Might not even know what the creature is, let alone that it's of good alignment.Ex:In the closing days of 3.5 I ran an adventure where the PCS ended up allying with a tribe of bullywugs.  Most of the players were (relitively) new so I don't think they realized that bullywugs  are evil.  Viscous yes, evil no.So they ally with the bullywugs.  In order to cement the alliance, the bullywugs want the pcs to go to an ancient ruin deeper in the swamp & kill or drive off the Pan Lung - so that they can return to thier ancestral home.  They agree.Now I KNOW that none of the players, even the more veteran ones, knew what a Pan Lung was. (It's a good Chinese Water Dragon & WAY above the pay grade of the party....)So off they go into the ruins.  They cause some destruction, they kill some of the Pans minions, & the Pan even tries to reason with them a few times in her human(oid) form.  Alas. It came down to hostilities.  The party going full out, the Pan, now in her true form, pulling punches against these poor saps who fell for a bullywugs sob story.Of course she won.After she won she even helped the party double-cross the bullywugs.But this is how a good aligned party came to trading blows with a good aligned water dragon.</blockquote>
