A picador was an individual who rode a domesticated mount beast, and kept order with mostly undomesticated beasts in a staged event, such as a fight, or an arena.

Geonosian picadors were drones who maintained control of the creatures and criminals in the Geonosis arena. The job of picador was one of the few positions of note to which a Geonosian drone could aspire. Drones of any caste could become picadors after they had proved themselves in the arena. Upon acceptance, the drones would learn the work of goading beasts and removing bodies. They used a sharp pike-like weapon to control beasts.

Behind the scenesEdit

A picador is one of a pair of horsemen, whose job it is to jab a bull with lances in the first of the three stages of a Spanish bullfight. Originally the main attraction in the early days of the sport, the picador became less popular and minor in function when assisting matadors began to sensationalize their originally minor supporting roles.
