The term "malicious" often conveys not only the idea of gross animosity but also a subtle, scheming ill-intent that permeates both character and circumstance in literature. It is used to depict characters whose actions are driven by spite and vindictiveness, whether through overt wickedness or a quietly subversive sense of humor, as seen in portrayals of nefarious individuals and cunning tricksters ([1], [2], [3]). At times, it marks actions that are legally or morally reproachable, hinting at deliberate efforts to harm or manipulate others ([4], [5]). In other instances, the word acquires an almost supernatural aura, lending an air of otherworldly mischief or malevolent design to spirits, curses, or enchanted beings ([6], [7]). This versatility allows "malicious" to function as a powerful descriptor that enriches narratives by highlighting the darker, more complex aspects of human and cosmic intent.
