A bullfighter who specializes in planting banderillas (barbed spears with ribbons) into the bull's neck during a corrida.
Spanish, from banderilla plus -ero (masculine agent suffix meaning 'one who does'). Entered English directly from Spanish bullfighting terminology.
Banderilleros are the acrobats of the bullring—they have to run toward a charging bull and plant those spears with precision while dodging death; it's incredibly dangerous but less famous than the matador's final kill.
