Explanation

'Capricious' describes someone or something that changes suddenly and unpredictably, or is impulsive. Fickle, mercurial, and whimsical all capture this idea of changeability or unpredictability. 'Malicious' means intending to cause harm or showing ill will, which is about intent to harm, not unpredictability.
