In the games

• Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow: Marowak was killed by agents of Team Rocket, leaving a Cubone as an orphan. With the Silph Scope, its ghost could be seen in Pokémon Tower. After being KOed in a battle, its soul finally managed to rest.

In the anime

Marowak first appeared in EP073 under the ownership of Otoshi, who had recently got his gym badges stolen by Team Rocket. The Marowak left Otashi because it felt that if he lost his badges; he lost the respect Marowak had for him. Marowak finally decided to come back and help its trainer when he battled Team Rocket to get his badges back.

Luana, the Gym Leader of Kumquat Island, used a Marowak and Alakazam against Ash's Pikachu and Charizard in EP108.

During the first round of the Hoenn League in AG127; Morrison's opponent, Gavin, used a Marowak and Machamp against Morrison's Gligar and Growlithe. Gavin's Marowak defeated Morrison's Growlithe and was defeated by Morrison's Gligar.

In AG175, a Pokémon trainer used a Marowak in a fake tournament that was created by Team Rocket.

Name origin

Marowak's name might be a combination of marrow and whack. Garagara may be taken to mean がらがら, clattering. It is worth noting that garagara denotes heavier clattering than karakara.
