Anyone Know Some Evil Races?

[Smoochy5588]

I'm looking for some evil races, anyone know of any?

 

[ApatheticLlama]

Any person of any race could be evil. No race is objectively, entirely evil. Some races may be presented as evil or immoral, but this is usually subjective to in-character prejudice. For example, the Wulong are thought by other species to be immoral, violent and dangerous, whereas they in fact have a complex empathetic system that does not consider other races to be capable of emotional distress.

True evil comes from the inside. Pumped like a black and viscous liquid from a shriveled heart.

 

[Mecharic]

Vampires aren't a race per-say, but they are certainly evil.

 

[Anseran]

Every creature that's good may be evil, and every creature that may be evil could be good.

Loving the philosophical replies. But if you're looking for stereotypical "evil" races, here are a few examples:

• Crelin Kleinfolk
• Shendar
• Orcs

That's all I can come up with. But there are plenty of friendly Shendar, Orcs and Crelin.

As pwnzownz has said, no race is inherently evil. I wholeheartedly agree with this point.

But I will also add this warning: don't make your character evil by nature; they have something that makes them do bad things. All of the best villains in literature and media have complex reasonings, or misled sympathies that cause them to take actions that can be considered malevolent in nature. Riding on the concept that some things are inherently evil will give you a very flat, one-sided character that will get old very fast.
