shatterer

One who fragments

A shatterer is someone or something that breaks things into pieces, whether literally or figuratively.

Glass, windows, and ceramics have physical shatterers, but the word appears more often in figurative contexts: a shatterer of dreams, of illusions, of records.

The term emphasizes the violence or completeness of the breaking—not merely cracking or damaging, but destroying utterly.
