* ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' has the player start off thinking that all beastmen are scum, but then has you find out that most of them are fighting the player races for various reasons. The Quadav are only in conflict with Bastok due to the fact that Bastok kinda tried to take over the Quadav's homelands, and have since been in constant combat with them over land and resources. Then, there are the Goblins, who are less evil and more [[Honest John's Dealership|willing to do anything to make a buck.]]
* The Gnosis of the ''[[Xenosaga]]'' series appear at first glance to be a fairly typical all-evil, human slaying alien race. The truth turns out to be a bit different from that, but they're still all homicidal to the end.
* Tediz in [[ConkersConker's Bad Fur Day|Conker series]]. Especially in the remake where they are biological beings instead of [[Mecha-Mooks|robots]] and are more free thinking.
* In the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]'' games, Poison type (especially pure poison) Pokémon (with the sole exception of [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?|Bulbasaur]]) are ''[[Poison Is Evil|eeeeeeevil]]''.
** And if their Pokedex entries are correct, Gyarados, Tyranitar and Hydreigon seem to have a natural tendency towards violence. You could view them as dangerous animals and not truly evil but one qualifier for chaotic evil is being too dumb or simple to know any better...
Line 450:
** Cubi, on the other hand -- which [[Our Demons Are Different|are not actually demons in the setting]] -- are quite explicitly stated ''not'' to be this in the comic itself, despite reputation -- the evil ones just get all the press, because torturing or seducing people makes for a more exciting story than helping sick children.
** The fae, on the other hand, seem to be Always [[Chaotic Neutral]].
* Some of the early humor of ''[[Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic]]'' depended upon this concept, as the comic has its roots entirely in older editions of ''D&D''. For example, when the beholder Bob cheats on [[HotImprobable Skitty-On-WailordSpecies ActionCompatibility|his goblin girlfriend Gren]], he tries to justify it by pointing out that he's evil. Gren points out that they're both [[Lawful Evil]], and goes on to cheat on Bob extensively, as is her right as the wronged party under goblin law. Most of the monster characters are so [[Affably Evil]], though, that it sometimes feels jarring when they get around to doing some ''really'' bad stuff.
* ''[[Tech Infantry]]'' has the Bugs, created as a living biological weapon by a race of [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]] to use as a [[Redshirt Army]] against a race of alien [[Body Snatcher|Body Snatchers]] who are themselves very much [[Always Chaotic Evil]]. And any organization in this universe with "Security" as part of its name is pretty much guaranteed to be evil.
* ''[[The Challenges of Zona]]'' has the [[Our Orcs Are Different|Orc stand-ins]], the Urtts, who [[Word of God]] assures us are all just plain evil, and we shouldn't give any pity to the ones maimed, charred, and dissected by the Heroes. Yes, even their [[Half-Human Hybrid|half-human bastards]].
* Elves in ''[[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]'' are all racist, genocidal narcissists whose history has been described as a lovesong to bloodshed and themselves. Their arrogance is also unjustified, as they prove to be no better than other races (for example, having technology on par with other races despite a 9,000 year head start), something that Black Mage and Red Mage tell Thief, the Elven Prince. Their national anthem begins "We're a race of total bastards." An anthem they ''stole''.
** The other races aren't much better. ''8-Bit Theater'' is a [[Crapsack World]], after all.
* Parodied by way of [[Not So Different]] in [http://badgods.com/orc.html this] comic by Lore Sjöberg.
