Near Pure Evils with Impaired Agency are villains who have minor moral agency complications which prevent them from qualifying as Pure Evil, yet still have at least some limited understanding of morals and are intellectually superior to animalistic and mindless entities. These villains willingly embrace their villainy, have a defined personality and are motivated to do evil by their own desires rather than instinct. This counts as a small mitigating factor.

This category is a tricky one. You can suspect a Near Pure Evil qualifying for this if you observe this:

1. The villain is laser focused on a very specific goal, and rarely even says a sentence or moves a muscle to divert from that goal. On the opposite extreme, they could have no focused goal at all and every sentence they say and muscle they move is for a different goal. If it seems unnatural for their behavior to be this way, there may be an outside force that has led them to it such as the following: being brainwashed/possessed, corrupted by more evil villains, swore a certain type of vengeance for what anyone good or bad may have inflicted upon these Near Pure Evil's or being made out of evil. However, these Near Pure Evil Villains go towards extreme lengths to end up being the way they are making their past make them left off the hook too well, which goes to show just how dangerous someone can be with their minds effected negatively by only simple and little alterations.

This also includes some Psychotic or Mentally Ill villains whose terrible views of reality actually affect their morals (e.g. Annie Wilkes, Eddie Low, and Jevil).

Also, there can be some debate as to how questionable their amoral self can be, as they seem to have some understanding of right and wrong. The main reason why this amoral category is an exception for Near Pure Evils is because how close they are to understanding the difference between right and wrong while animalistic amorals have hardly ever any knowledge of it.

Good examples of morally impaired villains are Professor Pericles, the Negativitron, Doma, Dark Matter, Darth Nihilus, Kid Buu, Sergey Taboritsky, Vaneé, Nightmare, Sigma, and Yaldabaoth.
