Is Dung Eater a good person?

Is the Dung Eater, a character from the Soulsborne game Elden Ring, a good person?

Direct Answer
While the Dung Eater’s actions and backstory could be interpreted in many different ways, it can be argued that he is morally ambiguous and not inherently evil. However, the Dung Eater’s nature and motivations are so appalling that it is challenging to advocate on their behalf entirely.
The Dung Eater’s Backstory

The Dung Eater was once a respectable member of society who found himself in a life-saving situation. He consumed, or "eats dung," to survive after it grew up an underground organ infested with a pest the size of a handmaiden. This life-draining parasite is present every time he eats his precious dung. The loess soil, which seems perfect for growing crops, houses the pest.
