changer

One who modifies

A changer is a person or device that changes something.

The word rarely stands alone—it attaches to what's being changed: money changer, record changer, game changer, oil change place.

A game changer is something that fundamentally alters a situation or field.

In fairy tales and fantasy, a shape changer transforms its physical form.
