If the spell is countered, the offspring ability will not trigger, and no token will be created.

Many creatures with offspring abilities have other abilities that refer to them as “this creature” rather than referring to them by name. This difference is for clarity purposes and does not change the function of any of these abilities.

The token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else, except it’s a 1/1 (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its types, color, or so on.

Any “enters” abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters. Any “as [this creature] enters” or “[this creature] enters with” abilities of the copied creature will also work.

You can pay an offspring cost only once as you cast a spell with offspring. You can’t try to pay it multiple times to get more token copies.
