rampages

Tears through wildly

Rampages is the plural of rampage and also its third-person singular verb form.

A rampage is a period of violent, destructive, or uncontrolled behavior, often involving movement through an area while causing damage: The elephant went on a rampage through the village.

To rampage is to engage in such behavior.

The word suggests both physical destruction and a loss of restraint, whether describing animals, angry crowds, or metaphorically, things like wildfires or disease outbreaks.
