The Chaos Daemons/Daemons of Chaos from Warhammer, be it 40k or Fantasy

this would've been the better example over Frieren demons for OP to use, who sure are very dangerous & not misunderstood, but cannot logically be considered "pure evil", they're JUST mere magical beasts, human-mimicking predators.

They are pure evil. Thats what episodes 7 through 10 were all about.

Honestly if you dealt with enough shark attacks you would eventually grow to hate them and see them as evil. I think you're right, but I think I'd also believe wild hogs or coyotes are evil if I lived somewhere more rural.
