Which portrait do you use for your species that are hell bent of purifying the galaxy of xeno scum? This is the one I use.
If you say that you don't have a purger species then stop lying.

So far my only dedicated Fanatical Purifier session used these- they were a hardy desert species that had evolved in an ecosystem where the only living things were them or closely related species. Reaching the stars, they were inherently incapable of understanding the "Other" and violently exterminated it whenever they encountered such.

I always love seeing backstory for empires!

Easily the most sinister portrait. I don't have creatures of the void, but even the Shadow expy in there doesn't reek the pure devilishness this baleful birdy does for me.

I'm also fond of using these, though, if I want a more humanoid look:

They will start on Earth and be the descendants of an extremist group who modified themselves genetically and subsequently waged a war against "ordinary" humans. When their society reached for the stars, they decided to continue their crusade in purging all inferior beings.

I have some premade cute races which are fanatic purifiers, just for the hilarious paradox. But when I do it, I use the Chirpy race. Their backstory features a brutal uprising, after they were forced to announce messages and status updates for their masters. After they slaughtered them all, they wanted to cleanse the galaxy from all other intelligent life, so that history may never repeat itself.
