populators

Those who inhabit

Populators are people or things that populate—that is, fill or inhabit a place, space, or system.

The term appears most often in computing and database contexts, where a populator is a script, tool, or process that fills data structures with content: The test populator generates sample records for the development database.

Outside technical use, populators might refer to settlers or colonizers who fill a geographic area with inhabitants, though this usage is uncommon.
