 A final way to recharacterize natural evil as moral would simply be to hold God alone morally blameworthy for it, since God created a world in which sentient creatures suffer so terribly. Obviously this would not be a winning strategy if the goal is a successful theodicy. Indeed, some theistic traditions block this route a priori by saying that it is conceptually impossible for God to do wrong: a perfect creator is either unbound by moral principles, or essentially incapable of violating them (see Murphy 2017).
