[DF] Why not have some pure "bad guy" races in DF?

On the other hand why not make Shoggoths have real motivations like protecting their children and the elderly? Or demons who really feel that they only wanted independance of thought and because of that they were imprisoned in Hell? I guess in DF then these kinds of monsters would lose their coolness as bad guys and would instead be something that could be reasoned with. I think that is one reason I have always like the goblinoid races because they really didn't understand much besides force and brutality. It makes them different than "natural" races that like lizard-men.
