Death Bringer / Bringer of Death

[Ryo]

I'm looking for the translation of Death Bringer or Bringer of Death in a object sense. I've seen things like Angel of Death, Grim Reaper, Bringer of Death translations like Mortifer or Addonexus, but seemed like it's more appropriate for a person (Grim Reaper) rather than an object (ie AC-130, axe, etc). I didn't know if that would be a proper translation for an object. In sort the object can be the Bringer of Death / Death Bringer.

I plan to have the word engraved on a plaque for display so I would like to try to get it correct.

Knowing translators can make mistakes, I hope to see if you guys can give me some guidance.

Thanks in advance.

mortifer is fine as an adjective meaning death-bringing or fatal. To label an object, possibly res mortifera - death-bringing thing.

So "res" would be considered an thing.. (based on looking on.. yup you guessed it.. a translator).

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[Decimus Canus]

Yes, res means thing. Is the plaque for anything in particular?

 

[Ryo]

Nothing in particular. Trying to think of something nice to hang in the home office. Considering either a tomahawk or civil war era firearm. Just trying to come up with ideas.

You might consider instrumentum mortis - "instrument of death".

That's a good one. Thanks.
