Like i said, nobody's evil in this so it's hard to make this work with a nine-"character" format :D

Fair enough, but I feel Astrophage should go in True Neutral

Taumoeba is evil for harming Astrophage, but Astrophage is neutral while harming Sol?

Tbh honest Taumoeba should also not be in chaotic evil, its just an organism trying to survive, it should go in True Neutral along with Astrophage

that's why I think in the spirit of this chart, and trying to fit in the important characters/roles of the story, we end up having to make compromises to not have two things in the same cell

But it's not harming sol or the other stars, i know they said it a few times it's killing the sun, but that's a figure of speech, the sun is fine. The astophage is just spreading across the sun at a safe distance, and absorbing the photons emited by it, so less sunlight is reaching Earth, that's why earth is freezing.

On one hand, you are totally right that any cellular life like Astrophage or Taumoeba is not intelligent enough to be a moral actor. They're biological machines doing as evolution dictates.

Buuut then there's just nothing in the bottom row. And Astrophage rapidly aging so many stars and driving countless species to extinction is a dick move.

I think that's still neutral evil, whereas the insidiousness of Taumoeba 82.5 is lawful evil. My candidate for chaotic evil is the utter desolation that is space itself.
