spawning
Generating new life
Spawning is the release of eggs or sperm into water by fish, amphibians, and other aquatic creatures: The salmon return upstream for spawning.
Extended to any mass reproduction or generation: The warm water is spawning algae blooms.
In gaming, spawning is when characters or items appear in the game world: Enemies keep spawning in the same spot.
