Development
Desolator was designed by Steve Redinger.
When teasing Desolator Play With This Too posted "Maybe we should reveal one of our monster designs next? We're thinking of a guy who doesn't PRETEND to be pure evil... He is pure evil."
Desolator's design was revealed at Retrocon 2014. His name was changed to Desolataur from a suggestion by Trent Troop.
