    In that case I'd say you should probably contact someone about having evidence of a brand new species. Maybe see about collecting that cash reward for evidence of the supernatural for having an entity from another universe hanging around with you at the D&D table.

    I pose the title question: “Is it REALLY evil?” because I have recently confronted a mental hurdle that I’m unsure how to approach. You see, Feast kills indiscriminately as he sees fit in order to obtain food. The Orc is 8 feet tall and has quite a gut so is often hungry. His favorite food? Raw meat. He has killed several civilians and even ripped a little girl in half in order to obtain the food he desires (the latter situation has more variables that make it a somewhat confusing argument. I have details if they are desired).
    I fear for your safety, friend. This Feast fellow is probably going to eat you before too long.

    Then you should probably know that you don't have to play D&D with 8 foot tall man-eating humanoid monstrosities that are as liable to eat you as they are to roll to attack the darkness.

    Now, if this is about a player character, then you should also know that you don't have to approve of unsuitable characters. This is an obviously unsuitable character, unless you want to play a villainous game where the big stupid fighter actively tries to get them banned from towns and hunted down by anyone and everyone.

    <argument about D&D black and white alignment ensues>
    Tigers aren't moral entities in D&D alignment, so they're irrelevant.
