drowners
Those who sink
Drowners is the plural of drowner—one who drowns or causes drowning.
The word appears in fantasy gaming and fiction for water-dwelling creatures that pull victims under: The witcher hunted drowners along the riverbank.
Outside such contexts, drowner is rare, since drowning victims are simply said to have drowned rather than being called drowners.
