The word toreador is used in English to designate the main performer of Spanish-style bullfighting, who taunts and kills the bull. This word, which roughly translates as "bull handler", is not used in Spain or Latin America, where that role is called matador ("killer") or torero. The Toreador Song from Georges Bizet's opera Carmen is a famous treatment of bullfighting.
The Toreador are also a fictional clan of vampires, associated with the White Wolf Game Studio's Camarilla. See Toreador (World of Darkness).
