Category:Monsters with Lawful Evil Alignment

The lawful evil alignment is the methodical, intentional, and frequently successful devotion to a cruel organized system.

Lawful evil characters methodically took what they want in life within the limits of their personally held beliefs. While they care about tradition, loyalty, and order they have little to no regard for the freedom, dignity or overall lives of others. They are comfortable within a hierarchy, willing to serve in an attempt to gain more power.

These people play by the rules, albeit without mercy or compassion, and only obey laws out of fear of punishment. While they wouldn't break a promise, they seldom "gave their word" or put themselves on the line, unless it would clearly help them come out ahead. Many lawful evil characters have personal codes of conduct that they self-justifiably circumvented, such as not personally taking a life in cold blood, but have underlings that kill without discretion. These "rules" served their selfish, twisted view on morality.
