Evil is a cultural view. The Daedra simply stand at a different...perspective than mortals. They see mortals as little more than tools or toys, often attempting to influence Mundus for no other reason than trying to fuck with the Aedra's shit.

Some do this in less sinister ways such as Sanguine and Sheogorath, only wishing to sow chaos and madness in ways that are usually harmless.

Some other are have much more malice such as Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon, and Boethiah, who take active pleasure in the killing of mortals.

Others still seek to work in much more, subtle, ways such as Azura and Noctural, whose direct influence is rarely seen.
