History Main / AlwaysChaoticEvil

*** Pretty much played straight with The Black Spiral Dancers. They were once Garou who descended into the Wyrm's very own home in an attempt to destroy it. They lost and were forced to "dance The Black Spiral." This had [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil severe]] [[GoMadFromTheRevelation consequences]] on their psyches. Any one who enters that monstrosity is doomed to a life of depravity and madness.

** ''TabletopGame/PrincessTheHopeful'' has the various minions of the Darkness, with the exception of the Darkened (those who have been tainted by the Darkness but have not yet lost all their [[KarmaMeter Integrity]], and who can be cured if they can get their Integrity high enough, or by magical intervention from a Princess). Darkspawn are created when the Darkness devours the last scrap of a Darkened's humanity, creating an inhuman monster (usually with little more mind than an animal). Mnemosynes are those who welcomed the Darkness in without a fight, retaining their human mind and memories but with whatever vestigial conscience they may have had erased. And the Cataphracts are essentially incarnate spirits of Darkness formed in the image of those who committed suicide or gave up on hope. None are the least bit redeemable.

** ''TabletopGame/LeviathanTheTempest'' has the Ophions, which are created when a Leviathan's [[GodOfEvil divine self]] overcomes its [[{{Kaiju}} bestial self]] and its human self (Typhons, created when the bestial self overcomes the divine, are closer to a NonMaliciousMonster). Ophions are the worst sort of sociopaths, having lost the capacity to see others as more than pawns to be manipulated in order to advance the Ophion's schemes and increase its power. Even other Leviathans agree that destroying Ophions is a positive good.

** Mainly averted with the rest of the setting -- even [[ImAHumanitarian Varatjul and the Dune People]] have an explanation for what they do (the Varatjul because [[MoralMyopia they don't view other humans as being truly sapient]]; the Dune People are {{Crazy Survivalist}}s who, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero thanks to the Solars]], have come to view the world in terms of Us vs. Them, with "them" being [[AbsoluteXenophobe "everyone who is not a Dune Person"]]).

** Ditto for the Nemoidians, the leaders of the Trade Federation. Viceroy Gunray pretty much embodying every single one of their traits: they're {{Dirty Coward}}s as described by Qui-Gon Jinn, have no qualms about invading ([[BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord they call it "occupying"]]) a peaceful planet [[OnlyInItForTheMoney just for profit]], and threw their lot with the Separatists in the Clone Wars partly motivated for Gunray's desire for revenge against Padmé Amidala due to the invasion fiasco. They only consider their own profit, [[LackOfEmpathy with the damage they might cause others being irrelevant]].

* ''WebOriginal/HamstersParadise'': The first sapient species to evolve on the world of HP-02017 are the aptly named Harmsters. They are a naturally sadistic, cannibalistic species that take excitement in the suffering of others and have a [[TheSocialDarwinist might-makes-right]] based society enforced through fear. However they are something of a {{Reconstruction}} as they are given an explanation for this brutal BlueAndOrangeMorality. Their sadism is due to having evolved from a predator designed to rip its prey apart and eat it alive, their callousness towards their own kind is due to their [[ExplosiveBreeder rapid reproductive capabilities]] which they developed to cope with a [[WeHaveReserves high mortality rate]] and they acquired their survival-of-the-fittest mentality by observing the natural world and noticing how [[NatureIsNotNice predators kill herbivores, herbivores consume plants and even plants will poison or choke each other]] and coming to the conclusion that all life exists to destroy all other living things and that they are defined by what they kill.

* Subverted in ''WebOriginal/{{Mortasheen}}'', where no creatures are inherently evil (well, except for the Dolfury), and they're all as loyal to their trainers as any Pokemon would be. Yes, that includes the [[OurDemonsAreDifferent scary mind-raping Devilbirds]] and the [[EldritchAbomination horrible, maddening Unknowns]].

* The Vikings of ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' initially believe that all dragons are horrible monsters who will always go for the kill. This is later proven false when Hiccup befriends Toothless and a few other dragons.

* ''Webcomic/{{Dreamkeepers}}'' has the [[EldritchAbomination Nightmares]], who exist solely to destroy all the Dreamkeepers and, by extension, humanity.

** The central theme to Order of the Stick seems to be change. Characters who have shown to be able and willing to change, such as Belkar, tend toward Good. Those who cannot, such as the Undead, or will not, such as Redcloak, allow themselves to grow are Evil. Durkon probably spells it out the clearest. He muses that Evil people remain that way because they are too afraid to change as that would require them confronting the Evil things they've done. This is best shown when Durkon becomes a vampire. [spoiler:His vampire spirit is essentially what he would be if he never moved on from his worst day; the day he felt the most pain, anger, confusion, betrayal, and grief. They even argue about it, with the vampire telling Durkon that he is who he is "on his worst day" with Durkon eventually arguing that he is who he is on EVERY day and that, when you have a worst day, you can choose to get hung up on it and live with that pain forever, or move on and try to make something good out of it.]]

* The crows in ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' are shown this way -- justified because [[spoiler:they're characters escaped from a fairytale]]. They're so evil that even their ''blood'' can affect a character's personality.

* According to the Flame King in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', all denizens of the fire kingdom are evil. Including [[CardCarryingVillain himself]], and his daughter [[ThirdOptionLoveInterest Flame Princess]]. That said, after a brief debate with [[TheHero Finn]], the Flame King concedes that by spending time with a "good guy", it would be in theory possible to [[HeelFaceTurn turn Flame Princess good]], though he notes that she'd [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons take penalties to experience for acting out of alignment.]] Later revelations in the show seem to suggest that this is a simplification. Flame people don't seem totally evil, though Flame Princess notes that they tend to be "deceitful [[ItMakesSenseInContext and Shakespeare]]."

* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', the Uchiha clan was an entire family of {{Arrogant Kung Fu Guy}}s with a genetic predisposition towards mass destruction and insanity thanks to their [[LoveMakesYouEvil "Curse of Hatred"]]. [[spoiler:Even Obito, [[WhiteSheep the most decent guy among them]], ended up becoming a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds and Sasuke spent virtually the entire series in the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor. They saw themselves [[FantasticRacism as above the rest of the village]] and [[AmbitionIsEvil planned a coup d'etat despite being given more power than every other clan]] ''combined'' via being Military Police. They also believed they were unjustly prosecuted and discriminated despite being a well-beloved clan and the Second Hokage trusting them to have power over the other Clans. It's because of all of this that [[WellIntentionedExtremist Itachi]] agreed with his superiors the rest of his family [[SelfMadeOrphan had to go]].]]

* The Warthmongers in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Smurfs|1981}}''. They appear to be this way at first glance, mostly through the Smurfs coming into conflict with King Bullrush and his hunters. Thighs certain episodes show that there are Wartmongers who don't wish this sort of treatment on others such as the little Wartmonger Boggy who befriends Sassette. [[spoiler: His father, the captain of the Royal guard is revealed to be the Scarlet Croaker, an opposition of the king.]] Another episode shows an attempted rebellion against Bullrush. So it isn't so much that all Wartmongers are EVIL per se, but more they are complacent in their rule.

* The Warthmongers in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Smurfs|1981}}'', the only in-universe totally evil race.

* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' have their personalities dictated by five "Attributes" that form a TacticalRockPaperScissors system in the games; Data, Vaccine, Virus, Free, and Variable. Virus-type Digimon tend to be violent, with a thirst for power and domination with prominent examples being the Vamdemon variants or any with [[OurDemonsAreDifferent "devi"]] in their name. However, this trope is actually ''PlayedWith'' in terms of Virus-types. [[Anime/DigimonTamers Guilmon]] and [[Anime/DigimonGhostGame Gammamon]] are protagonist Digimon; despite both of them have a SuperpoweredEvilSide, the former has its ''natural'' Gallantmon Mega form as a Virus-type too and the latter's "SuperpoweredEvilSide" is actually [[spoiler:a ''different'' Digimon inhabiting his body]]. Others like [=BlackWarGreymon=] and Guardromon are {{Noble Demon}}s or had managed a successful HeelFaceTurn like ''Ghost Game's'' Mummymon. All-in=all, Virus types have an equal proclivity to goodness as they would with evil, and evil Vaccine-types (such as Cherubimon: Vice) and Data-types (like [[Anime/DigimonFrontier Dynasmon]] had existed.

** Orcs, in classical fashion, are portrayed as this. Every single orc is a savage and a rapist, with Kyril outright telling his soldier recruits that orcs exist to kill, so their job is to take them out without hesitation. Meanwhile, some people, like Olga and Vault, are shown to be able to ''bargain'' with orcs. One might infer that orcs can be reasoned with to a degree, [[SubvertedTrope bringing the extent of this trope being true into question]]... [[DoubleSubversion until you realise]] that the orcs do get something in return for their alliance -- the prospect of [[RapePillageAndBurn raping, pillaging, and burning]] a place/region (Loraine for Olga's deal; all the dark elves in the Black Fortress, as well as the whole kingdom of Eostia for Vault's deal).

--->''"The Hunter found more small camps, and killed off more of the greenskins. He slaughtered them without mercy, their cries for their gods sounding piggish in the coming dusk. Were they truly so reprehensible? He wondered if the orcish gods even heard their pleas for their aid.''

--->''He thought this as he brought down another greenskin with an offhand swipe of the Holy Moonlight Sword. Did the gods of this world create such creatures fit only to be despised and cut down like vermin? He probably would never find out the answers, standing here in the gore of dead orcs."''

* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureJojolion'' has the Rock Humans, a race of silicon humans who serve as the main antagonists. They are inherently antisocial, with parents abandoning their children almost as soon as the birth is complete. Baby Rock Humans infiltrate hornet nests, parasitizing the insects inside until the colony is completely dead. Grown Rock Humans take part in baseline human society for their own gain, and will take the first opportunity to lie or manipulate to get their way. Part of the reason the BigBad is so dangerous is that he's one of the few to convince a large group of Rock Humans to think long-term and share a common cause against baseline humanity.

Members of an Always Chaotic Evil race usually cannot qualify as a CompleteMonster no matter how intelligent they are, because being evil is a part of their job and thus they don't pass the moral agency test. The only exceptions are situations where this trope is {{subverted|trope}}.

[[folder:Anime and Manga]]

* The giants that Thor is fighting in ''Art/ThorsFightWithTheGiants'' are commonly seen as [[AllegoricalCharacter allegorical]] for general wickedness, Thor's battle against them being a mass-smiting of the evil that blights the world.

* ''LightNovel/BalancingMySupportMagicAndSummoningMagicInADifferentWorld'' has the monsters of the new world. Regardless of race, they kill, rape, and destroy, for seemingly no reason, whatsoever, even their own underlings. It is presumed they are artificial constructs because when they die, they disappear in a puff of smoke, leaving loot behind.

* [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent Goblins]] in ''LightNovel/GoblinSlayer''. Make no mistake, the goblins here are possibly [[NightmareFuel the most absolutely vile and depraved depiction]] of the standard fantasy goblin in modern fiction. Every goblin is without exception a self-obsessed and pitiless savage who would watch every other living thing on the planet die with a smile, including a fellow goblin. Adventurers captured by goblins can expect to be tortured, EatenAlive and, [[MarsNeedsWomen in the case of female adventurers]], [[RapeAsDrama raped]]. There is a conversation brought up from time to time about whether benevolent goblins exist or not, and interestingly enough, the eponymous Goblin Slayer himself -- who's a shameless full-blown SociopathicHero when it comes to killing goblins -- ''does'' actually believe that there might be goblins who aren't evil. But the way he sees it, if they ''do'' exist, they're likely to keep to themselves rather than seeking out any sort of interaction with humans in the first place, and his viewpoint is only reinforced by the sheer evilness of virtually every goblin the cast ever comes in contact with.

* The monsters in the dungeon in ''Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'' seem to qualify for it. They always have [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] and attack every adventurer they see with full aggressiveness. But they also have in common that they only have the intelligence of animals. The manga later also shows monsters with human intelligence and [[CuteMonsterGirl human shape]], and they can obviously also choose the good side.
