What about digestion? Specifically, what about something like a locust/army ant swarm or maybe (to be more alien still) something like a high speed slime mold/the Blob that consumes organic matter across some large area but is also limited due to some combination of limited lifetime/running out of food/environmental limits?
During an outbreak it could consume organic matter in large quantities, but afterwards things could grow back - until the next time.
Another thought - on a world with more active tidal forces (moon of a gas giant perhaps) and a hotter core perhaps there would be more volcanic events and so mass destruction followed by renewal would happen more often.
Just some thoughts,
