It's all about perspective really, if you look at it from the perspective of the "bad guys" you could see that they might not be so bad after all. For example, if Infinity War was 100% from Thanos' perspective you would think the avengers bad and see his intentions are good, it's just that usually the "good guys" who don't look into the reasoning and just want to jump right into battle, same goes for Star Wars. This is why I think Smalls is the worst villain in the history of the land of the green ember.

@LukaDavid You seem to have two accounts. Do you think you could delete one? It's just confusing for when I'm trying to tag you.
@Ian G. I think that @LukaDavid meant in Morby's perspection
(Hmm. Do I really want to seriously debate this? Oh yeah.)
Do you actually consider Smalls a villain? If so...
Firstly, objective morality transcends personal ideas and perspective. Thus even though Smalls may be someone's enemy, that does not necessarily mean he is evil. Given Mr. Smith's background, I think he intends for objective morals to exist in his stories.
While morality is admittedly complicated in a world containing sentient animals, I would imagine the enslavement, torture, and murder of others, particularly their innocent youth, would seem to be indisputably evil.
Even if killing to eat is morally permissible, there are still many rabbits who kill their own kind in service of the Preylords, and also many of the killings the Preylords and wolves commit are not out of necessity. (Side note: good intentions do not excuse evil actions.)
So far as I know, Smalls has not done any of these things, nor has he commanded or condoned them.
And if the only law of life is "eat, or be eaten," (alternatively, kill or be killed), then no one is evil, no one is good, and we might as well be reading White Fang.
In short, I don't think Smalls is evil.
Anyways, glad to have you here, Luka! And I'm sorry if I just took something meant as a joke way too far.
Hi Luka. (Just saying that @LukaDavid and @Flynn-the-Gray-Warrior and I are neighbors. So Luka, you finally joined.
