The TropeNamer and TropeCodifier would be the story of Noah from Literature/TheBible, who was told by God to build an ark in order to preserve his family, seven of every "clean" animal (the extra were for sacrifices), and two of every "unclean" animal in order to be protected from the flood.

* In the seventh ''{{Animorphs}}'' book, [[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien the Ellimist]] makes his first appearance by telling the main characters that they have no real chance to defeat the [[PuppeteerParasite Yeerks]]. While he's not allowed to interfere with the war, he offers to preserve Earth's life by transporting a portion of humanity, along with animals, to another planet. He even shows them a BadFuture of how things will go if they don't take his offer. [[spoiler:Said BadFuture actually helps them realize how to strike a major blow against the Yeerks, which was the Ellimist's plan all along]].
