Let's not forget that the Quagoa were totally going to genocide the dwarves, and not for any particularly good reason like the dwarves being bloodthirsty maniacs who did little other than plotting to kill everyone else.

This is Overlord. If Pe Riyuro had been a bit more willing to grovel in the face of over overwhelming strength, he could have preserved his nation intact. He said something like, "If you were that strong, you should have said so in the first place! Why, why didn't you tell me!"  But the fact is that Shalltear and Aura DID tell him, he just thought they must have been insane.

Not that Aura and Shalltear weren't just a tad enthusiastic about the prospect of wiping out tens of thousands of comparative weaklings.

Of course, if they had been humaniods, Ainz would demonstrably have gone to greater lengths to spare a larger proportion of them. That's just a matter of bad luck for them, that Ainz guesses that most players won't object too greatly to them being violently subjugated for a fairly minor hesitation to submit utterly.
