less gather up infected or dead humans and warp them into foot soldiers.
- Look no further than the Flood. And you get to see it happen in real time in the third game.
- In Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri, the Mindworms are a bunch of worms that gather up in huge boils, stun their victims with psychically-induced fear, and place their ravenous larvae on their skulls. Needless to say, the resulting death is Horrible, with capital H.
- The plot of the first and third Silent Hill games revolve around this trope being implemented by an Eldritch Abomination instead of aliens, although it is no more pleasant to the host.
- In The Sims 2, human sims can be impregnated by aliens if they use the telescope during the wee hours of the night. Even males can be impregnated. In fact, ONLY males can be impregnated this way.
- The Zerg in Star Craft are already partly based on Aliens, so naturally they get in on the act with the Queen unit, which has a special ability to fire a spore at a ground unit, which destroys the unit when two small Zerg hatchlings pop out of it. Very effective when used on a siege tank's pilot in the middle of other siege tanks.
- Chryssalids in X-COM. Very fast acting, too, as all it takes is one bite from them and then a few non-fiery shots to hatch. Even the 'zombies' that are unhatched Chryssalids can kill unarmored units with ease. Thankfully, they're a terrorist unit for the mid-game Snakemen, so they don't show up very often and you should have sufficient tech when you do meet them. Still doesn't prevent them from being a great source of Paranoia Fuel, which becomes unleaded in a hurry during Snakemen terror missions where they can infect Innocent Bystanders and increase their ranks with you being unable to do a thing about it.
- The rapid development is Hand Waved as a characteristic of the species. However, when a zombie is a destroyed, the egg inside supposedly hatches early, resulting in... a full grown Chryssalid. This is further Hand Waved by stating that the resulting "early birth" Chryssalid is substantially weaker than a normal Chryssalid, but use of the stat-scanning device reveals that they are... a full grown Chryssalid.
- Not quite. On Beginner, the "early birth" Chryssalid has even better stats (the core stats) than the starting Chryssalids (which are modified by difficulty level). Core stats are generally worse than the modified stats on higher difficulty levels.
- The Tentaculat replace the Chryssalids in X-Com: Terror from the Deep. They're limited to underwater missions but that's where practically the entire game is. They're worse than the Chryssalids in that, since they can swim, they can come at you from any direction. There's one bright spot though, there are no underwater Terror Missions, so they'll never have any Innocent Bystanders to multiply with.
- Slightly different are the Brainsuckers from X-Com: Apocalypse. They're small and have a very short lifespan, but have the nasty habit of leaping at an unsuspecting agent's face and injecting them with alien microbes which take over the host's body.
- According to another wiki devoted to the Monster Hunter games, the Khezu reproduces this way, by paralyzing another creature and injecting 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.
- Many of the bad ends of the rather disturbing H-game Inyouchuu and its sequels involve the female characters being enslaved and used by the villainous monsters to give birth to more monsters... Or So I Heard.
- While their isn't any evidence the Headcrabs of the Half Life series use their hosts for reproduction, they fit this trope almost entirely otherwise, commandeering the nervous system of a viable host and using it for their own purposes, with the whole experience being very, very unpleasant for the host.
- In Aliens vs. Predator 2, a facehugger jumping on your face quite literally shows this. The entire screen become the alien's underside with a very phallic tube swinging around in front of your face, implied to be going in your mouth (which can't be seen, since it's an FPS). It's instant-death, and after you see the "wing wong," the game cuts to your body laying on the floor, where you see your chest swell up, your body convulse, and an alien pops out.
Web Comics
- In an early Sluggy Freelance 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!"
- Later, another member of Aylee's species takes a humanoid form so as to impregnate human females with new drones (it's implied that it's consensual, though even Aylee's disgusted).
- In Fans, Rumy is impregnated (along with a host of other artists) in a slightly more benign manner: The Energy Beings make her head swell up for a few hours before a floating, glowy fetus emerges.
- In VG Cats, they was a comic dedicated to the painful realisation of Facehugger = Face Full Of Alien Wing Wong.
Web Original
- The Alien in Red vs. Blue impregnates Tucker this way.
- In the Dead Baby Comedy web cartoon Stickman Exodus episode 'Sex Ed,' this trope comes into play with (sketchings of) giant flying sperm, appropriately enough, attacking one of the stick figure protagonists.
- Whateley Universe example: in the story "The Op", the mutant semi-military team known as 'The Grunts' takes on a ruined city where something has invaded. They find a building with a Womb Level and some chambers where women have been given this treatment and are encased in tubes in the process of giving birth to monstrosities. Then things really go to hell. This is Sara if she stopped holding back.
- Unsurprisingly, the SCP Foundation has a couple. In an interesting example, two of them-SCP-562 and SCP-600 are actually rather friendly (although you should never give the latter caffeine-there's a reason he's considered Keter-class.). The former even treats their young's hosts with dignity and respect.
- On the adoptable pet website Valenth, there's a series of creatures called Leupaks, who all produce eggs. Including the males. And they can only have children by implanting them in another creature, which the egg will absorb various traits of, so when the egg hatches (and claws out of your body, Alien-style), it will be a whole different creature, in a way. Oh, and they implant them in your body by using a long, flexible tongue with a claw on the end. Squick much?
Western Animation
- Roger on American Dad impregnated Steve by accident. Strawman conservative father Stan took him to Mexico - "God's blind spot", he called it - to have it aborted. Steve keeps it, but it's transferred to his girlfriend via kissing. The girlfriend, having been raised by Stan's even more conservative rival, thought that was how pregnancy happened anyway, so she never caught on.
- The whole concept behind Ben 10 Alien Force is that kids across America have superpowers because one of their parents was an alien (because it's a kid's show, most tend to be married to each other, natch). The second episode features a kid whose mother was human and whose father was made out of fire. How a bipedal ball of flame manages to impregnate a human woman is anybody's guess.
- Also, the show's Mooks are DNAliens, creepy tentacle creatures who are revealed to be kidnapped human victims who have been taken over by an alien brain that latches onto their face and eats their DNA from the inside out. Rather dark when you consider the heroes kill dozens of these guys each episode, the Big Bad already has hundreds of thousands working for him, and it's stated that once someone is fully corrupted, their human mind is dead.
- Used in Futurama's 2008 movie Beast With A Billion Backs, where a tentacle monster which is what painters misinterpreted as heaven rapes the entire universe via the backs of people's necks.
- This trope was reversed previously in "Kif Gets Knocked Up A Notch". I think the title is pretty self-explanatory.
- In an episode of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius, Jimmy's friend Carl is impregnated (in the butt) by a flying alien Electric Jellyfish. It's "born" by static electric discharge from the behind, but is otherwise fairly harmless.
- A Treehouse of Horror episode has Kang as the father of Maggie.
Marge: (voiceover) I tried to resist, but they applied powerful mind-confusion techniques.
Kang: Look behind you. (She looks, and Kang uses a ray gun to impregnate her) Insemination complete.
Marge: Really? That seemed awfully quick.
Kang: What are you implying?
Other
- The Furry Fandom unfortunately has the C-Snake, a slimy, Pepto-Bismol-colored parasitic reptile/penis combo that switches between forms at its leisure and infects the host in a Naughty Tentacles manner, eating their insides to create more of itself until it's literally the lifeless skin of the victim encasing a mass of C-Snakes... which goes on to infect other hosts through rape. Even creepier, the slime they produce has a simultaneous anesthetic/aphrodisiac effect on the host, effectively forcing the victim to help it obtain a new host and breed. They also apparently leave small parts of the victim's brain intact so that they can use it to temporarily give them their consciousness back if the need arises along with gaining access to any of the memories the victim might have that might help them more effectively fool any new potential victims or gain access to restricted areas. Even other furs are freaked out about them to a large degree, though of course Nightmare Fetishism for them exists in surprisingly large quantities.
- The creator said he based them partially on The Thing, and intended for them to be at least partial High Octane Nightmare Fuel. You forgot to mention that they can cause female hosts to grow a penis. Hosts of any species. And they're telepathic, so they can actually coordinate to take you down.
- Also "the furry fandom" in question is pretty much one person.
Real Life
- Many Face Full Of Alien Wing Wong scenarios are actually inspired by chilling real life examples from the insect world. (Examples involving brood parasitism, larva being injected into the drugged bodies of host organisms, etc.)
- There's more than one urban legend involving the host organism being a human, naturally.
- There is some good news on this front, fortunately. Dracunculiasis has been systematically eradicated in most nations it once was endemic to thanks to better sanitation, as the only vectors for the parasite are microscopic fleas limited to their watery homes and infected humans. Then again, when you're discussing a 2-3 foot long worm that eats its way out of an arm or leg a full year after infection with a sensation that "feels like being stabbed," is untreatable without intensive surgery to dig it out, and can repeatedly infect the same person over the course of a single lifetime, prevention sounds like a wise investment.
- Many viruses, known as bacteriophages, do this on a microscopic level. Some microbiologists in fact theorize that viruses originated as an early form of reproduction some microbes evolved.
- The female of the barnacle species Sacculina carcini undergoes Transformation Trauma unseen in any other species; when it reaches adulthood, it discards its crustacean body, implants its now-amorphous self into the body of a crab, Alien facehugger style, and grows tendrils throughout the body, rendering it infertile and only able to raise the parasite's offspring. Possible Real Life influence for Halo's Flood.
- You forgot the part where if that crab is male it alters its body chemistry so its body has an egg sac.
- Wasps. Some species of wasp and hornet have reproductive cycles straight out of Alien.
Step 1: Locate promising-looking caterpillar, aphid or spider.
Step 2: Paralyse said caterpillar, aphid or spider with hellish venom-injector.
Step 3 (optional): Drag paralysed creature to hellish wasp-lair.
Step 4: Inject eggs directly into paralysed creature with hellish ovipositor.
Step 5: Kick back! Your hellish brood will soon hatch by eating their way out of the paralysed-but-still-conscious creature, so you don't even have to feed 'em!
- Considering that wasps frequently target spiders for Face Full Of Alien Wing Wong goodness, Blackarachnia from Transformers Animated probably shouldn't have turned Wasp into Waspinator...
- Uh, no. Unless waspinator gets a sex change operation, or mysteriously grows ovaries, she's safe.
- It's Waspinator. All bets are off as to what he can't physically do. XD
- Another Cracked article on how animals are evil. And yeah, the Sacculina and a species of wasp are mentioned. The Emerald Jewel Wasp goes above and beyond other wasps in pure sadism. It doesn't just paralyze the poor roach, it turns it into a zombie slave, cuts off its antennae to drink fresh roach blood, leads it back to its burrow, and then goes back to step 4. All to avoid the trouble of physically dragging it back. Good thing the venom it uses to shut off dopamine production in the roach (thus turning it into a "zombie roach") doesn't work on humans, right? Right?
- Some species of wasp and virus are now working together.
- The Cordyceps unilateralis fungus takes control of ant's brains and compels them to climb down and latch onto a low-hanging leaf, where they die. Then the fungus grows out of the ant's head and releases its spores.
- Phorid flies, one of fire-ants' natural South American enemies, inject eggs into the ants' heads, so the ants' heads pop off and act as an incubator for the larva. They have a pheremone that prevents the ants from realizing they are there at all. Another species latches on to the queen and forces the ants to feed her and starve the queen to death using scent language.
- There's a parasitic fluke that spends part of its lifecycle inside a snail. It not only eats part of the snail's brain so it'll crawl up to the tips of leaves, ensuring it'll be consumed and give the fluke a free ride into its snail-eating secondary host; the parasite also burrows into the snail's eyestalks from within and moves its striped body around inside them, so the stalks pulse to attract predators' attention. Flashing a "Come And Eat Me!" message from your victim's head puts a new spin on the Naughty Tentacles trope, doesn't it?
