The interrelation of the largely elongated nuclear shapes and clusterization is discussed by applying symmetry-adopted methods. 36Ar is considered as a specific example. In this nucleus the superdeformed band is known experimentally, and is understood from the joint conclusion of many different theoretical calculations. The hyperdeformed state, as well as the reaction channels to populate it, was predicted from cluster studies. Recent experimental data seem to justify these predictions.
