Line 8:
This trope is certainly [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism|very idealistic]] and is used mostly in shows with [[Black and White Morality]]. The more cynical shows love to [[Light Is Not Good|subvert it]].
In more recent media, both this trope and [[Always Chaotic Evil]] are less frequently used, especially with classical versions of this trope such as [[Our Angels Are Different|angels]], [[Can't Argue With Elves|elves]], and [[The Fair Folk|fairies]] all increasingly portrayed as at ''best'' just as fallible as humanity. In more extreme cases, [[Always Chaotic Evil]] continues in full sway, while this trope practically disappears, no doubt because [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids]].
'''Note that before adding examples to this list, just like [[Always Chaotic Evil|its evil counterpart]], [[Lawful Good]] is only the [[Trope Namer]]. Also, like Always Chaotic Evil, [[Always Lawful Good]] also does not necessarily mean that everybody of the race is of the same good alignment. While a race can literally be Always [[Lawful Good]] and apply for this trope, this also extends to races that are also Always [[Neutral Good]] and Always [[Chaotic Good]], or races that have [[Lawful Good]], [[Neutral Good]] and [[Chaotic Good]] individuals, but no evil individuals of any kind.'''
Line 14:
Often a whole race of [[The Beautiful Elite]], since [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]. Compare [[Noble Profession]]. May be employed with [[Alike and Antithetical Adversaries]]. This is a [[Planet of Hats]] where the "hat" is being good. For this trope applied to humanity, see [[Humans Are Good]].

* Angels if they are [[Our Angels Are Different|not too different]].
