Tavros Nitram is one of the twelve troll characters in Homestuck. He is also known by his Trollian handle, adiosToreador. As described by his handle, the first component of his name is the Spanish word for “goodbye.” The second part of his name, Toreador, refers to the Spanish word for bullfighter, which fits his character as his own pair of curved horns closely resembles a bull. He is associated with the Zodiac sign Taurus, again carrying on the theme. When seen he is wheelchair bound due to a previous Flarping accident. His unique typing quirk involves replacing periods with commas, giving his speech the impression of stuttering and uncertainty.
