They've been known to attack and wipe out entire villages populated by the races they deem "savage." While the worst of the prejudice is shown coming from the humans, no race is immune.

* ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' is full of this: the various elven races have a staggeringly low opinion of everyone else, regarding the “goblins” (the humans and orcs) as little better than animals and not having a much better opinion of the dwarves. In turn, the goblins think the elves in general and the drow in particular are murderous demons, and the dwarves hate the drow for having taken away their homelands.

** Redcloak, TheDragon, is a goblin, and treats hobgoblins like dirt until one saves his life - he then becomes a goblin''oid'' supremacist (Technically, he says he hates ''all'' Humans equally, admitting that he may be a ''species''ist, he never wanted to be a ''rac''ist). Wizards, who gain magical power through study, are contemptuous of sorcerers, whose magic is a genetic gift and of clerics whose magic is a gift from the gods. And in the ''Start of Darkness'' print {{prequel}}, it's revealed that [[spoiler: the AlwaysChaoticEvil races are that way because they were specifically created by the gods to be defeated, and their ultimate plan is an attempt to create equality for themselves]].
