What you think you know:
Most monsters are Chaotic and probably evil to boot.
The reality:
Although the above is a given in this game, there are caveats.
1. All monsters with some exceptions value their own lives and will not want to fight anymore than you do unless they think they can quickly overwhelm you or they think you are too timid to fight effectively.
2. Since monsters value their own skins, they may be bluffed or bribed or negotiated with.
3. Some monsters will ally with you against a common enemy (but beware the backstab).
4. Trolls are mindless eating machines so fight, avoid or flee. (old trolls can be very intelligent, that only makes them more dangerous not less)
5. Beholders are insane and they are evil, don't let them ambush you.
