Parthenogenesis is, if I'm nor mistaken, a form of asexual reproduction, and was already covered in my earlier statement.

I basically interpret a male god of pregnancy as a god of sex.  8)

Dominions 3 has that fertile bull pretender god.  I always assumed male gods of pregnancy represent being fertile.



Hmm... I don't have too many.

I like that one.

I do too, but probably not for the reason you do. (I like it because she's still whispering despite being the god of silence. In essence, telling women to keep fighting against male patriarchy even when they struggle to silence the opposition! Given the general social mindset of the medieval timeperiod within which Dwarf Fortress takes place, it's a good message, I think.)

Zefon Bridefancies the Flower of Dance takes the form of a female dwarf and is associated with pregnancy and children.

Enjoying my first dwarfsplosion in a fortress with quite a few worshipers of this one - got 10 births now in less than three years :D

Edit:  11 births.  They just keep coming!

...Awesome. I got a great one. Short, but great.

Okosh Knightedkings is a deity of The Furnaces of Disemboweling. Okosh most often takes the form of a female dwarf and is associated with victory.

Okosh only supports kings that have earned their position by her surname, and she's worshiped by The Furnaces of Disemboweling. How the hell does a furnace disembowel? Doesn't matter! She makes it be! Oh, and she's the goddess of VICTORY.

I don't have a screeny, but there's apparently a god named Rovod in my favorite world that is associated with pregnancy, wealth, and death.

Is that a god or a hood?
