rampager

One causing havoc

A rampager is someone who rampages—who tears through a space causing destruction or chaos.

The word applies to violent individuals, rioting crowds, or anything that moves with destructive force: The rampager smashed windows along the street.

It can describe animals as readily as humans: The elephant became a rampager when spooked.
