The grappling boa was a whip like weapon used by the Theelin bounty hunter Latts Razzi to snare victims, tie them up, and hurl them about. The primary advantages of the weapon are its surprise quality as most opponents are likely to assume the item is nothing but a piece of clothing not an actual close quarters weapon. However the grappling boa also featured a number of negative attributes most notably its durable material and length meant that a user could easily be ensnared by their own weapon.
