I cant find tropes for Always Chotic Good = Huflepuff nor Always Lawfl Evil = Ravenclaw.

You might wanna clean up your grammar. Besides, when you say Ravenclaw, I'm pretty sure you mean Slytherin. Ravenclaw's the smart house.

I think the "chaotic" in "Always Chaotic Evil" is unfair. You can have some very heroic Chaotic Good people, like Drizzt Do'Urdan, Han Solo and Robin Hood, and Lovable Rogue's like Jack Sparrow. It's an unfair biase to say that Chaos is worse than Law, when they are two sides of the same coin. Chaotic Evil people may be the most dangerous alignment, but they're aren't always the most evil; their evilness is often more a result of psychoticness or mental illness than actual evil. You can also have some incredibly evil Lawful Evil or Neutral Evil people.

I propose a change of the trope's name to "Always Evil" instead. Or "Always Neutral Evil", if we need a Character Alignment that badly (we don't anyway, due to the wiki's policy of no alignment examples), due to it being described as the "asshole alignment". Or we could have "Racially Always Evil", due to the trope being about a generally evil race. Check the discussion for the Always Lawful Good while you're at it, too. "Sounding cool" doesn't justify it.

I too think the "Chaotic" in "Always Chaotic Evil" is not only unfair, but also misleading, so much so that they made disclaimers on other pages when linking to this page. However, I do understand that the "Chaotic" is meant to make it sound more evil, a la Rule of Cool. Therefore, I propose a name change that ties this trope in with a different trope than Chaotic Evil. More specifically, Complete Monster. Something like "Complete Monster Clan" or "Complete Monster Race" sounds more appropriate, or something along those lines. After all, Complete Monster is the most evil characterization trope out there, and this is meant to be a race full of them.

Are viruses an example? Both in real life and in machines, viruses do nothing but evil, but it borders on a real life example, so I'm asking if it's ok to put on the page (or if I am wrong about viruses).

  • From a real mouse's point of view, real rats would be Always Chaotic Evil, as they're quite happy to kill and eat mice.
    • That would make orcas Always Chaotic Evil in regards to dolphins, because they also eat them... But dolphins despite their playful friendly rep are among the biggest douchebags of the animal kingdom... Outch, my head hurts.

Predators are not evil just before they eat prey, even by the most open definition. That's plain old True Neutral. Though dolphins' rape-based, murderous culture might qualify if you think they're smart enough.
