The true evil on Oddworld was to be rumored Khanzumers, since they orginally started the Industerial world. They were the ones that opened their arms to all of the aggressive species looking for a home.
Now, that may not be true. In reality, all species on Oddworld are not evil, nor truly good. Vykkers are just in this because they want their knowledge to spread beyond anyone else's imagination. In fact, the so called "bad guys" are really just species locking themself into a battle of progression.
OK, want a better answer? The reason why there are species that seem to be selfish and greedy, is because when later on in history, Oddworld species that were close to each other began to have differences and they hated each other for having them. An example is Glukkons and Mudokons. The two species argued on ethics, beliefs, religion, etc. until one of the species tried to prove that they were right. These were called the aggressive species, being that they eventually developed a sense to join the Industerial family. Those species often targetted their occupations to the 'peaceful' races, since they were the ones that tried to remain sanity in true native beliefs. And now, you see through the eyes of 'peaceful' races, since they often care more about what is around them, than rather what is made. And in a way, they are trying to rid the other species of their evils.
