Every time people lament changes to the lore that amount to “not every member of species X is irredeemably evil” and claim the game is removing villains from it, I think how villains of so-caleld evil species fall into two cathegories: a) bland and boring and b)have something else, unrelated to their species going on for them, that makes them interesting.

Mindflayers are definitly evil (from humanoid perstective) because of their species. They eat and bread brains. And they are interesting.

Deekin is a great example of how an evil species (Lawful Evil Kobold) can make a great narrative.

I don’t think you necessarily need to have a whole species be one alignment for it.

Just having the culture of a specific community aligned a certain way (ideally with a reason) is more interesting than “all x do bad stuff because they’re bad and they like badness.”

Your game, your rules. That’s the beauty of it. I make everything up as I go along.
