Except that doesn't always work because of how gameplay can dictate something that goes completely against the in-universe lore, something I have told Kryten more than once.

To give an example, Monster Hunter Stories allows you to hatch eggs for Khezu (which injects its parasitic offspring in a host's body), Barioth (which are viviparous), Zamtrios (whose juvenile stage is a small known as Zamite which appears as an enemy), and most egregiously Basarios and Gravios (the former is the juvenile stage of the latter) because the game's core mechanic revolves around hatching eggs.
