| '''Always Chaotic Evil''' is a slang term that [[/tg/]] has picked up from our frenemies over on [[tvtropes]]. The term originates from [[Dungeons & Dragons]], and specifically its early use of the mechanics of [[alignment]]. In the [[Monster Manual]], creatures would always have their "alignment propensity", the specific alignment that the "average" member of their species would have, listed as part of their statblock.

| The term has gotten a little unwelcome on /tg/ in modern years, as the basic idea that thinking humanoid races are somehow inherently evil and deserve only extermination is seen as being... well, a little too [[/pol/]]-friendly.
