Exclusively Evil: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' has a few of these, although they usually have a [[Justified Trope|reason]]. For example:

** The Daleks: mutated aliens in travel machines who are only capable of hate and negative emotions due to being bred that way by [[Mad Scientist]] Davros. They simply are made to believe Daleks are a supreme race and, [[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S31 E12 The Pandorica Opens|unless events outside of their control are threatening reality with oblivion]], everyone else deserves to die. [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|They're]] [[Recycled in Space|Space]] [[A Nazi By Any Other Name|Nazis]] (in the serial "[[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S12 E4 Genesis of the Daleks|Genesis of the Daleks]]", we learn that Davros "removed the brain cells of the conscience" from the proto-Daleks -- a feat that would be, to put it mildly, challenging). In fact, the Daleks are so evil that [[Doctor Who (TV)/NS/Recap/S1 E6 Dalek|when one of them realizes he's developing a conscience, he decides to commit suicide]].

*** A story in [[Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine)|Doctor Who Magazine]]'s Eighth Doctor comics, "Children of the Revolution", was all about the Doctor and Izzy meeting the Human Factor Daleks, who survived and were hiding peacefully in the oceans of a planet about to be colonized by humans. {{spoiler|The story ends up with the entire Dalek colony sacrificing themselves to stop the Big Bad, though.}}

{{quote| '''Solomon:''' Daleks, ain't we the same? Underneath, ain't we all kin? See, I've just discovered, this past day, that God's universe is a thousand times the size I thought it was. And that scares me. Oh, yeah, terrifies me right down to the bone. [[Hope Spot|*Hopeful music starts playing* ]] But surely it's got to give me hope, hope that maybe, together, we can make a better tomorrow. So, I beg you, now, if you have any compassion in your hearts, then you'll meet with us, and stop this fightin'. Well... what do you say?<br />

** ''[[Pathfinder]]'' (the official setting, that is) pretty much plays it straight, with the only significant difference being how much more willing it is to ''describe'' the kind of evil they are, for example, [[Take That|any drow who displayed compassion or altruism would get hunted down and killed]], or bugbears not simply being another goon-monster but an entire species of freakishly large yet uncannily sneaky serial killers who thrive on murder, or the infamous hillbilly rapist ogres.

** Overlapping with [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]], [[Snake People|yuan-ti]] are Usually Neutral Evil.

** Outside of ''[[Spelljammer]]'', Illithids are an almost universally evil alien race of psychic slavers. The Elder Brains that rule their civilization are even worse. In the ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'', there is ''one'' good Illithid, and that one is a very unusual case. Fortunately for everyone else in the setting, Illithid society is a mere shadow of what it used to be thanks to their former slaves, the Githyanki, rising up against them. As a result, the Illithids are [[Pragmatic Villainy|pragmatic]] enough to rein in their desire to eat brains long enough to trade and make deals with other races. That said, your chances of leaving with your brain intact after running into an Illithid in a dark alley all alone are still next to none.
