when bate-bolas attack another clovis band, they run while slamming forcefully the chained rubber ball on the ground, creating a loud and very unsettling noise. 

over time, the outfits evolved and incorporated new features, dividing themselves in specific subgroups such as 'ball and flag', 'fan and umbrella', 'doll and umbrella', 'hammer and ball'.

bate-bolas generally name themselves with terms linked to feelings and emotions, such excitement, sadness, humility, love, pain, and regret.
