Matador - Shin Megami Tensei Liberation Dx2 - Plus Animations 3D model

Matador, lit. Bullfighter in Spanish and Portuguese, is derived from the late Latin word mactator, which means to subdue or kill. It is also the name of the toreros (sometimes called toreadors in English-speaking territories due to the influence of Carmen) that perform in the bullfighting events famous in Spain. Matador is one of the toreros, and the word literally means killer, as it is the matador's job to kill the bull.Prior to the modern day evolution of bullfighting, however, the matador wasn't the star of the performance, but the picador. Their decline in popularity was due to matadors adding more flair into their trades, as well as the general gain of importance of commoners, as early picadors were usually nobles.
