spawn
Beget many offspring
Spawn originally refers to the eggs of aquatic animals like fish or frogs, or the act of producing such eggs: Salmon return upstream to spawn.
The meaning extends to anything produced in large numbers, often with a sense of rapid or uncontrolled generation: The controversy spawned dozens of lawsuits.
In gaming, spawn means to appear or generate in a game world: Enemies spawn every thirty seconds.
Used disparagingly, spawn suggests offspring as mere products: spawn of Satan.
