[QUOTE="dwayne, post: 8028822, member: 25437"] Is an animal evil or good, no they do what is in their nature's to do, an animal raised around humans and becomes friends with one accepts him as one of them. But will still attack others it is unfamiliar with depending on it's disposition to do so, some may be more naturally aggressive other maybe not so much. This too could be a product of environment and up bringing and being taught to see the world a certain way. As to orc's chaotic evil as to survival of the fittest, much like a natural animal would but smarter. Generations of this can bring then to odds with other cultures that are dynamically opposed to their views and traditions of their culture. But even so the others such as elves would see them as brutish and uncouth a lower life form just one step or two removed from animals at best. elves would feel that they are better than those beasts and would have no troubles killing all of them. Much like a Hunter killing a wild cat for eating his live stock or endangering his family because of it encroaching on to his lands. Humans would more than not share this view in many ways as the elves, but also would view the elves as distant and aloof due to their long view of life and attitude that they are above the younger race and view them as rash and short sighted. So are any of these evil as a whole no not any, it is a cultural aspect and the difference of them that mostly puts them at odds. As there is more than not many of the orcs encountered are the evil ones as they would love the destruction and doing the evil unto others, as to elves it may more subtle and hidden from others of their kind and not as obvious.
