I assumed we were going by average human morality, if there is such a thing.
My memory is pretty hazy about Astra'ath, to be honest. I remember he was intimidating the other gods for shits and giggles when he first arrived, but to be fair, they were hostile to him from day one.
Remember that this is a being who's biology revolved around consuming an entire universe. They were severely depleted of power from movement through the void between universes so they had to be cunning to come out on top. They aren't just a ravening hunger-mad entity. They are a collection of highly intelligent beings acting as one mind to secure their own survival at the cost of anyone else.
They don't particularly care if they kill or hurt others, but they don't hurt people for the sheer joy of hurting people either.
But I appreciate the appraisal, I was just curious how others saw them.
FYI: The intimidation was a calculated action designed to polarize the gods into those who would oppose Astra'ath and those who would remain neutral. They knew nobody would help them, but if they could keep others neutral for long enough, or even secure some measure of trust from others like dragnar's god at the time, then their job of slaying everyone and consuming their entrails became easier.

Why is everyone looking at me like that?
