Chaotic evil

Chaotic evil is the alignment associated with unpredictable evil, creatures ruled by their basest, vilest instincts with little self-restraint.

Characters
Chaotic evil characters are ruled by their basest, most evil urges and rarely see much need to exercise self-restraint. Most often they are simply out to get whatever they want at that moment. However, some devote themselves to the spread of more insidious evil. Chaotic evil can be charming and urbane but brooks no resistance to its goals except those imposed by a stronger force. Even then, it schemes to remove the obstruction without any personal sacrifice. Typically, chaotic evil entities can only be kept in line by a stronger force above them. Thus, societies of chaotic evil creatures like drow and gnolls tend to be brutal, ruled by the most powerful individual. Religion is often a uniting factor with this alignment; what force is more powerful than a god?

Gods and Religions
There are no examples of such evil being worshipped. Chaotic Evil is truly maltheistic.

Outsiders
Demons are one of the extra-planar incarnations of chaotic evil. They derive sadistic joy from acts of cruel destruction, revelling in mortal pain and misery. Before the demons, the ancient and utterly alien qlippoth dwelt in the Abyss long before the existence of mortal life.
