The Aevis are just a part of a collective known as the "Horde", which is basically everything and anything that aligns itself with the Dragons. They're more officially known as the "Dragon Horde of Dravania."

Puks, Aevis, Drakes, Wyrms, Wyverns, Dragons, even corrupted people are members of the Dravanian Hordes, which I believe is interchangeable with "Dragon".

Dragons actually have a very interesting concept behind them, though the following pertains to the Dragoon storyline, so, spoilers. Now, I ran through the Storyline a bit ago, so I might not have everything 100%, but...

Show Content
Spoiler While we don't know the full story, one might be able to argue that Dragons aren't necessarily as evil as they are portrayed to be. You eventually learn that a large part of a Dragoon's power literally comes from the Dragons themselves (surprise), and that power has the potential to corrupt a Dragoon and turn them over to the will of the Dragons. In the Dragoon storyline case, it's Nidhogg.

You learn that the reason why your mentor gave up his station as the azure dragoon was because he couldn't bear the burden of having a mental connection to the Dragons, specifically Nidhogg. He mentions that behind all of Nidhogg's anger and rage he sensed and incredible amount of agony and suffering, and that it has only increased over time - thus having a direct correlation to his rage.

I feel like it's hinted that Ishgard did something atrocious at one point in time to the Dragons, thus incurring their wrath. They've only continued to instigate and prod at that wound, making things deteriorate even worse over time. We've seen that the twelve supposedly entrusted Dragonkind to guard Silvertear, arguably the most important site in all of Eorzea. Makes you wonder if they're all that evil if they're supposed to be the ones guarding what is basically the lifeforce of Hydaelyn itself.

As far as Bahamut is concerned, I also have a crazy fringe theory that he isn't as evil as he's portrayed to be, either. I won't get into that here, as that has binding coil of Bahamut spoilers, but yeah.
