Message: <blockquote data-quote="jgsugden" data-source="post: 7869035" data-attributes="member: 2629">Evil is not the product of action, but of intent.  Characters of all alignments end the lives of others of their own race... what matters is why they do it.Chaotic neutral creatures follow their whims, holding their personal freedom above all else. That is all it means.  It means that they don't care what rules you put in place as they serve their whims and desires, not out of a malicious intent, but out of personal desire. They do not lash out to hurt, but rather to please themselves.  If they're too greedy, bloodlusty, or hateful (with no regard to how it impacts others), they're CE, rather than CN, but if it is just pursuing their own pleasures and biological needs ... CN.As the emobiment of CN, Simple Red and Bue Slaadi seek to reproduce, to experience, and to follow their whims.  Their reproduction is horrific, but they do not relish in it... it is just the way of reproduction.  Hunting down humans to serve as hosts is no more evil than a wolf hunting people for food.  Green Slaadi are similar, but their dark devolution to evil, where they advance to Gray and then Death Slaadi takes them down a darker path.So, a group of slaadi might very well attack a small village, kill the fighters, and then implant those too weak to fight them off.  They do this to reproduce, not because it is fun.  They will not attack a village just to plunder the gold.  They will not murder children just to kill them.  They have a need, and they fill it, and they don't care that others say they can't do it.</blockquote>
