Pummeler
A pummeler is a person or thing that delivers repeated blows, punches, or strikes. This can apply to combat situations, where the pummeler relentlessly attacks an opponent, but also more figuratively to describe forces of nature, machines, or even arguments that relentlessly batter or overwhelm something or someone. The defining characteristic is the repeated, forceful application of impact, resulting in the potential to inflict damage or cause disruption. The emphasis is on the repetitive nature of the blows rather than necessarily on their severity or intent.
