actually Fleshlumpeater has honor, which is what makes it difficult to make him a CM.. think on all the years BFG has lived in Giant Land and while being bullied and hurt has never been murdered, Fleshlumpeater obeyed the "Giants Don't Kill Giants" code despite disliking BFG and since Fleshlumpeater was the de facto leader of Giants it's safe to assume he had a factor in the other Giants not murdering BFG.

Fleshlumpeater had no problem killing children but it's in the "blood" of Giantkin to be child-murderers, as dark as that sounds.. when the human army invaded he made a point to smash a few tanks and roar at them in anger but didn't kill adult humans (maybe he didn't fancy a fight with armed humans but considering he could smash tanks with ease it was more a case of "not bothered with adult humans, since they aren't prey").

Fleshlumpeater also become geniunely confused and angry at BFG for bringing the army to Giant Land, he didn't understand at first why BFG would betray Giants since in Fleshlumpeater's view all Giants (even weak ones like BFG) are meant to at least semi-tolerate each other.

When BFG tells Fleshlumpeater he's evil and he'd rather be human it makes Fleshlumpeater angry and he probably thinks "why did I bother keeping this weak runt alive all these years if this is the thanks I get?" - so he went on an attack..

as for targetting Sophie, that's kind of a mix of instinct (Giants are "coded" to hunt children" and revenge on BFG ("you take my brothers away, I take your child away").

so the fact he's essentially protecting his brothers and had kept BFG alive for years and only attempted to murder him after BFG basically gave him the middle finger shows while evil he's not quite "complete" evil.. he's also a rather primitive being, more caveman than smart serial-killer.
