* [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Angels]] and [[FallenAngel fallen angels]][[OurDemonsAreDifferent /demons]] in a lot of {{works}}, though in the TheBible they're the same species, just on different sides.

* Fairies versus Antifairies in ''TheFairlyOddparents''.

** Lilithmon to Seraphimon

[[caption-width-right:293:Pictured: The general Drow(Dark Elf) greeting reserved for Surface Elves in ''The Forgotten Realms''.]]

* ''WarhammerFantasy'' has both High Elves vs. Dark Elves (with both being highly magical naval oriented empires who hate each others guts... Oh, and incidentally humans usually can't tell them apart.. And the dwarfish counterpart Chaos Dwarves (who are even more greedy than the regular variant) arguably the Vampire Counts also serve as a twisted reflection of Empire society, and the Beastmen serve a similar role for the Wood Elves.

** Within [[{{The Federation's}} TheFederation]] evil counterpart, [[{{The Dominion}} TheEmpire]].
*** The Changelings to The Prophets (nigh-immortal, extremely alien beings with no concept of individuality worshiped as Gods)

** Not forgetting [[{{the Pah-wraiths}} OurDemonsAreDifferent]] to [[{{the Prophets}} OurAngelsAreDifferent]].

** Within [[The Federation's TheFederation]] evil counterpart, [[The Dominion TheEmpire]].

*** The Vorta to Bajorans (worshipers of the alien "Gods")

** Not forgetting [[the Pah-wraiths OurDemonsAreDifferent]] to [[the Prophets OurAngelsAreDifferent]].

* [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Angels]] and [[FallenAngel fallen angels]][[OurDemonsAreDifferent /demons]] in TheBible, though this is often {{Averted}} and {{Subverted}} in {{works}}.

* Not a race but rather a religion, the [[HonorHarrington Honorverse]] has the two worlds which follow "The Church of Humanity Unchained:" Grayson, which is mostly just "heavily conservative", and Masada, which is violently misogynistic to the point of {{Complete Monster}}dom. It was an ugly schism.

** Also in ''StarTrek'', the Romulans continually try to do this with the Vulcans, who don't really give a shit.

Two races, one AlwaysLawfulGood and one AlwaysChaoticEvil, which are specifically counterparts of each other. Essentially a EvilCounterpart on a species wide scale, and related to CainAndAbel and other sibling rivalry tropes.

While ElvesVsDwarves is about HarmonyVersusDiscipline, this is about good and evil, at least from the elves' point of view. From other points of view, YourMilageMayVary. Often subverted by a DefectorFromDecadence or deconstructed when it's discovered that the 'good' race is NotSoHarmless, or the evil one has a case of MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch (or is [[DarkIsNotEvil merely dark and not evil]]).

* Green Martians like the MartianManhunter J'onn J'onnz are wise, peaceful, and obscenely powerful. White Martians have all the powers of their green cousins, but are monstrously evil (with, to date, a single exception).

* Daxamites are descended from [[{{Superman}} Kryptonian]] colonists, and gain the same powers at the same levels when exposed to the light of a yellow sun (though they're vulnerable to lead instead of [[KryptoniteFactor kryptonite]]). Unlike Superman, Supergirl, Power Girl and other Kryptonian heroes, though, Daxamites are rabidly xenophobic, to the point of murdering an alien who accidentally crashed on their planet, When a Korugarian Green Lantern helped liberate them from an alien conqueror, they merely demanded she leave the planet rather than killing her, as a show of gratitude.
