* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' has Hunters, [[NonindicativeName who don't really do much hunting]]. More blowing people up... ([[FridgeBrilliance though a lot of the human vehicles they destroy are named after animals...]])]]). The series also has a species called Engineers, who seem to naturally have a knack for repairing advanced technology of any kind. As it turns out, this is because they're an artificial lifeform designed by extremely advanced aliens to do exactly that.

Said creature may be an already existing one that is then named by outsiders, or they may be artificially-engineered creatures which is given name specifically for what they're built to do. In case of the former, said given name may start as a nickname and then turns into the real name, or the creature may have its real name revealed later (especially if said creature is sentient). Common in science fiction and fantasy, where exotic creatures are given easily understandable names so the audience/characters can relate to them.

When a creature has not been formally studied, an easy way to classify them is by what they do (as we do this to humans as well i.e. teacher, programmer, farmer, etc.). Biology's taxonomy system works with a more complex version of this system for individual species (''Homo sapiens'' = wise man, ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' = tyrant lizard king, et cetera).
