Toronado (occasionally Tornado) is a horse ridden by the character Zorro in several movies and books. Toronado is referred to as a black Andalusian in the movie The Mask of Zorro, however in filming a Friesian plays the role. Toronado is said to be very intelligent and very fast. His name is pronounced in the Spanish way, "tor-NAH-do" (except in The Mask of Zorro). Being as jet-black as Zorro's costume enables horse and rider to more easily elude capture at night.
