desolators

Those who devastate

Desolators are those who bring desolation—people or forces that lay waste, destroy, or leave places barren and lifeless.

The word appears in religious and literary contexts for conquerors, invaders, or divine instruments of destruction: The desolators swept through the land, leaving nothing but ash.

In gaming and fiction, desolators are often weapons or units designed for mass destruction.
