Failing to find a baby, farm stock will be grabbed instead.Depending upon point of View, the Klingon Corebook for Star Trek Adventures casts the often-but-not-always antagonist Klingons as the party heroes.Classic Traveller's Alien Modules. AM 1, 2 & 4 are aliens who are, while not cast purely as villains, are not the usual protagonists. the others, tho...AM3 Zhodani is a recast of the evil empire of mind readers into a universal mental health capitalist paradise.AM6 Solomani is a straight out blend of Soviet and Nazi Germany tropes, except they are no longer discriminating against humans from Earth. & its direct colonies.. only from elsewhere. And it considers Genetic uplifted apes, dolphins & orcas¹ to all be second class. Oh, and uplifted Bears, too. Humans not from Earth² are not even as well thought  of as the genemods. AM5, 7, and 8 aren't actually cast as villains at all, save by the K'kree of AM 2, who think any meat consumers need to die.Hell, many human PCs in any edition are in the gray zone - Firefly has about the right tone. Good people doing bad things because they need to to be able to eat...all of the 40K RPGs are pretty much bad people doing bad things for a bad religious government...Bat-Winged Bimbos from Hell ... literally demons. The protagonists are literally bat-winged demons with ridiculously revealing garments... and a willingness to shed them and feast upon the unwary souls of men. It's a chunk of the Macho Women With Guns line. No male PCs allowed!¹: Last I heard, Orca were considered to be technically dolphins...  see <a href="https://us.whales.org/whales-dolphins/facts-about-orcas/#:~:text=Orcas%20(also%20known%20as%20killer,found%20in%20every%20single%20ocean" target="_blank">Facts about orcas (killer whales)</a>!²: It's a setting trope that humans were spread around 300000 years before the standard setting by the Ancients... and most of those colonial subservient groups survived when the ancients had a civil war)</blockquote>
