Everyone is morally ambiguous at best, or outright fascist and xenophobic at worst ... except for the Klingons. They are exactly the same.

Klingons are chaotic neutral. The mirror of chaotic neutral is still chaotic neutral.

I don't think that's true. Quark is nicer, but his nephew is worse.

I'd say Klingons like to think they're lawful neutral, but they're really chaotic neutral. They talk a big game about honor and the words of Khaless and all that bullshit, but most of them don't seem to follow it.

I can't remember, but I think it's at least implied that Ferengi are more altruistic. I don't know if it's outright stated though. Quark is nicer and Rom has actual convictions about the rebellion. It could just be another case of the mirror universe governments having broken down their race so much that they are desperate.

It's hard to peg the Klingons down because DS9 and TNG really expanded them. As much as you often hear fans saying that the reality is that there are no Klingons like Worf's 'ideal Klingon', that isn't true either. Martok, Worf, and Kurn were all heroic. Gowron was clearly chaotic. Koloth, Kang, and Kor were more neutral in their final portrayal. K'mpec wasn't exactly 'good', but was more of an anti-hero since his motivations were good. Then you have straight up evil Klingons like the House of Duras.

Technically speaking, not all of them had goatees. Worf, for example, has a Ghengis Khan style beard. Some have Fu Manchus. Some have full beards. IIRC, there may even be a few that are clean shaven. It's pretty rare, though.
