defaceable
Able to damage
Defaceable describes something that can be defaced—marred, vandalized, or have its surface damaged or disfigured.
Monuments, signs, and currency are defaceable; digital files and abstract concepts generally aren't.
The marble was too defaceable to leave unprotected in a public space.
