damager

One who breaks

A damager is someone or something that causes damage.

The word is uncommon, since English typically uses other constructions: the storm damaged the roof rather than the storm was a damager of roofs.

When it does appear, it's usually in legal or technical contexts identifying a responsible party: The court found the company to be the primary damager.
