It might not comprehend that killing something in our multiverse is evil. Death as a concept might not exist in the Far Realm, and they might simply be curious, or wanting to talk to us, or wanting to merge and mingle and commune except our reality might not allow for their will to take place as it would in their reality, and instead they end up with bloody hands and bloody pseudopods and we end up a soupy, half-digested mess on the floor.Alignment might not exist in the Far Realm. From a game rules perspective anything can have alignment. Drop that notion entirely for a moment. Applying metagame alignment rules to something from the Far Realm might frankly be the same as seeking to determine a value for the height of a being that comes from a reality with different dimensional properties. Height might not exist for a 2d being, and would horrify and confound a being moving into a 3d world. Alignment might likewise have a similar disconnect between the reality of the Great Wheel and the Far Realms, and you can't rely on a blanket, monolithic application of game rules on such.</blockquote>
