I would say that Hano probably bites and scratches, a lot of art using Hano-clowns depicts them either glutting themselves or playing with kids' toys. MudHead is huge, I think, and he gets all smashy with his maracas. He also has eyes in the back of his head. And since his eyes, ears and mouth are all the same weird clay doughnut-shape, maybe he has eyes on the sides of his head too. *shrug*

I was feeling lazy and lacking energy most of the day when a series of unusual moods came upon me. First was the urge to draw up a nightmaren design for no particular reason and no intended purpose. I've only drawn OC nightmaren twice before, when I was memed and when I was making a character for a livejournal role play com, and both those times it was kind of like 'Eh... uh... I guess I should draw something... figure out what you look like...' So after the initial plan to draw a nightmaren, which was unusual in itself, I then decided, unusually, to make a Hano-clown nightmaren. It's not the first time I've encorperated native visual themes into a popish design, but usually I work with Pacific Northwest imagery (think totem poles) because that's what I'm surrounded by most of the time. *Shrug* I was probably thinking of the Hano-clown body-paint on Gaia, honestly. The next unusual thing was that I decided I wanted to draw on paper; I don't do a lot of that these days, most of my art happens entirely on the computer. So as I started drawing Hano, I decided that I would need to have a Mudhead too (Hano-clowns and Mudheads are two types of "sacred clowns" of the Hopi natives, and the two most often depicted in art bits, in my observation and Google's.)

I love Hano; he reminds me of a capeless Jackle! I knew nothing about Hano-Clowns or Mudheads before your post, so thaks for sharing.
