** The Orks play this trope as straight as it gets. They have it written into their genetic code to fight, murder, and plunder worlds just for fun, and it takes an incredibly powerful Ork to keep other Orks from fighting amongst each other. When led by powerful Orks called Warbosses, Orks undertake massive invasions called \"WAAAGHs!" to conquer and loot worlds. A world that has been the subject of a WAAAGH! will be "infested" by Feral Orks that are incredibly difficult to exterminate. The Feral Orks will always wage nonstop wars against everything on the world. When a WAAAGH! encounters Feral Orks, the Feral Orks will usually join it.

** Then there are the Orks, who just have no fear of death, think killing is loads of fun, and aren't smart enough to realize that the other species disagree (though the [[BloodKnight other]] [[OmnicidalManiac species]] themselves [[ManipulativeBastard don't help]]). In fact, in any ''non''-CrapsackWorld, they'd probably be a pretty big subversion of this trope.

* The Titans of ''Manga/ShingekiNoKyojin'' eat humans, just because. They don't eat animals, so it's definitely not for nutritional value.

-> ''Do not offer them riches, they care not for your coin. Do not offer them surrender, they care not for victory. Offer them nothing, for they come only to murder.''

!!Add Examples, ya scum! Get crackin! If ''[[EvilOverlord He]]'' catches you lollygagging, you knows what will happen!

* Deconstructed in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles''. [[TheMessiah Shulk]] swears revenge on [[KillerRobot the Mechon]] following [[DoomedHometown their attack on his home]]. This isn't seen as a particularly bad thing as they're just soulless killing machines... [[spoiler:then it turns out that the Faced Mechon actually have members of his own Homs species inside them. Worse still is the fact that the Mechon ''aren't'' the native species of Mechonis... the Machina, who are just as human as the Homs and who built the Mechon, are. Upon realising that his RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the inhabitants of the Mechonis would take sentient life, he ultimately swears off it and begins his CharacterDevelopment]].

* Far Realm entities from Forgotten Realms can be considered this, from the players point of view they would almost always be chaotic evil, although in reality it may be more a case of {{Blue and Orange Morality}}.

** ''Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth'': Have you ever seen a Deep One that wasn't evil or Cthulhu-allied, even in Mythos works not written by Creator/HPLovecraft?[[hottip:*:OK, there was one in ''Literature/TheJenniferMorgue'' by Creator/CharlesStross and another in ''The Trail of Cthulhu'' by AugustDerleth.]] In ''The Fuller Memorandum'', it turns out that one of them is working for The Laundy itself and does a phenomenal job there.

** Xenomorphs are more neutral than evil, they kill because they must(food and reproduction), and they favor a cold efficency over wanton cruelty.

In later editions, this was relaxed, by inserting "often", "usually" or "always" in front of the alignment descriptor, to indicate how strong a tendency, cultural or otherwise, the race in question had to be of the alignment. This also created the phrase "Always ChaoticEvil". Actually, the word "Always" in this context means that the are born to that alignment, but it is entirely reasonable that a demon could repent and become good. this is actually a good way to do it. Now, the only races who are always one alignment or another are those who are somehow "tied" to good or evil (or law or chaos), such as demons, angels, and other spiritual creatures; or those without sufficient Intelligence to recognize alignment, which are always [[TrueNeutral neutral]] unless the previous rule overrides it. (Lemures, lowest of the devils, don't have an Intelligence score but are still Always Lawful Evil.) Mortal "bad guy" races are still marked as "usually evil", which is probably close enough to this trope as to make no difference.

* ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye: Shows more of the Decepticon lives, aside from destroying planets and good-guys. The Autobot Ore mentions that his goal at the end of the war was to get a new alt-mode and befriend a Con "they can't all be psychopaths right?" The story shifts to 6 Decepticons for an arc to show the mentality; they joke around, fail at their quest, and they're leader tries to reign in the more eccentric of they're group, they also joke about killing organics, and rob their dead comrade instead of mourning him, because hey, he ain't gonna be needing those parts.

*** In older editions of D&D, a smart player captured by ogres would attempt to trick the dumb brutes. In Pathfinder, a smart player captured by ogres will [[BrainBleach kill himself. Immediately.]]

* Justified in John Ringo's CouncilWars series. The Changed who make up the majority of New Destiny's military forces may be innocent victims, but thanks to the engineering of MadScientist Celine Reinshafen, they're evil, raping, pillaging, killing machines to the core. When they aren't just DumbMuscle, who are also evil.

** The Blarg from [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2002 the first game]] may also qualify, though they have sympathetic motives and are apparently being manipulated by their leader, Chairman Drek.

** Ditto the Nobodies, though this is disputed out-of- and in-universe.

** There's not a single decent member of the Zanscare Empire in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]''. That's even more jarring if we consider that most ''Gundam'' series usually try to depict war as shades of grey, without good or evil factions.
*** Not quite - the Zanscare army is usually portrayed as being heartlessly and irredeemably monstrous, but there are exceptions to that, the most outstanding example being Mathis Walker.
*** Perhaps the easiest way to understand why zanscare is so reviled is a) their brutality (there are a lot of death penalties, or [[FateWorseThanDeath even worse punishments]]) b) that there aren't any inspiring ''leaders'' capable of producing riveting speeches, something that Zeon has had more than any other faction. Instead, they rule by manipulating a woman who represents purity, thus not earning any favors from the audience.

** The Falmer weren't originally like this, but they have become twisted monsters after suffering for centuries under the rule of the Dwemer. ''Dawnguard'' reveals that [[spoiler: there is at least one sane Snow Elf left, who has hopes that there are others like him. He also notes that the Falmer are showing signs of rudimentary intelligence, giving him hope they one day might regain their lost sentience and return to civilisation.]]

* the [[Predator]]s/Yautjas, since they hunt and kill sentient beings(and/or unleash deadly bioweapons on planets) 50% for personal prestige and 50% for fun.

* The KungFuPanda franchise has a few species that fall into this. The most notable examples are gorillas, crocodiles, and ''especially'' wolves.

* Most of the Saiyans in ''Manga/DragonBall'' were said to generally be barbaric planet destroying bullies. Goku (being a unique exception in which he fell and hit his head as a baby) and a few other characters are the exception rather than the norm. This is often overlooked by fans, which Akira Toriyama parodied in Neko Majin Z with the character of [[FatBastard Onio]].
