The Bolas is the tool of the Tiger Miraculous.[1]
The current owner of the bolas is Juleka Couffaine, who uses it as the superhero Purple Tigress.
Appearance[]
When used by Purple Tigress, the bolas string is brilliant crimson, with three weighted, striped balls at the end in a triangle pattern. The balls are brilliant crimson on one half, and pale, light grayish fuchsia on the other half, which bears very dark cerise stripes, there are also three gold rings near where the balls attach. When not in use the Tiger Miraculous holder ties them around their waist as a belt and it functions akin to a Tiger's tail, attached by a golden ring as a buckle.
Abilities[]
Although it's unknown what the full abilities of the bolas are, just from its looks it's implied that, like Ladybug's yo-yo, Vesperia's spinning top, and Polymouse's skip rope, the bolas have unlimited length, they can be spun really fast to block attacks, they can grab, flail, and restrain opponents, Purple Tigress is shown doing this, swinging it around and using the weights to hit opponents; this is also a trait of real-life hunting bolas.

Trivia[]
- It's the third tool to be worn as as a superhero outfit accessory, after the Turtle Miraculous' shield and the Mouse Miraculous' skip rope, and followed by the Rooster Miraculous' fountain pen.
- Bolas with three weights are known either as Achico or Boleadora.
- Ironically, bolas originate from countries such as Argentina, Uruguay, and the Americas, all places where tigers don't naturally live. However, the bolas are a hunting tool, and tigers are a well-known predator, so it's possible that's where the link comes from.
- In real life, each ball of a bolas is attached to its own string. However, Purple Tigress has all three balls tied to the same string.
- It's unknown if the Tiger Miraculous holder can divide the three weights.
