spawners
Fish releasing eggs
Spawners are creatures that produce offspring, particularly fish or other aquatic animals that release eggs: The salmon spawners return to their birthplace to reproduce.
In video games, especially Minecraft, spawners are blocks or devices that generate enemies or creatures at set intervals: We found a zombie spawner in the dungeon.
The gaming sense has become dominant in casual usage.
