Hey Doc, I think I screwed up and added an example who wouldn't belong. A couple of weeks back I added the Chaos Kin from Kid Icarus Uprising after replaying the game, but I'm starting to have second thoughts about it. I know that the author's intentions regarding a character's portrayal shouldn't mean much since they can have intended Complete Monsters fall flat like Godzilla from the GMK movie (Who has moral agency issues thanks to being possessed by vengeful spirits), or have villains not intended as such turn out to be one anyway (Like Nekron from Blackest Night, who ends up looking way more sadistic and evil than he should), but the Chaos Kin's idol (Character trophy) describes it as a mindless beast. To me it seems like it is capable of some sort of thought process due to the deeds I listed in it's entry, but I'm having second thoughts due to Moral Agency issues. Unlike Hades who does the wrong thing to souls KNOWING full-well that it's the wrong thing to do, the Chaos Kin doesn't really talk except for when it's talking out of an other character's mouth, so it's hard to tell if it's being sadistically evil as a choice or is wired to spread chaos. Should I axe it's entry?
