A skilled writer is able to make virtually any being sympathetic, "ugly"/monstrous or not. Godzilla is sympathetic even though he is a giant radioactive monster. Brave little toaster made people sympathize with a literal fucking toaster. Wall-E had people sympathizing with a rusty robot (and not even a humanoid one at that). People sympathized with Quasimodo from the Hunchback from Notre dame and he was ugly as sin. Let's not forget Shrek. The list goes on.


Also having a fictional race be a blatant stand-in for real life minorities but having the good/sympathetic members of that race look more like their oppressors while the evil members look more "monstrous"/nonhuman is rife with some pretty unfortunate implications(Eg. if demons = arabs, humans = (white) Americans but sympathetic demons look almost entirely like humans but evil demons look inhuman....)
