• Yukie Tezuka in Alive: The Final Evolution was, for reasons that weren't her alien-possession superpower because she only got that a couple of years ago, at least three times older than she looked, and a serial terrible mother. She'd come along and dump a new kid on the half-grown-up ones every so often, but when she appears in the story she's turned into a good mother due to the influence of the alien parasite, and is living with what may just be one of her clutches, five 'children' ranging from nine to nineteen and having nothing in common with one another. These include a shy, bald martial artist with lightning powers, a Wild Child speedster girl in Converse, and a hacker who smokes a lot.
  • According to an omake, some of her children were balding by the time the sylph bought the farm. But that's an omake.
• Barron from Bakugan Battle Brawlers certainly qualifies. He's eager to move out of his parents' house because there's no room left.
• In Berserk, Casca mentioned in her backstory that she was one of six siblings. When you look more deeply into it, her family's situation serves as a deconstruction, as she grew up very poor and her village often suffered from food shortages and death from starvation. As Casca herself mentioned that it was odd that no one in her family starved to death, it begs to question how much longer her family could have survived having to feed eight members, so this might have prompted her parents' decision into selling their youngest girl-child into servitude when a rich noble passes by their village. Of course, her parents' decision is also laced with Fridge Horror, since it turned out that the noble didn't exactly want young Casca as a typical servant.

• In Castle Town Dandelion, the king have 9 children.

• The Chronicles of Rebecca (2020): Rebecca has six siblings, and is the second-oldest after Hannah. Aunt Miranda bemoans that because Aurelia is a single mother, it means she can't take care of all her kids.
• Code Geass:
  • Eight of Lelouch's siblings have parts in the story from minor roles (Guinevere and Carline) to moderate (Odysseus and Clovis) to major (Nunnally, Euphemia, Cornelia and Schneizel). Lelouch was the 11th born and 17th in the line of succession at the time of his mother's death, so he had at least 10 elder siblings at that point, with the possibility of still more being born in the seven years between then and the start of the main story. The exact number of children fathered by Charles Zi Britannia on his 108 wives is never stated, but since Nunnally, Lelouch's full blooded younger sibling, was 87th in line to the throne^note Charles chose the order based on the children's personalities and ability to succeed him, and due to being blind and crippled Nunnally ranked pretty low, which makes the fact that Charles himself made her blind and Nunnally winds up being the Empress at the very end of the series doubly ironic, he may have close to or over 100 children.
  • While it doesn't happen for tragic reasons Shirley in an image spot in side material imagines having nine sons. All of whom, naturally, look like Lelouch.

• Dragon Ball
  • In the original Dragon Ball, Demon King Piccolo had at least 5 named children, Tambourine, Piano, Cymbal, Drum and Piccolo Jr, his reincarnation. And in flashbacks of his initial reign prior to the series, we see a lot more Mooks that resemble the former four, which might all be his sons as well.
  • In Dragon Ball Z, Grand Elder Guru from Planet Namek has 109 children, because when he was younger, Namek suffered a major drought that killed the vast majority of the population. Guru survived, and because Namekians can produce asexually, he spit up eggs to rebuild the population back up.

  • Bert and Joanna have five kids: Eliza, Horace, Edward, Noah and Harry. Six if you count Anne.
  • The Hammonds have eight children: Ella, Gertie, Tommy, Jimmy, George, Hugo, Roderick and Julie-Anna. But they're not the ones who care for them - Anne does.
  • Haggerty grew up with 15 siblings, and was parentified to care for them because her parents couldn't.
• Lucy-May of the Southern Rainbow: Lucy May is one of five siblings (six if you count the deceased sister from the Phyllis Piddington novel it was based on).
• Lyrical Nanoha has the twelve Numbers, all of them are sisters (though only some of them are related biologically). Technically, Subaru and Ginga are also counted as well, since they are the prototypes.
  • The Nakajima family originally just had Subaru and Ginga as the only children. Later, Genya adopts four of the Numbers (Cinque, Dieci, Nove and Wendi), and then Thoma, the first son^note officially, not yet; but Thoma is treated as a family member, anyway. And this family doesn't count the other Numbers sisters in the family (though the Numbers that were adopted still consider the other ones to be their sisters).
  • In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT, all six of the Nakajima sisters are Quint and Genya's biological children (Thoma is nowhere to be found).
• Max and Milia Jenius of Macross have seven natural daughters and adopted another. The only ones who have appeared in the actual anime are Komilia (the oldest, who appeared as an infant/toddler in the original series), Mylene (the youngest, who was one of the protagonists of Macross 7), and Emilia (the fifth daughter, who was featured in The Galaxy's Calling Me!). No news on how many grandchildren they have aside for Mirage.
• In Magi: Labyrinth of Magic, it's justified for royal families to have harems to ensure the birth of male heirs. Not including Hakuei and Hakuryuu who were adopted into their uncle's family after he became emperor, the Kou siblings are ten children in total.
• Hanako from Massugu ni Ikou is a pedigree Kishu who mentions having dozens of half-siblings throughout Japan. She worries that her boyfriend Mametarou is one of them, despite the fact Mametarou is obviously a mutt.
• Degwin Zabi of Mobile Suit Gundam has five children. The second eldest son, Salso, was assassinated by a car bomb before the series started. His third son, Dozle, is the only one who is married with a daughter who becomes the Sole Survivor of the clan after end of the One Year War and is one of the protagonists in Gundam Unicorn.
• Mobile Suit Gundam Wing's Quatre Raberba Winner has 29 sisters. Justified as the sisters are all but stated to be Designer Babies. The novel Frozen Teardrop reveals he has a thirtieth sister (who's actually his clone), Katherine.
• My Roommate is a Cat: Hiroto is the oldest of five siblings, three of whom Subaru had never met before Hiroto took them to his house to see Haru.
• In Nagasarete Airantou Mei-Mei is the yongest of a 23-sibling group, and the only one that isn't a twin or a tripplet. Five of her elder siblings are girls.

• Baku's family in the anime Onegai My Melody: the sibs actually have numbers as names.
• One Piece:
  • All pirates under Whitebeard's command are his adopted sons, and he has over 100 of them. Even pirates from his alliance call him father and he considers him as sons, meaning that he has at least more than 1,000 or 10,000 sons.
  • As far as biological children go, Big Mom has 85 children (46 sons and 39 daughters) with 43 husbands - giving birth once a year from the time she was eighteen to the time she was sixty. Of those 43 births, there was one set of decuplets (ten children at once), one set of quintuplets, two sets of quadruplets, six sets of triplets and eleven sets of twins, totaling sixty-three out of the eighty-five. Plus twenty-two single births. All the rest of her crew and some other residents of Totto Land call her Mama too, regardless of whether they're related or not.
  • Not as extreme as the above examples, but Sanji is revealed to be one of the Vinsmoke family's five children and part of a set of quadruplet brothers, having ran away from them as a child.
• Classic manga/anime example is Osomatsu-kun and its sequel Osomatsu-san, which center around identical sextuplets.
• In Otomen, Juta has nine other siblings, of which he is the eldest. The primary reason of him moonlighting as a manga author is actually to financially support his siblings, since his parents have wilfully decided to go for a world tour all by themselves.
• Pokémon the Series:
  • Brock and his siblings. Brock, himself, his younger brother, Forrest, and the others; Salvadore, Yolanda, Tommy, Cindy, Suzie, Timmy, Billy and Tilly, the latter two being toddler-aged twins.
  • In Japanese, the younger 9 all have number-based names.
  • All of the Officer Jennys and the Nurse Joys that Ash and his friends meet in a region are all sisters from two families.
• Pretty Cure:
  • Nao Midorikawa/Cure March from Smile Pretty Cure! has five younger siblings. Given how other Pretty Cures tend to either be only children or have a maximum of two siblings, this is quite an achievement. Also, a sixth sibling is born in episode 42.
  • Erena Amamiya/Cure Soleil from Star★Twinkle Pretty Cure also has five younger siblings who she often has to look after.
• Kanae Kotonami of Skip Beat! never visits her home because she has ten siblings (some with their own children!) and two sisters-in-law who live under the same roof as her parents. The chaos is too much for her to handle, and she doesn't like her coworkers thinking she grew up poor or unsophisticated. A full roster of everyone living in her parents' house includes: Kanae's older sister (with three children of her own), Kanae's oldest brother (with his wife and two children), Kanae's other older brother (with his wife and their baby), and Kanae's seven younger brothers and sisters.
• Meow from Space☆Dandy has six younger siblings back on his home planet of Betelgeuse.
• Millie Thompson from Trigun has at least three older sisters, three older brothers, and several younger siblings. The actual number of siblings she has is not very clear, particularly in the anime. At one point she proclaims to Wolfwood she has ten brothers and sisters - and as she drops her pudding to hold her fingers up, he mutters, "Lemme guess, you're the youngest", to which she responds with an astonished, "How did you know?!?" But when she writes a letter to her family, she only counts off six siblings before getting into names, and Meryl implies that the named people are her nieces and nephews.
• The Secret Garden (NHK): Susan Sowerby is the mother of twelve children (though the only ones named are Martha and Dickon).
• Ringo in Spellbound! Magical Princess Lil'Pri has seven younger identical brothers named, interestingly enough, after the days of the week. Coincidentally, Ringo is the one that transforms into Snow White.
• Bu-Ling Huang in Tokyo Mew Mew is the oldest of six. In the 2002 anime, they're a set of identical quadruplets with one extra, while in the manga and the 2022 reboot they're fraternal quintuplets.
• At first, Touta Konoe of UQ Holder! seems like an only child, but then he meets a girl named Cutlass that claims to be his sister... It's revealed that they're both clones of Negi and Asuna, the protagonists of Negima! Magister Negi Magi, with Touta being the successful clone and Cutlass the failure. Moreover, Cutlass is identified as "Experiment Number 17", meaning there are at least 16 other clone siblings, and likely a great deal more than that.

• Simple Samosa has a variation. At the end of "Meethi Masi", Samosa gets a visit from his countless number of younger cousins (among them ones named Cutie, Fruity, Pinky, Goldie, Shinky, Lucky, Happy, Harinder...), who—along with his aunt Sweetyhearty—stay the night at his house.

• Lille Skutt in Bamse is a rabbit, and when his childhood is described we are told that he left home early because "rabbits have children often and they have many children"—his parents basically had a new litter, and Lille Skutt was the smallest of septuplets in his litter, so they were running out of space and presumably carrots. (Lille Skutt himself only has one kid, though.)
• The Destine family from ClanDestine. At least eighteen siblings known for sure, and probably quite a few more. The parents are immortal and have been married for roughly eight hundred years, which might have something to do with it.
• DC Comics has the Mother of Champions, a Chinese physicist whose exposure to radiation from a particle accelerator allowed her to conceive and gestate as many as 25 children in three days. These children suffered from Rapid Aging, becoming adults within two days, and were used as disposable super soldiers by the Chinese government. One comic has her standing before a graveyard filled with dozens if not hundreds of her children's bodies.
• DC Comics also has The Bat-Family. Batman sports a notoriously large number of biological and adopted children. Since the New Earth continuity, Batman has had 5+ children, including but not limited to Dick Grayson, Cassandra Cain, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne.
• Disney Kingdoms: In the first issue of Figment, a brief flashback shows that Blair Mercurial/The Dreamfinder has three brothers and two sisters.
• The entire premise of Dynamo5 from Image Comics is that the team is made up of half-siblings, the five superpowered illegitimate children of the deceased (and philandering) superhero, Captain Dynamo. The villainess Synergy also turns out to be another of Captain Dynamo's out-of-wedlock children.
• East of West has the Kingdom of New Orleans, with its monarch John Freeman, having fifteen sons (at one point the King has to ask someone exactly how many sons he has). All named John Freeman, and known by number, though not necessarily in order of birth, since they can kill one another to "rank up."
• Mexikid: The siblings in author Pedro Martín are divided in two groups: the five older siblings (Sal, Leon and Noe, Ruth, and Lila) who were born in Mexico; and the younger four (Hugo, Pedro, Adam, and Alex) who were born in the USA. The author refers to them respectively as "somewhat American" and "somewhat Mexican".
• The "retired" (well, sort of) Asgardian warrior Volstagg and his wife have seven children, two of which are adopted Earth boys whose parents were killed in an accident that Thor was indirectly responsible for. (They at first mistook him for Santa Claus, and he quickly became attached to them.) Well, he claimed to have eighteen children before the adoption, but he's dreadfully prone to overstatements.
• The Ashe family of Princeless has eight kids, with seven daughters and one son. For bonus points, all of the girls have names starting with the letter 'A', and by the time of the story, all seven of them are locked up in towers waiting to be rescued by princes until Adrienne takes matters into her own hands.
• The Snow Cat Prince: Syv has six older brothers.
• Sunny Series: Sunny's friend and later crush Tony Scaccia is the youngest of six kids.

• Dollicious: Ramen, the main character has seven sisters—three older and four younger.

• 9 Chickweed Lane: Uncle Roger lives up to his name via his eleven children, all identical white-blonde twins or triplets. No wonder he occasionally needs to take a weekend for himself to relax and give his Transparent Closet a break.
• In Prickly City, Kevin complains about having to fill out the names of his siblings—there isn't enough paper. And he doesn't know their names.
  I'm a rabbit. My parents were rabbits! Do the math!

• The Twelve Dancing Princesses were all sisters, who in some versions married twelve brothers.
• In some versions of Beauty and the Beast, Beauty has five sisters and six brothers, of whom she is the youngest of all. Most later tellings cut out the brothers, who don't really contribute to the plot, and whittled down the number of sisters.
• The Six Swans is about a girl trying to save her six brothers, who were transformed into swans.
  • A Norwegian variant, The Twelve Wild Ducks, is similar, only with the protagonist trying to save her twelve older brothers who were transformed into ducks.
• Udea in the North African fairy tale "Udea and her Seven Brothers" is the eighth child and only daughter of her parents.

• The Fairy of the Desert in Madame d'Aulnoy's The Yellow Dwarf has eleven sisters.
• The Romanian fairy tale Stan Bolovan features a couple trying to have children, only to be rewarded with one hundred children. The children in this story survive and help defeat a dragon.
• In The Brothers Grimm's The Godfather, the number is not given, however, "A poor man had so many children that he had already asked every one in the world to be godfather, and when still another child was born, no one else was left whom he could invite."

• The Britannian royal family is specifically said to have had 200 members born to Charles and his various wives in The Britannian Succession Crisis of 2017 ATB. By the start of the story over half of them are dead (truly or officially as is the case of the Vi Britannias), and the number is already dropping as the story goes on.
• In the aptly named Fertility, Suzaku and Euphemia have ten children together, and Euphemia is pregnant with an eleventh.

Crossovers

• A Call To Monsters: Elt and his wives have fourteen children, one adoptive and thirteen by blood.
• The Fallen Miracle: Delores and Mariano's marriage was very... fruitful during their time on Earth, their branch of the family outnumbered the others with five kids and three grandkids.

Danganronpa

• Where Talent Goes to Die: Kuro Akasaka is the eldest of six siblings- four sisters and a brother.

DC Super Hero Girls

• In Super Villain Prevention 101, Harley mentions having a hectic family with five siblings.

Discworld

• A.A. Pessimal's "The Importance of Index Cards" suggests the Pessimal family is this way: their children are not so much named as they are indexed, and as AE recounts a sister BC, they've finished the alphabet at least once. This gives AE a unique advantage when dealing with Tshup-Aklathep, the Infernal Star Toad with a Million Young: he's used to head-explodingly huge families.

Disney Animated Canon

• In Nadra's The Lion King (1994) fan theories, Sarabi is born with a twin brother, Aheri, around the same time as her paternal half-siblings, Zira and Jasiri. She also has three younger, maternal half-sisters. What makes this qualify for the trope is that Sarabi has a close familial relationship with all six of her siblings.
  • Interestingly, in a deleted movie concept, Sarabi had at least three sisters, one of which was Nala's mom.
  • In the long fan webcomic The Relatives of the King, Scar and Zira have six children together, eight if you count their stillborn son, Chaka and Kovu, who was adopted.
• What About Witch Queen? amps it up — Hans already has twelve canon brothers, but the fic gives him two extra sisters, making the total number of von Schwalbes fifteen. The oldest, Friedrich, mentions once that for his birthday, he invites nobody but the siblings and their families and they still must use a ballroom.

Fate/stay night

• By the time The Emiya Clan ended, Shirou Emiya had a total of twenty-nine children.

Final Fantasy VII

• Us and Them: Aeris and Sephiroth go on to have seven children (though Aeris once entertained the possibility of having as many as twelve). This leads to Sephiroth literally getting pounced on by his brood every time he comes home from a long mission.
  Aeris: They only mob you like that because they love you and miss you when you're gone.
  Sephiroth: Love hurts...

Godzilla

• Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): San recalls that when he, Ichi and Ni were originally born billions of years ago, they hatched from eggs along with lots of other brothers and sisters, but their other siblings were picked up and eaten by predators which hunted their kind while they were still too young, small and weak to defend themselves.

Harry Potter

• Be Careful, dementor exposure caused an extremely high infant and unborn mortality rate, requiring a lot of pregnancies to compensate. However, a couple of decades before the story starts there was a breakthrough in warding which significantly increased the infant and unborn survival rate, and reproductive patterns have yet to adjust to compensate. As a result, while the adult characters mostly match to Potterverse canon, Harry's generation includes a lot of extra characters.
• In Goldstein, Yehudah, an Orthodox Jew, is the third oldest of seven^note Esti, Sholom, Yehudah, Adina, Brochie, Eliyohu and Yosef, with the youngest born during his first year at Hogwarts. Naturally, a comparison is made to the Weasleys. Terry, from a devout Catholic family, is the eldest of five.
• Harry Potter and The Acts of Betrayal: The final scene, set after a nineteen-year Time Skip, reveals that Harry and Daphne have ten children together, with Daphne pregnant again with twins.
• In Harry Potter and the Elder Sect, Aunt Clara (aka Rowena Ravenclaw) mentions in passing that Salazar Slytherin and Helga Hufflepuff had nineteen children together.
• One Dracken, Two Dracken, Red Dracken, Blue Dracken: Harry wakes up on his sixteenth birthday to find he's become a Dracken, which is a draconic species that typically gives birth in multiples. Being more powerful than most, he ends up with five husbands. By the time their oldest child is sixteen, the poor kid has to remember the names of 41 siblings.
• In Very Big Dursley Family, every couple on Privet Drive has several children, which is implied to be the result of Lily's protective magics. The Dursleys have seven children (eight counting Harry) and Petunia is pregnant with another, while the mother of Dudley's friend Piers is also pregnant with her eighth. It's apparently common enough that no one judges a fourteen-year-old girl for being several months pregnant.

Miraculous Ladybug

• Octuplets: Marinette's first pregnancy has her giving birth to octuplets. While Marinette and Adrien care for the new batch of infants and Tikki coos at them in delight, Plagg points out how weird the situation is and how no one is bothered by how crazy it is. This might also be because Marinette and Adrien's children are a set of baby octopuses.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid

• In Just a Child, Kanna is mentioned to be the youngest of six children, whereas no other Kamui children besides Kanna are mentioned in canon.

My Little Pony

• The Pieces Lie Where They Fell: Vix-Lei, the minotaur, is the oldest of eight.
• Triptych Continuum: From A Mark Of Appeal: As Celestia says, when speaking to Joyous:
  I was the third of seven children. Luna is the fifth.

Naruto

• Son of the Sannin:
  • Mei mentions, while pregnant with her first child, how her parents were constantly pressuring her to settle down and get married since she was the only one of her siblings to have inherited both of their bloodline limits. The narration mentions that they were still pestering her after the birth of her sixth child, at which point she decided "screw it" and had her tubes ligated.
  • Karin is pregnant with her seventh child by the time of the epilogue, and she "jokingly" threatens to castrate her husband once the baby is born.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

• EVA Sessions: Someplace Vast and Dry: In addition to her natural-born biological son Shinji and adopted daughter Misato Katsuragi, Yui also grew Rei and nine other human-Lilithian hybrids ex vivo in artificial wombs using frozen samples of her own ovum and artificial sperm containing Lilithian genetic material, as test specimens for research towards the eventual development of actual Evangelions.
• Evangelion: A New Awakening: By the end of the story, Shinji and Asuka have become immortal. In the epilogue, set several thousands of years after the final battle, they have children in over hundred worlds.
• Epilogue of Evangelion: By the end, Shinji and Asuka have eight children and are expecting their ninth kid.

One Piece

• The Serpent Empress: How many kids does Luffy have via the various Kuja women? He can't count that high! Of course, he's also an Idiot Hero, though the omake following it, which the author notes is mostly canon, claims to be several dozen.^note A second chapter would imply the total, born and not yet born, is seventy-one. This number may be larger if Kalifa isn't counted

Pokémon

• In this Pokémon fanart, a shiny Mareep is sitting in front of a sign that says "I have 1,300 yellow big brothers and sisters" while in the background his/her Trainer is throwing a worn-out bike into the trash can as Talonflame lies on the ground exhausted.^ExplanationIn the Pokémon games, one strategy for finding a shiny Pokémon is to breed and hatch many eggs of that species. Riding around on a bike speeds up egg-hatching time, while Talonflame is a popular “hatching helper” since it can use Fly and has the ability Flame Body, which halves the time needed to hatch eggs.
• In the Family Matters (Nyislandersgirl) series, Virgil and Bianca have nine children: boys Vincent, Joshua, Finn, Upton, Lucas, and Gavin; and girls Eva, Estille, and a third who is yet to be named.
• Sera the Eevee, one of the main characters in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Reflecting Balance has five older siblings, each one being a different Eeveelution.
• Pokémon Reset Bloodlines has one case that is definite, and one case that is all but confirmed. The first case are a family of 7 criminal brothers from Orre known as the 7 criminal brothers, even if one is the White Sheep of the family.
  • It's hinted strongly in fic, still not fully confirmed, that one of them promptly had a lot of kids everywhere. The siblings in question come from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Alola, and other regions, and the first sibling seen is Ash Ketchum, and he was far from the last who appeared. One character suggests that there may hundreds of them. Said Brother didn't care for any of them and left after one night stands.
  • Orange Rose Gathering, a related story that is a Fusion Fic with the Infinity Train: Blossomverse, ups the sibling count to over a thousand. At one point Chloe notes that the father seemed to have taken the title 'Mother of a Thousand Young' as a personal challenge.
• Sylvia the Sylveon: The titular character has seven older siblings.

Power Rangers

• Personality Conflicts: The De Santos family - Blue Zeo Ranger Rocky is the second oldest of eight.

Ranma ½

• Cheaper by the Dozen: Taken to an extreme. Ranma, who has been missing for over twenty years in the fic's backstory, turns out to be living in the Joketsuzoku village with twenty four children, all of them girls who look just like Ranma's cursed form. She explains that this is the result of an attempt to use Nanniichuan to fix the Nyanniichuan curse; it instead trapped her in female form and permanently transformed one of her ovaries into a testicle. As a result, every time she ovulates, she automatically gets pregnant, and so she'll be pregnant every year for the rest of her life — she admits she stayed with the Joketsuzoku, even ending up in a threeway marriage with Shampoo and Mousse, because the Joketsuzoku practice communal childcare, making it the easiest way to survive her endless breeding. She also notes that she can actually get pregnant the normal way, and in fact she's pregnant with a Mousse-fathered child when Ryoga meets her, but it's very hard to do because it requires her lover inseminating her before the sperm constantly leaking from her internal testicle gets to the latest ovum.

RWBY

• The 12 Labors of Pyrrha Nikos is a one-shot about Pyrrha and Jaune having 12 kids — eleven sons and then finally a daughter. As established by the title, it is also a parody based on The Twelve Labors of Heracles, with each pregnancy coinciding with either a battle or Grimm based on the 12 labors.
• Do You Believe in Destiny?: Downplayed; Jaune and Pyrrha have six kids. That isn't that big a family, and Jaune himself is one of eight siblings. But as Yang points out, it's a huge number of pregnancies for Pyrrha to go through in a world with literally zero medical care.
• The Great Temporal Step-Sibling War!: Kids From the Future from eleven different timelines arrive and find their mothers. Most of the kids mention nine siblings; that is, in most timelines Jaune has ten kids (Jaune himself is the youngest of eight; it's apparently a family trait). Then there's the timeline where he married Blake.
  Eventually she came across a group photo, and her mind slowly ground to a halt. Her jaw dropped and slowly worked up and down like a fish out of water. Eventually a thought came together in a manner coherent enough for her to voice it.
  "How Twenty? How?" Coherent but not elegant.
  "You had twins every time, except the two times you had triplets."
  Blake's eyes rolled to the back of her head, and her children barely caught her before she hit the floor.

A Song of Ice and Fire

• Lord Brogar Karstark from Forum of Thrones has a surprisingly large brood for a northern lord, being the father of seven (although only one has played a major role in the story).

Sonic the Hedgehog

• Played with in The Missing Chao. In Chapter 10, Amy proudly exclaims about being married to Sonic and having 25 hoglets in the future. Forest^note an ancient wise Chao that can speak fluently corrects her by providing the fact that Mobians don't give birth to litters.

Star Trek

• Aen'rhien Vailiuri: Jaleh Khoroushi mentions offhand that she was the second of five, and that she and her older brother Ehsan ended up being backup parents.

Star Wars

• By comparison with Star Wars canon, the descendants of the late Jango Fett are downgraded from some three million engineered clones to a "mere" twelve natural-born sons in By the Sea, birthed in a union with an OC woman named Va'yen. Crys, Bly, and Rayshe'a/Fives are known to be dead prior to the start of the story plus three unnamed ones, leaving Kote/Cody, Marekar/Rex, Kix, Wolv/Wolffe, Eyayah/Echo, and Boba as the surviving ones.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

• Same Difference: Downplayed. Yoshi and Shen have five children; Miwa, Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey, the latter four of which are quadruplets.

The Twilight Saga

• In Luminosity, some of the vampires from pre-modern times are mentioned to have come from such families. A few had this even after taking into account infant mortality rates of the time: Afton was the eldest of seven living siblings at the time of his turning (around 100 BCE), while Addy (from the 11th century in what's now Germany) had five older siblings who survived early childhood and a few more who didn't.

Violet Evergarden

• Rita from Flushed Away has about 30 younger brothers and sisters. Given that they're a family of rats, they're probably all from just two or three litters.
• Frozen: Hans has 12 older brothers, and two of them pretended he was invisible. Having been ignored and neglected by them for so long, this is what causes him to snap and seek to rule some place else, hoping to rub it in their faces.
• Hotel Transylvania (2012):
  • Wayne and Wanda have one daughter named Winnie and a bunch of sons (with more on the way), two of them named Wally and Wilbur. In the sequel, Winnie claims to have 300 brothers.
  • Jonathan mentions having six brothers in the first movie. But in the sequel, only one brother and a sister show up at his wedding.

• Becoming Jane: Jane Austen comes from a large family: she has one sister and six brothers. Truth in Television, as the real Jane Austen was indeed the second-youngest of eight children.
• Caddyshack's Danny Noonan is the oldest of nine children.
• A brief scene in Canyon Passage has Logan and Lucy meeting a homesteader family who are moving. The patriarch of the family says they are leaving Fall River because it is getting too crowded there.

• The Charlie Chan films mention seven brothers ^note Henry, Oswald, Lee, Jimmy, Tommy, Eddie, Charlie Jr, and Willie and three sisters ^note Ling, Iris and Frances. This is an in-depth explanation of who's who, and points out a few inconsistencies.
• Cheaper By The Dozen in all its incarnations — it's in the premise. The writers of the original book actually came from a twelve-child family, making it Very Loosely Based on a True Story.
• Dear Lola was about a family of runaways with something like ten kids being raised by one eighteen-year-old.

• Will lies about having a ton of brothers in Good Will Hunting (he's actually an orphan that grew up in abusive foster homes). He's pretty obviously telling Blatant Lies (in a flirtatious way) but its also a chance for him to show off his brain power, by quickly rattling off all their names then immediately doing it again when prompted (so quickly his date can't tell if he gave the same list of names).
• In The Grand Seduction, one of the patients John gets soon after moving to Tickle Head is a woman with multiple children. After listing their various needs, she states that she thinks she needs birth control.
• Played for Drama in the second segment of If These Walls Could Talk; Barbara already has four children and discovers she's pregnant again. She already has a hard enough time managing the daily chaos in her household while also studying at college. Her husband John works long hours as a police officer and money is tight, with John stating he'll have to hold off on retiring and they probably won't be able to pay for their eldest child's out-of-state college in order to accommodate a baby (which greatly upsets Linda when she overhears this). Consequently, Barbara considers getting an abortion but ultimately decides she'll keep the baby.
• We're not sure exactly how many children King Mongkut had in The King and I by his various wives. We're introduced to several of them (including crown-prince Chulalongkorn) during the musical number "March of the Siamese Children". After the number, the King mentions to Anna that someday he will let her meet his other children, produced by wives not currently in his favor. In his own words, "Sixty-seven, I think." By counting the children that approach during the number, and assuming his count of extra children is correct, King Mongkut had approximately 106 children with 5 more expected the next month.
• As noted in the Literature folder, hobbits are prone to this in general, but The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring hangs a lampshade on it at Bilbo's birthday party. He greets one of his guests, who is surrounded by a mob of at least nine children, and asks if they're all hers; upon receiving an affirmative, he makes a startled observation about her productivity. She laughs.
• Ma And Pa Kettle have fifteen children.
• In The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, the children of Link Appleyard and his Mexican wife make up about half of the students in Ranse's schoolroom.

• The Muppet Christmas Carol: Played for Laughs.
  • Rizzo the Rat remarks that he can't understand Scrooge's loneliness due to having grown up with 1,274 siblings.
    Rizzo: [sighs] Rats don't understand these things.
    Gonzo: You were never a lonely child?
    Rizzo: I had twelve hundred and seventy-four brothers and sisters!
    Gonzo: Geesh, rats don't understand these things.
  • The Ghost of Christmas Present announces to Ebenezer Scrooge (played by Michael Caine) that over 1,800 of his brothers have come before him.

This is lampshaded both by their Great-Aunt Adele (who complains about how many children there are, and apparently doesn't notice when extra "children" are slipped into the group in the form of the farm animals) and Mrs. Selma Quickly (who believes their father is only interested in one thing from her, so "no wonder there's so many of you!")
• A Peck on the Cheek: In the prologue, Shyama tells Dileepan that she wants to have 8 kids. Dileepan responds that he doesn't want any kids — not until the war is over and Sri Lanka is a safer place for children. Considering the war wouldn't actually end until nearly 20 years after that scene, Dileepan would've made his wife wait a very long time if he hadn't gotten killed. In the story's present day, Shyama more or less gets her wish by taking care of hundreds of war orphans.
• The Phoenician Scheme: Zsa-Zsa has ten children, nine of them boys still in childhood. The boys live in a dormitory together and are not given individualized personalities, and it seems like Zsa-Zsa barely knows them. Additionally, it's also revealed that not all of the boys are his biological sons, as he also adopted some of them.
• Polish Wedding includes a family of five siblings (four boys and a girl, respectively), plus a sister-in-law with a new baby boy.
• The movie The Prizewinner Of Defiance Ohio includes a brood of 10 kids.

  Coach Doc: You had 12 brothers and sisters?
  Coach Boone: [completely deadpan] 8.
  Coach Doc: Yeah, 12 sounds better.
• A brief visual gag in Ring of Fear shows a bored-looking father sitting in the circus audience surrounding by at least eight children, all of whom are identical twins.
• In Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Little John and his wife Fanny have eight children, the youngest of whom is born about halfway through the movie. Only the oldest, Wulf, ever has his name mentioned, as he's the only one of them with speaking lines.
• Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. It's even in the title. The seven were each named after someone (or something, in one case, but you'll call him "Frank" instead of "Frankincense" if you know what's good for you) from The Bible, each using a consecutive letter of the English alphabet. All are adults — at least physically — and live together.
• Smokey and the Bandit: Cledus and his wife Waynette have at least six children. Bandit asks if they're trying to start another race.
• There are seven children in The Sound of Music's von Trapp family before Maria comes along. One would guess that after the movie ends, she probably gives birth to more, since in real life she added three.
• A Wedding: Muffin's uncle and his wife have nine kids.
• Yours, Mine, and Ours has this at its base. A widower with ten children meets and marries a widow with eight children, merging them into a single family with eighteen children. In the original version at least, by the time number nineteen arrives, the eldest moves out.^note  In reality, Frank Beardsley was the one who had eight children by his late wife, while Helen North was the one who had ten children by her late husband. After marrying, Frank and Helen had another two children together.

• In folklore, this is Aarne-Thompson type 762, otherwise known as "Woman with three hundred and sixty-five children". The stories generally go that a noblewoman is rude to a peasant woman with twins, arguing that the children can't possibly be hers because no one can possibly have two children at the same time, by one husband. The peasant responds that she hopes heaven punishes the noblewoman with as many children as there are days in the year, which leads to her giving birth to 365 children in one day. The children are all baptized, but die by the end of the day.
• In folklore, the seventh son of a seventh son was supposed to have magical powers. So it stands to reason sorcerers might have a large family.

• 7th Heaven is a drama about a pastor, his wife, and their five kids. Then they have twins Sam and David at the start of the third season, bringing the number up to... seven, of course.
• All My Children saw this develop with Dr. Maria Santos's family. First, the viewers were introduced to her sister Julia, who came to stay with her in Pine Valley. Then her brother Mateo also showed up... and then their younger sisters Anita and Rosa joined them.
• Boardwalk Empire:
  • Eli has a stereotypical Irish litter, to the point that one of his political cronies gets their names wrong trying to be avuncular.
  • Margaret is one of an Irish family of five, four daughters and a son.
• The Brady Bunch is about a blended family of her three daughters and his three sons. They later take in the Trope Namer for Cousin Oliver, leading to a total of seven children in the Brady household.
• Brooklyn Nine-Nine mentions that Detective Santiago is the youngest of eight children, and the only girl. Other characters use this to explain her ultra-competitive streak. So far, we've only met one of her brothers, David, played by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
• Call the Midwife: A standard trope as it's set in 1950's and 1960's London. Much is made in the earlier episodes about the lack of contraception available as a tool for family planning, necessitating the presence of a midwifery order of nuns in the area. The pilot episode features a family with 24 children, and until the show is solidly in the 1960's, it's unusual to see a family with fewer than 4-5 of them. This is lampshaded in an episode in series 8, in which a family is in need of both a district nurse for a terminally ill teenager as well as a midwife for her mother. Sister Hilda comes to check on the teenager and is met by a gaggle of small children rushing out the door. She asks the teenage girl how many younger brothers she has, and the girl quips she doesn't know, because "they never slow down long enough for me to count them."
• Carla Tortelli begins Cheers with 4 children from one man. She ends the series with 8 children from three. This is not a spoiler. In an interview, Rhea Perlman described her character as "very fertile".
• Pierce of Community has 32 "ex-stepchildren" from his seven failed marriages.
• The Huxtables from The Cosby Show barely qualify, with five.
• In Cranford, there are Miss Mary Smith's half-siblings. There is five little Smiths and the eldest is barely seven. Mrs. Smith is young and when seen on-screen, she's either chubby or already pregnant again.
• The Vasnetsov family in Daddy's Daughters now stands at five daughters and a newborn son.
• Charlene and Carlene from Designing Women have numerous siblings. The Sugarbakers don't qualify by themselves, but they do have a paternal half-brother named Clayton born in between Julia and Suzanne; the spin-off also establishes that they have an intellectually disabled brother named Jim.
• Doctor Who: In "The Vampires of Venice", alien matriarch Rosanna has 10,000 sons, of whom Francesco is the eldest.
• Eight is Enough had eight siblings: David, Mary, Joanie, Susan, Nancy, Elizabeth, Tommy, and Nicholas. Late in the series a cousin moved in.
• The Fosters has this, largely through fostering/adoption. There's Steph's biological son, Brandon, from a previous marriage; Jesus and Mariana, twins whose mother was a drug user and dealer and their father was never in the picture, and Callie and Jude, half-siblings who ended up in the foster system when their father went to prison for vehicular manslaughter after getting their mother killed while driving drunk. Lena wants a biological child of her own, too, and at one point she remarks that she's the only member of this family that isn't a blood relative of anyone else in the family; said baby would be the sixth. The first attempt at an in vitro pregnancy ended in a miscarriage.
  • Callie gets a bonus one, because upon finding out that Jude's father wasn't actually her biological father as she'd believed for all of her life, she meets her real father — and half-sister. So even without the baby, Callie already has 3 brothers and two sisters.
• Frasier has Daphne, who is one of nine children, and the only girl of the family. Several of her brothers appeared over the course of the show, but even on her wedding day, the group they showed on-screen was not even close to all of them.
• Friends - Joey Tribbiani is the only male out of eight siblings. His sisters Gina, Tina, Dina, Mary-Angela, Mary-Therese, Veronica, and Cookie are revealed in a few episodes that encounter Joey's family.
• Game of Thrones universe:
  • Game of Thrones:
    • Ned Stark has six kids — five legitimate children (three sons and two daughters) and one illegitimate son who, as revealed in the Season 6 finale, is actually his nephew.
    • Oberyn Martell has eight daughters who are all illegitimate (though bastards are no big issue at all in Dorne).
    • Walder Frey has twenty-nine legitimate children by eight wives as well as numerous bastards.
    • In sharp contrast to the Starks and the Baratheons, the Lannisters have several siblings, relatives with cousins and nephews aplenty, and multiple lines to inherit and keep their land and titles. However, Tywin Lannister is obsessed with ensuring the main Lannister line is represented by himself and remains at the top of the succession ladder.
  • House of the Dragon:
    • Despite detesting the idea of motherhood in her youth, Rhaenyra eventually becomes a mother of six children. She also adopts Daemon's two daughters from his second marriage, meaning her household consists of eight children.
    • Also applies to Rhaenyra herself and the other surviving children of King Viserys from a different mother — Aegon, Aemond, Helaena and Daeron (who's not mentioned in the first season but George R. R. Martin invokedhas confirmed his existence).
• Blanche's family from The Golden Girls just barely qualifies. On the series, we meet her younger sister Virginia, her older sister Charmaine, and her gay younger brother Clayton. On the spinoff Golden Palace, viewers meet her mentally impaired older brother Tad, whom she never mentioned to her friends.
  • Rose's family qualifies even more. She was adopted by the Lindstroms, who had eight of their own children.
• Good Luck Charlie has five children, two girls and three boys, all with masculine names (PJ, Teddy, Gabe, Charlie, and Toby).
• In "Lucy Goes to the Hospital", the famous episode of I Love Lucy where Lucy gives birth to Little Ricky, first-time godfather Fred finds himself in the waiting room at the hospital with Mr. Stanley, a man who has six daughters. His wife is currently in the maternity ward, and he's hoping that she'll finally have a boy. The nurse then emerges to tell Mr. Stanley that they have a "surprise" for him, and he begins to celebrate... until she tells him that his wife didn't have a girl or a boy. It's then that three nurses appear, each carrying a baby girl. Fred tells Mr. Stanley to look on the bright side: "You can always plan on a girl's softball team!"
• Just the Ten of Us is about a couple with eight children, the youngest of whom is born in the first season. In an episode where they figured into the show from which it spun off, Boner was amazed at this, and figured they were Catholic. The show makes it clear that this is actually the case; the family's involvement in the Catholic church is central to the show's premise.
• The Kids Are Alright (2018) has the Doyle family, but with eight male children.
• Two episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit involve detectives investigating Christian families with 10+ children. However, in one of the episodes, the youngest "sibling" was actually the child of one of the older daughters.
  • Elliot Stabler edges into the mild end of this since he has five children, though a substantial age gap between the youngest and the other four meant that the first two children were already adults, with the oldest living outside the house, by the time the youngest sibling was born.
  • One episode featured a Smug Snake lawyer who had been impregnating women and then emotionally manipulating them to give birth because he wanted to have as many children as possible, with no care at all for the effect that this has on the mothers. Towards the end of the episode, he reveals he has 47 children (each by a different woman), and at least one additional woman is currently pregnant.
• Life with Derek: The blended family has five children. And at the end, the parents get pregnant with a sixth child.
• In Malcolm in the Middle, Lois and Hal start out with four kids (Dewey, Malcolm, Reese, and Francis), which expands to five with the addition of baby Jamie. However, since Jamie is born long after Francis is out of the house, they don't have to raise all five kids in the house at once. Also, in the series finale, Lois discovers she's pregnant again, prompting a loud scream from Hal.
• My Life with the Walter Boys is about an orphan girl named Jackie Howard, who moves in with her late mother's best friend Katherine Walter and her family. The Walter family has eight children, seven boys and a girl. Not only that, but two cousins, Lee and Isaac Garcia, were taken in by the Walters, so there are really ten children in total.
• Nanny 911 has "The Silcock Family", a family consisting of 23 adopted sons living in the same house. It got so hectic that all three of the nannies had to be called in.
• The Originals: Esther Mikaelson had seven children: Finn, Freya, Elijah, Klaus, Rebekah, Kol, and Henrik, with all but Klaus being a product of her marriage to Mikael Mikaelson.
• Parodied by RTL Samstag Nacht, who subtitled Kelly Family, an Irish clan of musician, mentioning some more family members like Otto Kelly, Petra Kelly, Gene Kelly, Grace Kelly, Dr. Helmut Kelly, Kelly von Sinnen...

• Both the original UK version and the American remake of Shameless have the central Gallagher family with the six main siblings — Fiona, Lip, Ian, Carl, Debbie, and Liam. Later on, in both versions, another is added to the fold — in the UK version, it was baby Stella; in the US version, it's a long-lost half-sister named Sammi. Patriarch Frank is implied to have even more illegitimate kids running around and the American version even likens the family to Explosive Breeders, stating that, due to the Gallaghers' great fertility, the USA will consist mainly of them and Mexicans.
• Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
  • Cardassians are said to have huge families, and several generations live in one household. Gul Dukat says he has seven children with his wife, and an eighth from an affair. Notably, Cardassians are family-oriented, so when the affair comes to light, he's essentially shunned from Cardassian society.

• Ultraman Z introduces a new invader to the series, the Space Pirate Alien Barossa, who claims to be the eldest of 10,000 siblings. Further Barossas have since shown up in the franchise, claiming to be seeking revenge for their dead brother.
• The Umbrella Academy: The titular academy is made up of seven (now-adult) siblings. Granted, they are adopted, but their paternity is a mystery and it is very possible that they are biologically siblings. Season 3 introduces the Sparrow Academy, another group of seven adopted siblings that were also born on October 1st 1989, although they're from a different timeline than the Umbrellas.
  • According to the intro narration, forty-three children ( sixteen in the Sparrow's timeline) were born under mysterious circumstances on October 1st 1989, and some scenes throughout the series all but confirm that their birth was caused by their adoptive father, Sir Reginald Hargreeves, meaning they might all be biologically related to an extent. Additionally, the narration specifically mentions forty-three women becoming suddenly pregnant, and in the comics there was at least one set of twins.
• A central aspect of The Waltons is that the family has seven children. (They actually should have ten, but two died at birth and one was a miscarriage.) This is a case of Real Life Writes the Plot; series creator Earl Hamner was himself one of eight children, and the series was inspired by The Film of the Book for his autobiographical novel Spencer's Mountain.

• The "Kelly Family", an Irish clan with no less than twelve siblings (nine of whom were in the band) who were quite successful in Germany in The '90s.

Quite the Big, Screwed-Up Family indeed, given that he also states that "My uncle's brother's sister is my mother in law. I don't know, I don't know, tell me. There's only one thing that I really know for sure, that I am, that I am, crazy."
• Cimorelli is actually composed of six sisters. If you count their five brothers outside the group, the Cimorelli family has eleven children (Which also extends to the name of group's company, Eleven Productions, LLC).

  • Just about every male god had a dozen or more kids if you count all of their illegitimate demigod offspring. However, the all-time winners have to be Oceanus and Tethys, who had 6,000 children together, evenly split between sons and daughters. They were the minor gods of every river in the world.
  • Another pair of ocean deities, Nereus and Doris, had 50 daughters and a son.
  • While not as extreme as many other examples in the mythology, Perseus and Andromeda had at least nine children.
• The Bible allows polygamy and some men were supposed to have lived for centuries, so you can imagine this came up a lot.
  • Check out the genealogy sections in early books. One thing you may notice is that most, if not all, of them say something to the effect that a man had the next step in the line, and had sons and daughters. That's at least five right there for everyone who did that.
  • Jewish tradition says that Seth alone had 33 sons and 23 daughters.
  • After the death of Sarah (indeed, after the marriage of his son Isaac), Abraham went on to father six children by Keturah. And Isaac is his second son.

All but Duhsala and Yuyutsu get themselves killed in a bloody war of succession after cheating their cousins out of the throne.
  • Kunti had six children, one of whom was conceived out of wedlock. Technically, Nakula and Sahadeva were born from Madri's womb, but she was enabled to do so by a blessing given to Kunti, so the story made it clear that they were hers (also, Kunti was the one who raised them, since Madri killed herself shortly after the boys were born).
• Celtic Mythology: Queen Medb and her husband Ailill had seven sons and one daughter.
• The Chinese folk tale "The Ten Brothers" features ten brothers, each with a unique power. The oldest can see to the horizon, the second can hear sounds from miles away, and so on.
• In Norse Mythology, Odin has a large number of kids, though he's still way behind Zeus. The exact number depends on the sources: Snorri lists eight (including Tyr, contradicting a story that he records where Tyr's father is Hymir), while the poem Skáldskaparmál has fifteen. At least some of the Valkyries are usually imagined as his daughters.
  • With the exception of Odin, Loki is noted to have more kids than other Norse gods: famously Fenrir, Jormungandr and Hel from Angboda, but also Na(f)ri and Vali, the former at least with Sigyn, and Sleipnir with a giant's stallion (yeah).

• There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do.

• The Hart wrestling family. Wrestler Stu and his wife Helen Hart had 12 children: Smith, Bruce, Keith, Wayne, Dean, Ellie, Georgia, Bret Hart, Alison, Ross, Diana, and Owen Hart. All the boys were wrestlers except for Wayne (who was a referee) and all the girls married wrestlers.
• The Dudleys of ECW, a family of (kayfabe) half-brothers who had the same father: Dudley, Dances With, Big Dick, Little Snot, Sign Guy, Chubby, Buh-Buh Ray, D-Von and Spike. Only the last three moved on to WWE.
• The Von Erich Family: Family patriarch Jack Adkisson, better known as Fritz Von Erich, had six sons. The oldest, Jack Jr., suffered an electric shock in his backyard and fell into a puddle, drowning at age 6. All of the remaining sons (Kevin, David, Kerry, Mike, and Chris) wrestled, using their real given names and the Von Erich surname. Sadly, by the time their father died in 1997, Kevin was the only surviving son.
• John Cena just squeaks in, being the second oldest of a family of five brothers.
• Roman Reigns joined this club in a different way in 2020 when his wife gave birth to their second set of twins, giving them five kids (one daughter and 4 sons).
• Out of kayfabe, in addition to being the youngest of 5 brothers, The Undertaker is a parent of 5 kids: a son from his first wife Jodi Lynn, two daughters from his second wife Sara Frank, and a daughter and son^note who is adopted with his current wife Michelle McCool.
• It's said that the reason El Generico became a pro wrestler in the first place was so that he could earn enough money to provide for his twenty-six brothers and sisters.
• Booker T is the youngest of eight children. His brother and Harlem Heat Tag Team Partner Stevie Ray is the third youngest.

• Bleak Expectations:
  • Pip Bin and Ripely have six children, though we only ever see one, Lilly, as an adult.
  • After they marry, Harry and Pippa have over twenty children, explained (via the series' usual grasp of logic) as being a result of Victorian Science meaning a woman could conceive and give birth in a rapidly short amount of time.
  • Ripely herself has sixteen older sisters. Her mother suffered Death by Childbirth, giving birth to hexadecamumplets.
  • The Hardthrashers, Sternbeaters, Whackwallops, Grimpunches and Clampvultures all have five siblings, due to the format of "a new Geoffrey Whitehead character who's a sibling to the last one appears each episode".
• One of Garrison Keillor's "News from Lake Wobegon" monologues featured the the Lake Wobegon Whippets baseball team: nine brothers all born "nine months and ten minutes apart."

• Katheryn, an NPC from Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues, has seven brothers (originally they were supposed to belong to her father, but a misreading of her bio led to them becoming her siblings instead). Competing with them is part of what's driven her to be so cut-throat and perfectionist.
• In Digimon World: Infamy, just about any family of Digimon is bound to have quite a few children running around, the relationship between the Player Character and his wife having resulted in seven children, four girls, and three boys, with no plans to stop anytime soon.

• The Dragon Blooded Exalted of the Realm are encouraged to have numerous children because of their hereditary power which is integral to the proper functioning of the state. Combined with their extended lifespans, it's quite possible for ten generations of the same family to be living under one roof (although their exceptional wealth ensures that it's a big roof).
• Warhammer 40,000: The Emperor of Mankind artificially created 20 sons (the Primarchs) out of his own genetic material. If one counts the Sensei as canon, then he had many thousands of natural children on top of that. In addition, all Space Marines and Custodes are technically biologically related to either one of the Primarchs or the Emperor himself due to their bodies being infused with their patron's geneseed, and the Primarchs often refer to their associated Space Marines as their sons.

• Leaf Coneybear of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has six siblings: Marigold, Brooke, Pinecone, Landscape, Raisin, and Paul.
• Productions of The Pirates of Penzance will often do this with Major-General Stanley's daughters, as it's the only chance to have a female chorus in the operetta. The script calls for at least four but how many appear in addition to this number is up to the director.
• Titus Andronicus: Titus Andronicus has 26 children (25 sons, one daughter). At the start of the play, most are dead, except for five—so the trope still applies (however, by the end of the play, only eldest son Lucius is still alive).

• Briar Light from Ever After High has five younger brothers and three younger sisters.

• Arknights: The Sui siblings who are literal fragments of a Feranmut called Sui are a family of twelve, with at least five known playable ones at the time of writing (Nian, Dusk, Ling, Chongyue and Shu), two more mentioned in "Invitation to Wine" (with one of them being the Arc Villain and having killed the other one) and another one mentioned in one of Nian's voice lines.
• Avernum 3 has the Merry siblings, who own general stores across the continent, and who "left home before [their parents] finished."
• Admiral Swiggins from Awesomenauts is the youngest of thirty siblings.
• In Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly, Lucas grew up in a family so large, he couldn't count all of his siblings even if he wanted to. It's implied that his late dad was a swinger because his siblings are "everywhere".
• Crusader Kings II hard-caps rulers at ten legitimate living children at any one time, though there's no cap on bastards. It is common for a Muslim ruler to have multiple half-siblings (especially if his father has taken four fertile wives). Ditto for rulers whose religion allows them to take concubines. In the context of the game, this can lead to succession wars as the half-siblings can attempt to press their own claims on the throne.
• Dragon Age:
  • In Dragon Age: Origins, the Human Mage comes from the Amell family. If Dragon Age II is played with this world state, it's revealed that the Mage Warden was one of several children born to Revka Amell, cousin of the protagonist Hawke's mother, who had to watch every single one of them be taken away by the Circle of Magi because they had magic ability. May also be the case with Goldanna, a laundress encountered during Alistair's personal quest, who mentions that she has "five mouths to feed." It's unclear whether she means there are five children or if she's counting herself and/or her husband in that number.
  • The human Inquisitor in Dragon Age: Inquisition is said to be the youngest child of the large Trevelyan family in Ostwick, in the Free Marches. How many siblings the character has is left up to the player, but the in-game profile suggests that this is the case, though there may also be as few as three.
  • Advisor Josephine Montilyet just narrowly fits into this trope, being the eldest of five children. ^note Only three of her four siblings are named in the game itself; her official profile indicates the existence of another unnamed brother.
  • The children of Andraste, the Crystal Dragon Jesus of the game world's predominant religion, also narrowly fall into this. She had two daughters of her own and also raised their three half-brothers, her husband's children by his concubine. This is also the case with Andraste's grandchildren, as her younger daughter, Vivial, is said to have had many daughters herself.
• Fire Emblem:
  • Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
    • Brom reveals in his support conversations with Zihark that he has five sons and three daughters. We only ever meet the youngest daughter Meg, however.
    • The royal family of the Serenes Kingdom had at least seven children. In addition to Reyson, Leanne, and Rafiel, who join the player's army, and Lillia, who died in the backstory, there is mention of a third brother and two additional sisters who died in the Serenes Massacre.
  • In Fire Emblem: Awakening, Anna has at least seven sisters, all of whom are completely identical to her and also named Anna.
  • Fire Emblem Fates: Corrin is one of five children in both their birth family from Hoshido and adoptive family from Nohr. If they were to count their siblings from both families, they would have eight. The Hidden Truths DLC reveals Lilith is their half-sister, meaning Corrin has nine siblings in total.
  • Edelgard von Hresvelg from Fire Emblem: Three Houses is one of eleven children from Emperor Ionius. Due to horrific experimentation from Those Who Slither In The Dark, Edelgard is the only one left alive.
• Gacha Life: Thorn mentions having 17 siblings.
• In Growing Up, Richard mentions having many siblings and that his parents hate paying for their movie tickets. He also gets a lot of hand-me-downs, which is why he doesn't like handouts.
• Sam from Harvest Town mentions having 300+ brothers.
• I Was a Teenage Exocolonist: Besides Kom, Anemone has triplet brothers, making them five siblings in all.
• Ivalice Alliance features six moogle siblings, which are Montblanc, Sorbet, Horne, Nono, Hurdy, and Gurdy.
• In The King of Fighters, Goro Daimon has six brothers and sisters. Goro is implied to be the fifth one: "Go" is the Japanese word for "five".
• The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap has the Blade Brothers, seven swordmaster siblings throughout Hyrule who teach Link new sword techniques (along with the spirit of their ancestor, Swiftblade the First).
• In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the Rito minstrel Kass has a clutch of five daughters waiting for him to come home. This is more startling when compared to his fellow Rito father, Teba, who only has one son.
• The angara race in Mass Effect: Andromeda have large families. One angara remarks that being one of nineteen children is average, and another considers being one of fifteen children "small". Several of them are quite shocked to learn that Ryder has only one sibling.
• In My Time at Portia, there are the Hulu brothers. There are seven of them, and outside of being Color-Coded for Your Convenience, they all look nearly identical.
• In No Umbrellas Allowed, Sangsu Ahn came from a family of seven.
• In Overwatch's 2016 Christmas comic, it's revealed that Torbjorn and his wife have at least eight children, maybe even more.
• Pikmin 3 has Alph, who will sometimes state in his notes he has twelve older brothers, one older sister, and one younger brother!
• Pokémon Sword and Shield has the Rock-type Gym Leader Gordie, who is shown in the artbook for the game to have four younger siblings, who appear in the design art for his mother Melony. The second eldest is the only girl. None of the siblings have appeared in the game or an animated adaptation, but do appear in fanarts sometimes.
• Poseidon: Master of Atlantis: Atlas has nine brothers, each a twin (so five pairs). Poor Cleito…
• Maguro from Puyo Puyo is the oldest of five siblings within his family.
• In Roots of Pacha, Anda and Todu have at least three older brothers.
• In Rune Factory 4, Vishnal has at least five younger siblings. They aren't important enough to get character portraits, though, and generally stay out of town.
• In Scribblenauts Unlimited, Maxwell is revealed to come from a family with forty-one siblings. All of them are brothers, except for Lily.
• Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice: The most elite Lone Shadows (deadly shinobi working for the Interior Ministry), are a set of seventeen brothers, the sons of the master shinobi Masatsuna Oribe.
• Yozakura of Senran Kagura is the eldest of twelve siblings, with one pair of twins and one set of triplets, and claims they were born across a span of nine years. While the writers did the math, that's all the research they did, as if their mother carried each child to term, she needed to be constantly pregnant during that time^note While the multiple births do reduce the number of nine-months gestation periods, it only barely makes room for biologically-demanded antenatal recovery. Not only is this unlikely to begin with, but there's a laundry list of health reasons not to do it.
• The Sims consistently limits household sizes to a maximum of eight, and pre-made families usually have six (i.e. two parents and four kids) at most; however, there are a few exceptions:
  • Peter and Samantha Ottomas from The Sims 2: Seasons have three children and are expecting twins when first played. Peter's mother Dora, who lives with the family, has a lifetime want to have six grandchildren, challenging the player to add yet another baby to the family once the eldest (David) leaves home.
  • The Best family from Starlight Shores in The Sims 3: Showtime are expecting their fifth child, as are the MacDuff family from Moonlight Falls in The Sims 3: Supernatural.
  • Brandi Broke in The Sims 2 is pregnant with her third child, but upon giving birth to him, she'll roll a want to have 10 children! (The want panel even warns the player that they'll have to move out the older siblings as they reach adulthood to make room for the new babies - even assuming Brandi stays a single parent, she'll have to move out the three she already has at some point to clear the space for the seven more the player is directed to have.)
  • The Curious family from The Sims 2 probably has the most siblings in a single generation in the game, with four full siblings (Pascal, Lazlo, Vidcund and Jenny), and two half-sisters (Chloe and Lola).
  • The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 both include lifetime wishes/wants that require this trope in order to achieve them: randomly rolled Lifetime Wishes in 2 can include things like "Marry Off 6 Children", while the "Surrounded by Family" Lifetime Want in 3 is achieved by raising 5 children from babies to teenagers. Both can look pretty tame, though, in comparison to a regular (but high-scoring) want from The Sims 2 base game to "Have 10 Children"!
• Spring-a-majig: Fred and Debbie have 10 children.
• In Star Control II, Fwiffo is the youngest child in a family of 18,487. His happiest memory is the time his mother called him by his actual name.
• Maple of Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar has three older brothers, two older sisters, two younger sisters, and one younger brother — making her the sixth of nine children.

• In Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES, players were introduced to Bowser's seven children. However, in more recent Mario games they have been retconned into simply being high-ranking minions of his, making the 'eighth kid' — Bowser Jr. — his only son. However, the seven Koopalings are still regarded as being siblings.
• Super Sized Family is about trying to look after seven children.
• Scout from Team Fortress 2 is the youngest of eight boys.
• Touken Ranbu contains odd and justified examples of this trope. The main cast consists of Japanese swords granted human form by the Saniwa, and since they aren't human, there probably isn't any blood relation between them. However, some of the Touken Danshi claim to be siblings either because they were forged by the same smith or because of some other factor, and as a result, they can have many "siblings," with the largest family in the game being the Awataguchi at 15 members.
• In World of Warcraft, one daily quest for the Mantid faction known as the Klaxxi has the questgiver remark that the monster you killed for him ate his brother, but he points out that he has millions of brothers. This may be an exaggeration, but it's implied that the Mantid birth large numbers of young and send them to fight the pandaren, with the intent of having the strongest come back alive.

• Danganronpa:
  • Byakuya Togami from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is one of either sixteen or 108 half-siblings, depending on the source.
  • In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Akane Owari says she has "about seven little brothers and sisters." She isn't entirely sure about the number, since every time she gets a new stepparent, they bring along several kids. Because Akane has such a large family, she has to work multiple part-time jobs (some of which are fairly questionable) to support the kids.
• In Highway Blossoms, Marina is the middle child of nine children. She has two younger brothers, two more younger sisters, three older brothers, and one older sister.
• This is common in Long Live the Queen, since having an heir is considered mandatory for anyone in the nobility in order to avoid problems with succession. Nearly all of the characters have at least one sibling and some have many more; one noble is shown to have six children by two different fathers. The player character, Elodie, is one of the only characters in the entire game to not have any siblings at all, which is particularly unusual since not only is her title obviously an important one, but Elodie's father has his own titles that Elodie can't inherit since her being in line for the throne takes priority.
• In Tavern Talk, Fable's the third youngest among seven siblings: they have one older brother named Oleander and five sisters, one of them named Bryony.

• "Helluva Boss": Implies Stolas is this in the flashback episode "The Circus" when he goes to see his father Paimon and his father needs to be reminded by the butler which son Stolas is since he has so many. He remembers Stolas as the owl boy, implying his other sons are different types of birds.
• Nikiciy: The Twist Ending of Is it okay to eat that much? reveals that the reason Max orders insane amounts of pizza isn't just because he's a Big Eater, but because he has ten children.
• According to the character profiles on the Season 3 DVD, Caboose from Red vs. Blue comes from a family of seventeen siblings. Dialogue in Reconstruction would suggest they're all girls.
• In RWBY, Jaune Arc has seven sisters, one of which is met in Volume 6.

• Fawn from Bardsworth has thirty sisters due to the way that fairies reproduce.
• Seventeen from Camp Weedonwantcha had sixteen siblings that abandoned her at the camp when she wouldn't adapt to the family moonshine business.
• The titular character of Cendaran Marael is the oldest of 26 sisters 27 if we're counting Warden. She is an Artificial Alien who was grown in a tube, so their sibling relationship is more cultural than biological.
• Jyrras in Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures has six older sisters and one younger sibling. When the sisters are introduced, their father has a hard time getting their names right.
• Felix from ''DeathSitter' has fourteen siblings. All of whom have names starting with the letter F.
• In Doc Rat, the title character has eight children, twenty-four grandchildren, and fifty-one great-grandchildren.
  • Mary Scamper has six children.
  • 5,000.
  • 52,000 and a new load on the way.
  • the tragic side: rabbits and rats have lots of kids, and they get eaten--legally--by carnivores. Ben has only one sibling living.
• In Drowtales, this is pretty much considered the duty of proper noblewoman.
  • It's acknowledged in-universe that Zala'ess Vel'Sharen takes the prize. Zala's sister Sillice refers to her children, grandchildren, etc. as "an army of your womb", and later on Zala marches with her family, which are said to be 500 strong.^note It's implied that some of those are unrelated retainers and servants, but still...
  • Sara'hilana Balvhakara describes herself as "The Matriarch's Eighteenth Daughter."
  • Ash'waren has so many children that when told that her daughter Faen is back, she only replies "who?" having forgotten which one she was until reminded of the year of her birth. Ash'waren later says that she has more daughters than anyone else living, and she's probably not exaggerating. Contrast with Diva'ratrika, who's roughly the same age and known to have only six (surviving) children in approximately 1,000 years.
• The Further Adventures of Astro Astrolovich, Space Guy: Astro has forty-three kids (implied to be from multiple different partners). When questioned about it, he simply says "What can I say? I love love and have a latex allergy." He seems to have positive, wholesome relationships with all of them to boot, and claims that he never mixes up any of their names (a statement that is accepted as proof of his mental acuity by a giant brain alien).
• In Housepets!, Fido's eventual mouse Head Pet, Spo, implied he had a lot of siblings this way.
  Fido: I think "Spo" is only almost a name.
  Spo: Hey, when you family is as big as mine it gets hard to come up with something original for everyone.
  Fido: How big is your family, anyway?
  Spo: Let's put it this way: my next younger brother's name is "Spp".
• How to be a Werewolf: Marin had at least 8 siblings, to the point where the author comments that "[she] has too many siblings for me to give them all names" though she does confirm that all of Marin's siblings names all start with an M. Justified, Marin's family is part of one of the sects of Christianity that encourage having as many children as the woman can physically bear.
• As a rabbit, Kevin Dewclaw has a lot of siblings. This is shown when he greets (the original Danielle) as "Sibling number 37". This has somewhat sadder implications for Kevin, as he once suggests that since he's one of (at least) 38 siblings, his parents don't care for him as much, and mainly focus on what makes him undesirable to rabbit society (his lack of fear and marrying a predator).
• Nixvir: Subverted with the snowmen, as, while they look up to Lord Nix, the god of snow and ice as their surrogate father figure, they are not actually biologically related to him, since they are Snowlems and therefore aren't produced naturally and gods do not have DNA. Played more straight with Vunfraen litters, which have fifty-eight offspring on average.
• Lasser of Nothing Special states he has 87 brothers within his royal family. He's more then glad he was disowned by his father as he prefers having the broom closet within Mr. Benson's item shop to living at his home since at the least the broom closet is his room.
• In Realmwalker Aegir and Ran have nine daughters. It's not yet been explained if they're nonotuplets or not...
• In Sandra and Woo, the raccoon goddess is unfortunately unable to grant Lily's prayer that the human Sandra will have at least twenty children.
• In Shortpacked!, the DeSanto family apparently has a lot of children (apparently all girls), of whom three—Robin, Roz and Riley—are known. Robin is either unwilling or unable to say how many there are in total.
• The Buckinghams of Shotgun Shuffle have seven daughters, of which the protagonist is the second youngest. This causes some friction with her roommate; Ellie doesn't really understand that you're not supposed to eat someone's ice cream or go into their room without permission, since in a family of her size there's really no such thing as privacy.
• In Something*Positive, Vanessa apparently has five full siblings (all of whom are dysfunctional in some way), and some number of half-siblings—even she isn't sure just how many.
  Davan: Why are there so many kids in your family?!
  Vanessa: Because trouble arrives in bunches?
• Renynir and Mikkel in Stand Still, Stay Silent. Reynir is the youngest of five; Mikkel has five younger siblings in addition to being a twin.
• Twice The Triplets: Six sisters who are two sets of triplets. And that is just for starters, because over the course of the comic they gain a seventh adoptive-sister when their uncle Fred marries his fiancé, whose teenage sister is living with her. And then Fred and his fiancé have a set of triplets of their own, ending the comic with ten kids in all.
• Jinx of The Whiteboard spends so much time at Doc's shop because he has eight sisters, and he's the middle child.

• The Bright family of SCP Foundation has six children: three sons, two daughters, and a sixth sibling who was Unpersoned after becoming the new iteration of Nobody. They aren't exactly portrayed in a positive light.

• The noble de Rolo family of Critical Role had seven children, consisting of four boys and three girls. All but one — player character Percy, the third-eldest — were killed before the story began. His younger sister Cassandra is later revealed to be alive as well.
• Jake Hurwitz of Jake and Amir has six siblings, which is only one more than his actor, the real Jake Hurwitz, has. His five real siblings make several appearances As Themselves, while the "Brother" series introduces his estranged older brother Kumail, played by Kumail Nanjiani.
• The Parody Commercial "Powerthirst" promises that anyone who drinks it will have 400 babies.

• 101 Dalmatian Street: Unlike the original, in which most of the puppies weren't actually Pongo and Perdita's by birth, Doug and Delilah really do have ninety-eight puppies (albeit from previous relationships, so only about half of that each), only eighteen of which have been clearly distinguished from the others.
• The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan: Four girls ^note Suzie, Anne, Nancy and Mimi, six boys ^note Henry, Stanley, Alan, Tom, Flip and Scooter. They also have a dog who's treated as an actual family member.
• Ty Lee from Avatar: The Last Airbender had six sisters. The problem was that they were all nearly identical; Ty Lee ran away from home to avoid becoming part of a "matching set."
• Bluey: In "Baby Race", a flashback shows that Bluey’s friend Coco is the youngest of nine children.
• Classic Disney Shorts:
  • Casey Bats Again: Through six different pregnancies, Casey and his wife end up having a total of nine children (enough for an entire baseball team)—and their nine kids include one pair of twins and one set of triplets. But much to Casey's (at least initial) dismay, all nine of his kids are girls.
• Clarence (2014): Sumo, one of the main characters, has 12 siblings (8 brothers and a sister who are around his age, two older brothers, and a brother who is just an infant).
• In Code Lyoko, Odd has five older sisters (Louise, Marie, Elizabeth, Pauline, and Adele).
• According to his Action Figure File Card, the C.O.P.S. character Barricade credits his skill at riot control to growing up in a house with seven kids and only one bathroom.
• The Cramp Twins: Tony Parson has three brothers and two sisters. Considering the Parsons are the last swamp people alive, being a large family saves them from extinction.
• Lil-One from The Crumpets, who is the youngest child of the titular family, has 141 siblings including King, Ohoh, Caprice, Pfff, Ditzy, Triceps, Bother, Blister, Fynartz, and Grownboy.
• On Daria, the Lanes just qualify with five kids (Summer, Wind (a boy), Penny, Trent and Jane). So far Summer is the only one known to have kids of her own, with four.
• On Dragon Tales, Cassie, one of the main dragon characters, is noted to have a very large family with 72 brothers and sisters, though only three or four of them are seen outside of a brief appearance in a song number featured as an interstitial.
• In Drawn Together, one Asian boy who's protesting Spanky's use of Ling-Ling to make shoes says it leaves him no way of making a living for his several dozen brothers and single sister.
• Parodied on Family Guy; a deleted scene features with a Show Within a Show called Dodecatuplets.
• Four Eyes!: In the episode "Mother's Day," Emma's mother reveals that Emma has a new 278th little brother, and that's only counting the younger brothers instead of a general number of siblings, be it elder or female.
• The twelve kids from Futurama's Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium become this when they're all adopted by businessman Abner Doubledeal in "Yo Leela Leela".
• On Gargoyles, a whole generation in each clan refers to each other as "rookery siblings," despite not necessarily being biologically related. Angela, for example, refers to having fifteen sisters.
• In The Ghost and Molly McGee, Molly's dad Pete has nine older siblings; six brothers and three sisters.
• Dade from Harvey Beaks have lots of siblings, being a rabbit and all.
• Kaeloo:
  • Stumpy the squirrel's official bio says that he has 36 sisters. The fifth season show reveals that he actually only has seven, but that's still enough to qualify for this trope.
  • Exaggerated with Kaeloo's family. In one episode, she says that she has 134,667 siblings! The end of the episode suggests that she may have made it up, though it isn't clear whether or not she did.
• In The Legend of Korra, Suyin Beifong has four sons and one daughter. Her unmarried, childless sister Lin mumbles that this sounds like a "nightmare." Meanwhile, Tenzin and Pema are just under this trope with two sons and two daughters.
  • When Mako and Bolin get lost in Ba Sing Sei, they wind up running into their father's extended family, which seems to be made up of dozens of people sharing one house. More a case of Massive Numbered Cousins, but it doesn't look like any of their relatives stopped at two or three kids.
• Lloyd of the Flies: Being a housefly, Lloyd has an obscenely massive number of siblings — 450, to be exact; 225 of them are older than him, and the other 225 of them are younger (with 224 of them still being maggots).
• Auriana from LoliRock has (at least) 32 sisters and at least one brother. However, that number may be more, since Auriana is shown evading capture at a young age, while a shot of her family in prison shows her mother with a baby and other girls much younger than Auriana.
• The Loud House is about the misadventures of Lincoln Loud and his ten sisters. The siblings' early pitch version as Funny Animal rabbits (who were eventually seen in "White Hare") take it further with one brother and 25 sisters (they're rabbits, after all).
• The Mighty B! — Gwen, right-hand girl and friend of the Alpha Bitch, Portia Gibbons, has five younger brothers.
• My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
  • The Apple Family is enormous. Based on the number of cousins Applejack has, Granny Smith must've had at least ten foals. Alternatively, the Apple clan might be extending the meaning of "cousin" to include second and possibly even third cousins. Referring to distant cousins as just "cousin" isn't that unheard of in real life.
    Applejack: This here's Apple Fritter, Apple Bumpkin, Red Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple, Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apple, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp... [stops and gasps for breath] ...Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, aaaaaaaaand Granny Smith.
  • In "Top Bolt" the reason showoff Sky Stinger becomes so attached to Vapor Trail is that his large family — he had at least four sisters — left him starved for attention from his parents. Vapor Trail herself is an inversion of the trope; she was an only child of overly-doting parents who appreciated being with someone who would take attention off her.
• Phineas and Ferb: Lawrence Fletcher's brother Adrian has six children. There are three boys named Beckham, two boys named Pele, and one girl named Eliza Beckham Fletcher. Just shows how much Adrian loves Association Football.
• Dijonay from The Proud Family is the oldest of ten.
• Samurai Jack:
  • The Daughters of Aku are identical septuplets.
  • By Season 5, the Scotsman has had at least 41 daughters with his wife, with named ones being Flora, Maeve, Isla, Bradana, Murdina, Alana, Oban, Ardbey, Fiona, Assie, Bonnie, Lorna, Mawina, Shona, Nora, Piesil, Shanath, Euspeth, Edme, Freya, Gilbartha, Gesha, Grizela, Innes, Dawntha, Cora, Davina, and Kina (he was going to name more before they were cut off). Oddly enough, they're all Amazonian Beauties, unlike their parents.
• Silly Symphonies: In the 1933 cartoon The Night Before Christmas, the house that Santa Claus visits is home to nine children, all apparently close to the same age, and who all sleep in one big bed too.
• The Simpsons:
  • Cletus Spuckler, the slack-jawed yokel, has many kids, who are a classic case of Aerith and Bob (and who may be his own half-siblings, Depending on the Writer). The known named ones are:
    Gummy Sue, Tiffany, Andie, Gordon, Lizzie, Jackson, Heather, Cody, Dylan, Dermot, Jacob, Jordan, Taylor, Brittany, Wesley, Rumor, Scout, Cassidy, Zoe, Chloe, Max, Hunter, Rubella Scabies, Kendall, Caitlin, Noah, Sasha, Morgan, Kyra, Ian, Lauren, Q*bert, Condoleezza Marie, Phil, Birthday, Crystal Meth, Dubya, Incest, International Harvester, Jitney, Witney, Mary WrestleMania, Carl, Stabbed In Jail Spuckler, two other daughters named Mary, and long-lost son Carl Durant.
  • Apu and his wife became parents of a set of octuplets. "Holidays of Future Past" shows that each of them had a set of octuplets.
