Malacrianza (Spanish pronunciation: [malakɾi'ansa], lit.'bad upbringing') was a Costa Rican Brahman bull from the Guanacaste Province famous for participating in bullfighting. He made his debut in 2004 and is notable for having killed two bullfighters, which caused him to become a Costa Rican cultural icon.
