Slave Liberation
Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil, so let's liberate the slaves!
There are three ways to do this: Rescue someone else's slaves, usually by force. Free some slaves you already own or buy some slaves specifically to free them. Or have the slaves free themselves. This is the Supertrope of Gladiator Revolt. Turned Against Their Masters is also a rough sci-fi version of this trope, though usually a bit less idealistic.
Pattern-Coded Eggs
In real life, animals' eggs are usually inconspicuous colors like white, grey, and brown, likely because colorful eggs would draw the eyes of hungry predators looking for an easy meal.
Fictional creatures have no such need to hide, and often lay eggs with shells that are not only brightly colored, but match the color and pattern of the creature inside, sometimes down to fur and scales. In a visual medium, this helps the audience guess what might be inside the egg, if it hasn't been established already.
