They believe they are more important than the systems and structures they may be part of. They break rules and follow the strongest. Someone who can’t hold power has no right to it. Demons want to shatter all bonds and enjoy and endless orgy of violence/debauchery etc.Lawful Evil devils do whatever they can get away with. They see the system as more important than the individual freedoms but want to be the one in charge of the system. They may resent the commands of a person who has been placed above them and seek to subvert them, but they will generally obey them. Devils want the whole multiverse to conform to their rigid hierarchy. One of cruelty and punishment that echoes their own misery.Neutral Evil creatures don’t care about the rights and structures of other groups. They don’t have ideology they only care about the evil. Yugoloths do more than just fight for each side in the blood war, they perpetuate it... profiting as they go. They are the ultimate profiteers. They also aren’t just hungry for wealth, but also power and knowledge. They do whatever they need to do in order to gain it, not caring who they work with. Same with Hight Hags.Shinra from FF7 are a good example of neutral evil. Yes they have structures and organization but they would burn it all down in an instant if it got them what they want. They literally don’t care about anybody else. They lie when it suits them, kill when it suits them but still use structures because they are convenient.Alignment isn’t a straight jacket, it’s a general method of indicating how a multiverse of creatures might respond to ideas like society, strength and freedomsRead some of the books on the Drow, particularly war of the Spider Queen. It covers a lot of the debates on what Chaotic Evil means and has examples of Neutral Evil creatures. It also explains how an ostensibly ordered society can follow a demon lord.</blockquote>
