(chuckles) Check this out. (chuckles) [Injury frontline.] Hello? [Can I help you?] Uh, yes. (chuckles) I've been injured. [You have?] Yeah, I've got a big crack in my butt. (chuckles for a while) That was cool.

Come on, it was just for fun! I mean, so you got a little bit of egg on your face, right? Nobody got hurt!
~ Josh Washington's reasoning for the prank on his friends (determinant).

Mischievous Villains or Instigators are evildoers who are playful, misbehaved, disrespectful, and/or childish, as they do not always seek outright harm on others but like to cause trouble where ever they go. Their crimes are more harmless stuff like stealing and littering, which means they aren't real threats to society in the same way a heroic rapscallion can be. If they do cross the line, they are likely to feel remorseful instead of just sadistic. Examples are Dark Truder, Heinz Doofenshmirtz, and Megamind.

However, mischievous villains can still be psychopaths/Sociopaths or even have zero redeeming factors if they are at least partly serious, serve as a formidable antagonistic force and often engage in high mischief and misdemeanor action (e.g. Eric Cartman and Alie Peters).

Even if they are not Pure Evil, please DO NOT add villains who simply make sneaky smiles a lot, taunt/mock/tease their foes in a silly way at times or come off with sinister prank surprises, as this DOES NOT automatically mean that they are mischievous by default (e.g. Black Hat, Ercole Visconti, Aku, Oogie Boogie, Red Skull, Fawful, Gallaxhar, Audrey II, Jevil, Loki, Professor Ratigan, Chris McLean, and Azula) as some of them can commit crimes too heinous to fit in this category since they would be played for total horror instead of laughs. These villains may instead go under Faux Affably Evil, Trickster, Sadists, and/or Thrill-Seekers if they're depicted in a more serious light.

Also, when villains play pranks in a far more dangerous, brutal, reckless, and/or lethal manner, they should go under the Tricksters, Sadists, and/or Thrill-Seekers categories instead (all of the following examples are Pure Evils but they don't have to be) (e.g. Junko Enoshima, William Wharton, Henry Evans, Dimentio, Dr. Robotnik, Green Goblin, Bill Cipher, Lucas Baker, Ghirahim, Randall Boggs, Dr. James Sheridan, and most versions of The Joker).

Mischievous villains are not meant to be taken too seriously (and don't even try to be); therefore, they cannot count as Pure Evil.
