unmakers
Ones who demolish
Those who unmake—who destroy, dismantle, or undo what has been created.
The word carries more weight than simple destroyers; unmakers reverse the act of making itself: The unmakers of empires rarely appear in the history books.
Often used in fantasy literature for beings or forces that threaten existence at a fundamental level.
