“ Fighting, even this fighting against the Ten Deaths, changes a person. ”
The Ten Deaths are ten forms of creatures on Roshar, which include Midnight Essence. They are related to Odium, but unlike other void entities, they can appear even outside of a Desolation.[1]
It's uncertain what creatures other than the Midnight Essence classify as Ten Deaths, although thunderclasts might be among the remaining nine. They are potentially each related to one of the Ten Essences. It's also possible that "Ten Deaths" is a different name for the Unmade, although considering there are only nine Unmade, this might not be entirely correct.[2]
Another possibility, given the scarcity of information and Roshar's focus on the number ten, is that the Ten Deaths aren't specific creatures or types of creatures, but rather a poetic or allegorical name for the Voidbringers in general.
