Line 10:
* They are not born, but made, Type 2: To become a member of the [[Exclusively Evil]] race, you must first prove your evil bona-fides. Notable examples include the various Fiendish races in the [[Planescape]] [[Dungeons and Dragons]] setting (whose reproduction is too complicated to go into here).
* They are not born, but made, Type 3: They are actually manufactured with Evil ends in mind. Notable examples include the various non-reprogrammed [[Terminator]]s (who are specifically manufactured with extermination in mind).
** They are not born, but made, Type 3.5: The evil is not intentional in the manufacture, but is merely an accidental byproduct of their components or design decisions. Notable examples include certain versions of Frankenstein's Monster, who are made with the brains of the Insane, and more than one case of [[AIA.I. Is Aa Crapshoot]].
* [[Made of Evil]]: The species is made of evil, or is in some way Evil because they are made of Evil parts. Notable examples include the Daemons from Warhammer 40k and Fantasy.
* [[Mind controlControl]] is involved: The species/race has some tie to the [[Evil Overlord]] that allows him to indirectly control them. This one has some degree of UnfortunateImplications, but at least makes it clear ''why'' the race in question is all the enemy. Notable examples include (by strong implication) the Orcs of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' (who ''immediately'' stop fighting once Sauron is killed, even though they couldn't know he was).
* Some kind of [[Hive Mind]]: Notable examples include the TyranidsTyrannids from Warhammer 40k.
 
Other kinds of justifications exist, these are just some of the obvious ones.
