defilers

Those who desecrate

Defilers are people or things that corrupt, pollute, or make impure what was once sacred or clean.

The word carries moral weight—defilers don't merely damage but violate: defilers of sacred ground, defilers of innocence.

In fantasy gaming contexts, a defiler may be a specific character class that corrupts nature to fuel magic.
