Biography

Past

Following the Magician 's survival after the events of Rayman Origins, El Luchador was one of the many Nightmares who rose to be a right-hand and leader among the other Luchadores. For the passed three years, El Luchador helped the Magician spread his control by invading one of the worlds of the Glade of Dreams, Fiesta de los Muertos, and took an advantage on capturing every Teensie to be imprisoned in cages and conquered it as its ruler. By then, he would become a champion of the arena where he compete against other fighters and win becoming famous.

Rayman Legends

Rayman and Co. arrived to Fiesta de los Muertos to find and banish the third Dark Teensy where they would later find themselves in the arena to meet face-to-face with the ruler and champion himself. In the first round of the fight, El Luchador uses his slam and swipe attacks to instantly attempt to defeat the heroes which they avoid these attacks to use a champibumper to jump on and slam him in the head. The second round begins with the heroes now on smaller plans to use each one to be hit by their opponent until another champibumper appears and used for them to jump and slam El Luchador 's head the second time.

In the third and final round of the match, El Luchador destroys the platform forcing the group to glide while dodging waves of lava roots and fireballs while again still dodging his attacks. This will go on until a third champibumper appears just in time for the heroes to jump on the giant's head and slam on him the final time. El Luchador takes much damage that he becomes weakened and falls over, having been defeated by the heroes thus losing not only his rule but also his championship to them. With El Luchador defeated, the third Dark Teensy was eventually banished to a moon where the two other Dark Teensies were tortured and now too gets tortured by the inhabitants.
