If there were darkspawn babies all players would be trying to complete the babykilling achievement. I would go for inferno and cleanse the place with fire! Reminds me of District 9 where they are killing the prawn eggs.... pop pop pop just like popcorn.

That scene was actually evil. My jaw dropped. Very powerful, disturbing scene. Props for it.

That would be hilarious if there was a game that had a baby killer achievment.  I remember fallout had the childkiller perk.  Just think of all the parent groups that would be up in arms about that.  Media gold.

actually there is supposed to be a baby killing achievement in the latest dante's inferno game which is where i got the idea. And yes there are lots of croc tears over it.

Of COURSE you would kill baby spiders or snakes.

The last time I found a baby spider, I made a pet out of it. Nor have I ever killed a baby snake. I've only killed one spider on purpose and that was only after I made sure it was a black widow.

Edit: That's not true. People ask me to kill various things for them all the time, though I usually prefer to catch and release.

Obviously, non-poisonous don't really apply as, they aren't dangerous.
But simply catch and release of anything that can, is foolish.  No matter how much you think it will thank you, or how much you think it will live and let live, wild animals or evil creatures have no such compassion.

If you find a cobra in your babies crib, you do not ask why, you do not ponder if it is friendly. You kill it.

You're seriously moving the goalpost here. Before you said that a person would kill baby snakes and spiders whenever you find them. No mention of how deadly they were, if they were poisonous, or if they presented an immedate threat to anyone. Now you're creating a situation where a well known mankiller is in the bed of an utterly defenseless person that the reader presumably loves dearly.

Is finding a group of darkspawn babies the same as finding a cobra in your baby's crib? No, not at all. There's no immedate danger. We don't know that darkspawn are inherently evil or all wild; we don't even know the nature or source of the taint they carry.

In truth, we're fairly ignorant about darkspawn, but they do appear to be (mostly) mindless hordes of evil and it's very pleasing to think of them as such.

Put them all into the abandoned orphanage in the elven alienage and hire Morrigan as full time babysitter. Awww, such a Norman Rockwell image...

Your party is in the Deep Roads and has finished killing a giant broodmother. As her mass sinks to the ground, you loot her corpse only to find a dozen darkspawn babies.

What do you do?!

Go back to the Forgemaster's room and throw them in the forge.  Without question or hessitation you kill them.

Send them to Weisshaupt for study and examination, can as well experiment on them before we turn them all into Blightburgers.

Or if they even HAVE babies (i.e, they come out fully grown).

Look at the broodmother's chest. She's feeding a damn army with those boobs.

No baby could use those things!  Unless darkspawn babies are born big then slowly shrink to become darkspawn adults
