A bolas is a type of throwing weapon made of weights on the ends of interconnected cords, used to capture animals by entangling their legs. This is the traditional tool of the Gaucho, although versions of it have existed since pre-Columbian times. In Real Life, the bolas is a tool of hunters and herdsmen, with only occasional use in actual warfare. However, in fiction, probably because it looks so spectacular in action, the bolas is often used as a combat weapon to take down foes, especially in visual media. Usually used to characterise warriors and fighters who personify You Will Not Evade Me, as a counter-escape tool. One advantage of the bolas is that allows for the capture of people without doing permanent harm to them, making it the perfect weapon for someone looking to Bring It Back Alive. Often extends into Rock Beats Laser territory when the bolas, which is stone age technology, is capable of taking down someone armed with a fully automatic firearm or even an Energy Weapon. Sister Trope to Battle Boomerang. See also Knows the Ropes for use of the lasso, the Western equivalent of the bolas. |

In Arkham Horror: The Card Game, a "Bolas" event can be used to essentially cripple "hunter" enemies; once the bolas gets thrown at them and ties them up, it not only penalises their evade stat, but also makes them exhaust each time they move, which makes them easy target. | |

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Bolas are specialist weapons, dealing minimal damage but rendering ensnared targets unable to take any action but try to escape. Most Careers that offer the necessary training either work with animals (like Horse Masters) or capture live humans (like Slavers and Witch Hunters). | |

In Return of the Jedi, makeshift bolas made of stones and ropes are among the primitive weapons used by the Ewoks. They're mostly used for incapacitating the Empire's ground troops during the Battle of Endor, with at least one random Ewok accidentally tangling himself with an ill-timed swing. | |

Mattimeo: Slagar the Cruel, The Heavy of the book, uses a bolas as his weapon of choice. He uses it both to attack and to intimidate. In the Animated Adaptation, he throws it at a wooden chair, shattering the chair to splinters, just to demonstrate what will happen to his slaves if they don't obey him. He later uses it to attempt a stealth kill on Matthias, though he fails. Subverted in that he's a Dirty Coward, and never uses his weapon in direct combat with anyone, instead running away when the heroes prepare to fight him. | |

In Batman: The Animated Series, bolas are one of Batman's many weapons in his war on crime. In some instances the bolas attach to a rope or line, permitting Batman to reel in the criminal after he has caught them, often leaving the criminal hanging from a height so the police can apprehend them with ease. | |

Saludos Amigos: In the El Gaucho Goofy segment, Goofy demonstrates how not to be badass with a bolas. American cowboy Goofy gets taken from Texas to the Argentinian pampas by the Narrator to learn the ways of the native gaucho. As part of this process, Goofy learns how to use the bolas to capture a rhea. After the bird is captured, the sequence is shown in slow motion to capture the "grace and beauty" of the action. But, the slow motion only reveals Goofy's clumsiness as he gets himself, his horse, and the bird tangled up together in the bolas. | |

In How to Train Your Dragon (2010), Hiccup builds a crossbow-like bola-throwing device in order to take down a dragon. Prior to Hiccup unveiling his crossbow, Gobber chides Hiccup for trying to join the other Vikings in defending the village from the attacking dragons, citing Hiccup's inability to wield hammers, axes, or even throw a bola, the bola in question being grabbed by another Viking and immediately used to capture one of the dragons mid-flight. | |

The Shortbow hero class in Conqueror's Blade has a Throw Bola skill—completely ignoring the fact that the bola is a South American weapon, while the Shortbow class is based on the fighting styles of Mongol horse archers. | |

In Death Stranding, the majority of the weapons you get are non-lethal (because dead bodies, unless they're properly disposed of, attract violent ghosts and trigger huge explosions). One of those non-lethal weapons is a crossbow-looking gun that shoots bolas, for quickly incapacitating human enemies by entangling them. And if you headshot someone with a bola, it'll knock them unconscious. | |
