He was captured as a wild horse and trained by Zorro. Toronado is a well-behaved and gentle horse around Zorro, but he becomes a wild, angry horse around Zorro's enemies. | ||

follow commands conveyed to him through eye signals and slight gestures. Toronado has instictively saved Zorro's life on numerous occasions. |
