spawner

Fish releasing eggs

A spawner is something that spawns—produces offspring or generates new instances.

In gaming, a spawner is a mechanism or location that continuously generates enemies, items, or resources: We need to destroy the zombie spawner.

In fishing and wildlife contexts, a spawner is a fish or animal ready to spawn: The river's salmon spawners are protected during breeding season.
