Reproduction or procreation is the ability to create offspring. It is a trait common among many species of animals and is a trait of humans. Sexual reproduction is where two beings of the same species, each of the opposite sex, create offspring through the mating ritual of sex, while asexual reproduction is where a single being (usually of no particular sex) generates offspring by themselves.

Mainstream Smurfs Media[]

Baby In Diaper

In mainstream Smurfs media, Smurf reproduction is non-physical, as all baby Smurfs are brought to the Smurf Village from an unknown location on the night of a blue moon by stork. Since the mainstream Smurfs are by nature a single-gendered race, natural-born Smurfs are mostly male, with female Smurfs being magical creations. Strangely in the cartoon show, Baby Smurf's gender is rarely if ever revealed in any interpersonal conversation among the adult Smurfs.

It is mostly inferred, though not illustrated or shown in any graphic detail, that humans and animals are the only creatures in mainstream Smurfs media that physically reproduce. In the 2011 Smurfs movie, Patrick and Grace Winslow are a human couple who were expecting their first child, a son named Blue, who is born sometime after the events of the story and is shown as a baby in the end credits and as a four-year-old boy in The Smurfs 2.

The Fuzzles in the 1980s cartoon show episode "Fuzzle Trouble" reproduce asexually by eating things.

Parents

Smurfs in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series can reproduce physically, since they are by nature a two-gendered race, with both genders having reproductive organs similar to that of humans. A young adult Smurf of 100 years of age is considered physically developed and capable of reproducing, although societal norms suggest that a Smurf must be at least 150 years old to marry and have children. However, despite that adult Smurfs may be physically capable of reproduction, their belief system holds that only Mother Nature has the power to allow conception to happen at her discretion during any act of sexual intercourse. Tapper, being more of a Christian than a follower of the Smurfs' belief system, claims that only the Almighty has the divine right and power to allow conception for all creatures capable of physical reproduction.

The normal gestation time of a Smurf from conception to birth during a pregnancy is usually around seven to nine months, after which they are delivered through the birth canal and nursed for about ten years until they can develop the appetite for solid food. During the pregnancy, the female Smurf may experience morning sickness and strange food cravings, and her mobility may be limited as the child inside her grows to at least 7/8 inch tall. Unexpected mood swings may also occur within females during a pregnancy. The birthing process is considered painful for most female Smurfs, though in the case of Empath's mother and eventually Smurfette (who were both carrying children with telepathic abilities), they experienced very little pain in the delivery of their children.

Although female Smurfs for the most part can only carry one child at a time during a pregnancy, there have been occasional twins that were born such as Hefty and Handy.

It is assumed that this universe's version of Peyo, who had his hands on the memory crystal that contained the history of the Smurfs, had purposely bowdlerized the account of how Smurfs reproduce for the sake of entertaining children with his fictional series The Smurfs by saying that the Smurfs reproduce by having male Smurfs be brought to the village as baby Smurfs from an unknown location by a delivery stork.

Psyches

Psyche reproduction is mostly handled by the Psyche Master, as they are created from Smurf essence made from the Psyche Master's beard, and are put into gestation chambers for the same period of time as a Smurf pregnancy. However, the Psyches are given some level of accelerated aging during their gestation period that they will emerge from their gestation chambers as young Psychelian children. Because of this, all sexual and reproductive desires have been forcibly purged from all Psyches. Despite this, Polaris Psyche is the only known Psyche who has fathered a child during his life with the Smurfs, with his child Libra being both a Psyche and a Smurf.

Other species

The reproduction of the various humanoid species that the Smurfs come across is mostly non-physical, with the exception of humans.

LD Stories[]

In The Smurfs: Light and Dark, there are humans, Smurfs, and other species of characters who are known to reproduce.

Humans[]

Regardless of their physical readiness, most humans are not mentally ready to reproduce until they are near adulthood. Chastity is considered a "heavenly virtue," which prompts most heterosexual lovers to wait until marrying before engaging in close intimacy. This simultaneously ensures that both partners are ready to become parents should the end result of their intimacy be a child.

Smurfs[]

If interested in becoming a parent (either singularly or as a couple), Smurfs must pay a visit to Mother Nature and receive her blessing to have a male Smurf baby delivered to them. A baby Smurfette, however, must be created magically with the same spell used to created Smurfette, Sassette, and Moxette.

Smurfs are considered "official adults" by their 150th birthday, although most are not mentally ready for parenthood until closer to or after their 200th birthday.

Hero Stories

The first known case of physical reproduction among the Smurfs in the HERO: The Guardian Smurf story series was when Wonder Smurfette was pregnant with Hero's daughter Saviour. However, the cause of the pregnancy was Mother Nature conferring a blessing of a child upon Wonder, which lasted for a total of nine months, the length of a standard human pregnancy.

Many years after Hero and Wonder's wedding, Hero's fellow Smurfs used the Mirror Of Opposition to have female counterparts for themselves and soon became parent Smurfs. Around his 500s, Hero became the father of another child through his second wife Smurfette, whose pregnancy in her elder years came as a miracle.

The birthing process in considered painful for most female Smurfs, though in the case of Wonder and eventually Smurfette, they both only experienced severe pain at the beginning of the process in the deliveries of their children, but the pain was quickly suppressed by Hero, who was constantly using his Healing technique in order make sure they both had enough strength to see the delivery through.

Smurf Me Up[]

The first Smurf to be produced by Glovey and Smurfette was their son Angelo. The storks come around and leave more baby Smurfs in the village, but as time passes, new Smurf villages and clans start to appear along with more Smurfettes. Eventually, the Smurfs break away from their old custom ways and start mating with Smurfettes to produce new Smurfs that contain genetics of both mother and father. Smurfs, however, will never mate with their own kin, for the see it as something wrong and taboo similar as to how the humans do as well.

Smurfs: The Magical Blue stories[]

In the Smurfs: The Magical Blue story series, the first case known of real reproduction is when Smurfette and Smurfo were married and when she was pregnant for her two more children, Iron and Eris. For the Smurfettes, however were unable to reproduce, due to the fact that they already have children. Years later when the children grew up, they all got married and reproduce their own children. This is very painful for all of the next generation of Smurfettes, but quickly healed by the power of the Neon Power's healing.

Bioau stories[]

A family of Smurfs including two children and a pregnant mother.

In the Bioau series, the Smurfs being capable of reproducing sexually is the cause for many of the ways the series differs from canon.

Smurfs in the Bioau series have an oestral cycle instead of a menstrual cycle. While animals with a menstrual cycle (like humans) are fertile nearly all year round, animals with an oestral cycle are much more limited in when they can conceive. For the Bioau smurfs, that season is mid-spring to early summer. Due to their long lifespan, a Smurf's pregnancy is twice as long as that of a human, being 18 months long as opposed to 9 months.

Smurfs care a lot less about having to have babies within a marriage. Women are allowed to have children with who they want, and since lineage is passed on matriarchally, there's less worry about that as well. As a result of this, there are a handful of Smurfs who do not know their fathers.

The Fearless Smurfs[]

In The Fearless Smurfs, all of the tribes reproduce naturally, although the Peyo tribe reproduce males more than females. The reason behind this is unknown.

The Butterverse[]

In the Butterverse, reproduction of the Smurfs is handled entirely through stork deliveries.

The original Smurfs of this series, which were created by a long-forgotten wizard, used to reproduce naturally before the divide that separated them into individual colonies. As such, present day Smurfs still have two sexes, but both male and female Smurfs are sterile by default and pregnancy is not possible, even if physical relationships are.

In order for a new Smurf to be delivered, two parent Smurfs (one parent Smurf would generate a clone) must submit a 'stork application'. This is simply an acknowledgement that the parents are consenting to raise a Smurfling, and to check they are compatible enough with the mystery system that generates them (E.g not related, of adult age and they must have some form of DNA, either from being a natural Smurf with ancestry or being a Smurf created from Gargamel's Smurfette formula. Smurfs can technically apply as early as 100 years old, but many will consider this too young and the average age is between 150-400 years old.) The only known Smurfs to be infertile even to the Stork deliveries are book characters such as Don Smurfo, who was neither born nor created but simply given a 3D life.

Smurf parents can technically apply for multiple deliveries, such as with Painter and Poet's two sons, or even stork deliveries when the Smurf's romantic partner has changed, such as Clumsy who has children that are half-siblings. Normally a stork delivery will consist of one Smurfling, but there have been cases of twins, such as Crash and Bolt. Triplets may even be possible, but there are no known cases as of yet. As this method does not require traditional reproduction, the sex of the parents does not matter. Male/Female, Male/Male and Female/Female Smurf couples are all eligible for stork brought deliveries. It is still a mystery exactly how this process works, and all that is truly known is that it has something to do with the blue moon. This may be linked to Harold, but no confirmation exists as of now.
