decimators

Those who devastate

Decimators are people or things that destroy a large portion of something.

The word comes from the Roman military practice of killing one in ten soldiers as punishment, but modern usage emphasizes severe destruction rather than the precise fraction: The locusts were decimators of crops across three provinces.
