Definitions
noun
- the principal bullfighter who is appointed to make the final passes and kill the bull
Examples
When the matador realises the bull is weak and unable to charge much longer he will reach for his killing sword and seek to manoeuvre it directly in front of him with its head down, so that he can administer the death stroke.
Then the first of three banderilleros (usually older bullfighters who form part of the matador's team) individually run towards the bull making him charge.
The run is a 825-metre stampede from the corral where the bulls are kept to the outdoor bullfighting arena where they will be invariably killed by matadors later in the day.
