Son of Hanuman - Makardhwaj

Hanuman was not married, still he had a son, named "Makardhwaj". 

When Hanuman goes to Lanka for the first time climbing a vast sea, a drop of his sweat falls in the sea. In this sea, there was a crocodile (Makara) who swallowed his sweat and give birth to a son - Makardhwaj.

He was a gatekeeper of Ahi ravan and Mahi Ravan. When Ahi and Mahi captures Rama and Laksmana, Hanuman came to rescue them from their place. There Hanuman meets his son, but does not recognize him. When Hanuman wanted to know Makardhwaj identity, he told that he was a son of mighty Hanuman. Hanuman cannot believe it. After explaining further, Hanuman recognizes his son.

Hanuman told him to make a way for him to enter the place. But, Makardhwaj did not. So there was a terrible fight between two. At last Hanuman tied his son and enter the place and rescued Rama and Lakshmana. 

After that he made Makardhwaj the king of Patal lok and blessed him.
