== Stadium 2 Pokedex Entry ==
<_< Pretty sure Marowak only has '''one head'''. --[[User:Dual|Dual]] 13:59, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
:Looks like someone pasted {{P|Dodrio}}'s entry there by mistake. [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 18:02, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Is it really necessary to link EVERY mention of the word 'boomerang' to Bonemerang? --[[User:Gastly's Mama]]

== Marowak's inital attack stat is doubles by Thick Club, not it's base stat! ==
So, if it was the be mesured by a base stat, it would be as high as about 210. --[[User:Gorebyss|Gorebyss]] 11:31, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Can't we just say that Marowak had the most signature moves UNTIL generation 4, where Lucario eliminated Bone Rush, and Porygon-Z and Vespiquen gained 3?

Or something along those lines. It doesn't make sense, as Lucario was even technically introduced BEFORE gen 4 and PZ and Vespiquen?[[User:Vib|Vib]] 23:29, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

== Grammar ==

In the Origin section, "it's" should be "its."--[[User:Trebligoniqua|Trebligoniqua]] 18:07, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Is it noteworthy that the appearance of Marowak in the Lavender Tower is the only wild Pokémon that cannot be captured?--[[User:Skaisdead|Skaisdead]] 18:46, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

==Trivia, again==

"When holding the Thick Club, Marowak can reach a maximum Attack stat of 568. This is the highest attack stat obtainable without the assistance of stat-enhancing moves, abilities, or berries." I removed that because a bunch of Pokemon with a Choice band can surpass it and some Pokemon with Life orb as well. It was reverted because Thick club is Marowak specific, which makes it notable. However there is {{tt|only one other|Light Ball}} species specific item riases attack, is it really notable that of the 3 Pokemon that have a species specific attack raising item, Marowak has the highest attack? Or am I missing something? [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 17:58, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

== More Trivia ==

"It is possible to have a Marowak with an attack of 568 if the Thick Club is being held, while having max EVs and IVs in attack, plus a nature that raises its attack."

Is this really noteworthy? Clamperl doesn't get a trivia statement about the use of a DeepSeaTooth.

== Hawaiian Night Marcher ==

could the Alolan origin be based off the hawaiian night marcher mythos?[[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 18:40, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

== Alolan Evolution ==

It has come to my attention that you must have your Happiness high/possibly max on a Cubone before evolving it at level 28 at night. It cannot just be, as stated, to level it to 28 at night. I have experimented with this myself in Pokemon Sun. I don't know how this hasn't been listed before, but almost nowhere else on the internet mentions it either.--[[User:AtomicBugg|AtomicBugg]] ([[User talk:AtomicBugg|talk]]) 03:48, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

== Death ==

Has anyone here ever given thought that in the anime and the games, that Pokémon can't die. Even in the movie, {{p|Celebi}} is revived. But here Marowak and Cubone wear the skulls of their DEAD mom. Am I the only one seeing this inaproppriate?--[[User:Machamp ion|Machamp ion]] 16:41, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
:...yes Pokémon can die...just not in gameplay, and occasionally in the anime. Latios, Lucario, and Darkrai are all dead. Also, in order to become a fossil, you need to die, and we have lots of Pokémon brought back through fossils.
:Pokémon can die. You, the player, just can't make them die yourself.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 17:04, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
::Well Lucario didn't DIE DIE, he just is in suspended animation. But I toatoly forgot about Latios, but how did Darkrai die? He didn't even make an appearance yet and he's dead? Whoa cruel.--[[User:Machamp ion|Machamp ion]] 17:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Latios "sacrifices himself" to block that tsunami Annie and Oakley made. I'm pretty sure Darkrai ends up dead, anyway...--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 17:21, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

:I see you're all forgetting the most obvious death of all. The Marowak in Pokémon Tower. [[User:System Error|System Error]] 22:18, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
::And all of the other graves in Pokémon Tower. -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 22:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
:What gets me, personally, is that you can breed Cubone from other Cubone and I assume - though I haven't done it yet - that the mother doesn't die in the process. So, whence the skulls? But that's the same complaint as "whence the other two Magnemites?" and "whence the other Beldum, and then the other Metang?" - a quibble, more than anything else. (I assume the following is a signature. I've forgotten how to edit things.) --[[User:Kadrin|Kadrin]] 12:47, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
::The problem with Cubone is that the backstory it is given works for the one Cubone in the plot of Red and Blue but would be terribly inefficient if applied to the whole species. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 14:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
i took that backstory with a grain a salt. [[User:Boywonder01|'''Boy''']][[User talk:Boywonder01|'''wonder''']][[Special:Contributions/Boywonder01|'''01''']] 14:57, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

::And besides, put Darkrai under Celebi. He's been revived too.[[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]][[User talk:BlueJirachi|WishMaker]] 14:59, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

::Isn't it possible that it's refering to the skull the mother used to wear as a Cubone, as opposed to say, its' actual skull? It's entirely possible and heck, even more likely that the mothers simply pass their old skulls down to their children as Marowak don't wear them any longer. The alternative would be Cubone being sad for it's mother, but then deciding to cut her head open and steal her skull to parade around as a fancy hat. The pokedex entry was likely referring to that one Cubone as far as the dead mother parts, but maybe not quite the way it sounded with the skull. -[[User:Flameblight|Flameblight]] 14:29, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

== The Skull ==

Ok, we know it wears the skull of it's dead mother, but which skull does it wear. Does it remove the helmet it's mother is wearing, or does it wear the skull right out of its mother's head?

If it wares the skull helmet of its dead mother, then if its mother is a Marowak someone (in the Pokémon word)surly must have seen a Cubone wearing a Marowak helmet unless they evolve straight to a Marowak.

If it wears the skull out of its dead mother's head, then the inner skull of a Cubone and/or Marowak must be shaped like the Skull helmet of a Cubone. That mean that even if the Cubone evolves, the helmet has only changed in the evolution and the skull in its head is still the shape of a Cubone Helmet.

So which is it. The helmet or the actual skull? [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 21:56, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
:My input here, but am I the only person who things would be a little... err, too grim for Nintendo if Cubone actually, at birth, rips open its mothers head, tears off it's skin, and rips out its skull, then wears the blood covered skull on its head? [[User:Takoto|~~Takoto]] - [[User_talk:Takoto|サソデイ]] 22:12, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
::Since Marowak is the Bone Keeper pokemon, I'd guess it probably holds onto the skull it wore as a Cubone somehow which gets passed down like an heirloom from mother to child or something. The mother Marowak may not ever actually WEAR her old skull anymore so much as just keep it...somewhere on her person and that boney-looking head is actually just that, the head since we've seen it move its' lower jaw when Marowak appear in the anime and it seems to be part of the upper gray head, unlike Cubone who has a separate-looking brown lower jaw. Just a guess though.--[[User:Flameblight|Flameblight]] 05:21, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

== I just realized... Oh my god It's true! ==

Or is it? I wouldn't know. Anyways, you ought to check this out, if it's true it's '''definately''' notable. LOOK!!! [http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=dmcs95&s=3] --[[User:Gen1king|'''GE''']][[User talk:Gen1king|'''N1''']][[Special:Contributions/Gen1king|'''KI''''''NG''']] 12:06, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

:It is unconfirmed, but it is heavily rumored among the fandom that cubone evolves to kangaskhan, and thus is worth mention. [[User:Mikkim|Mikkim]] 05:10, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
:Except looking at their bulbapedia entries, neither of those sprites are there.'''{{Colored link|:User:Origamiguy|f80|Lord}} of {{Colored link|:User_talk:Origamiguy|f80|Ori}}{{Colored link|Special:Contributions/Origamiguy|fb0|gami}} [http://myfreegadget.blogspot.com/ :)]''' 14:46, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
I,ve heard of this theory from many places, we could say somthing like "It is a populer theory amung fandom that cubone is an orphaned Kanghaskhan whose evelution was alterd due to the skull it placed on its head". If not could the Orphan/Baby Kangaskhan theory at least be put in the fandom section under Fake Pokémon (it is definatly worth noting). [[User:EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 19:00, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

:I read somewhere that there was apparently an interview with Satoshi by Nintendo Power where it was mentioned that a Cubone->Marowak->Kangaskhan evolution line was the original idea until they decided Kangaskhan would be better stand-alone. However, those sprites in that picture are fan-made. Also, most of the official artwork I see of Kangaskhan shows that her baby is gray.[[User:Scorponis|Scorponis]] 01:36, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

== A pretty decent look at its face? ==
I was just made aware of a set of cards released by Bandai in 1997 with unique art done by Sugimori. Cubone's can be seen here:
http://iaza.com/work/110221C/iaza11848284936800.jpg

Source here: http://community.livejournal.com/prtcg/8417.html
This is, to my knowledge, the best look at its face that I've ever seen. The fact that it was illustrated by Sugimori would lend some credibility to it being canon - could this be implemented in the article somewhere? [[User:Silverlucario|Silverlucario]] 08:59, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

== German meaning ==

<<A combination of [...] and oss, a form of the Latin word for bone>>.
Actually in the declination of the latin os, ossis there is no oss... I think it does not actually comes from there--[[User:CiaobyDany|CiaobyDany]] ([[User talk:CiaobyDany|talk]]) 20:56, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

== Elephant ==

Could one of its origins be the elephant? Elephants are large and formidable creatures and therefore are hard to take down, like a Cubone and Marowak due to their high defense stat. They are also one of the most powerful creatures alive today similar to how Marowak currently has the highest attack capability. The biggest similarity between Cubone's family and elephants are their reactions to death. It has been shown that elephants are vary sensitive to the death of their family or even others of their own species and have some kind of feeling to bones of dead elephants. In one particular examination of elephants a matriarch of a family of African elephants died devastating them all, but most surprising of all her calf began to weep and scream at the dead mammal as a Cubone is said to do in numerous pokedex entries. Also in the crystal pokedex entry for Marowak it references a mass Marowak graveyard hidden in the world a reference to the modern myth of the elephants graveyard. {{unsigned|Toymoo}}

== Potential trivia? ==

The inroduction of Alolan Marowak makes Cubone the only other Pokemon besides Eevee that can completely change its typing upon evolution. [[User:TheFatPanda|TheFatPanda]] ([[User talk:TheFatPanda|talk]]) 04:40, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
:If it's no longer unique, it's not notable--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:57, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
::My input: I'd say it's notable, it would just need to be reworded, like "Cubone's type changes completely upon evolution." As long as we don't write anything saying it is the only one apart from Eevee, I think it's fine. As per the trivia policy: "Information widely considered being interesting that does not fit into another section of the article." --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 02:03, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

== Alolan Evolution ==

It has come to my attention that you must have your Happiness high/possibly max on a Cubone before evolving it at level 28 at night. It cannot just be, as stated, to level it to 28 at night. I have experimented with this myself in Pokemon Sun.

'''Marowak''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガラガラ''' ''Garagara'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cubone}} starting at [[level]] 28.

In [[Alola]], Marowak has a [[regional variant]] that is {{2t|Fire|Ghost}}. It evolves from Cubone when leveled up with high [[friendship]] at [[Time|night]] starting at level 28. All Cubone in Alola evolve into this form regardless of their origin.

==Biology==
Marowak is a bipedal Pokémon with a spike located on its tail. On its stomach, Marowak is very light brown in color, as opposed to most its body, which is a darker brown. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as its thumbs, and two large nails make up its toes. Marowak's head is composed of the skull it once wore as a mask. It can no longer remove the skull, as it became a part of its body. Marowak's jaw is composed of bone, and its nostrils are located on the nose of the skull. Its triangular eyes are brown and are also located on the skull. Marowak is well known for ferocity with its bone club, which it is said to collect from a hidden graveyard. It and its pre-evolution, {{p|Cubone}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bonemerang}}.

Upon evolution, Marowak has overcome the grief of its mother's passing. Now ferocious and violent, Marowak is an adept combatant, and uses the bone it carries as a weapon and a boomerang. Marowak have also been recorded pounding on boulders with the bone club it carries in order to tap out messages to others. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}} to test its skills.

In the [[Alola]] region, Marowak was faced with an abundance of its natural enemies, {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. This harsh environment led it to bond closely with its friends, which is said to have created a sort of sixth sense and caused it to take a new form. Alolan Marowak rubs the bone it wields against its forehead to light the ends in a green flame, and then twirl the flaming bone. It specializes in an attack where it releases a weak ball of flame from its bone that will relentlessly pursue its foe. Alolans would fear it for a conjurer, due to its rarity and the fearful sight of it dancing with its bone.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-marowak/</ref> Alolan Marowak's body is black, and its skull has a dark, flamelike mark between the eyes. Its eyes are also a pale gray. Compared to regular Marowak's squatter, thicker body, Alolan Marowak is relatively thin, making it lighter. White markings echoing shoulder blades, vertebrae, and hip bones also line its back. The bone Alolan Marowak uses is longer then the one regular Marowak use.

* [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]: Marowak was killed by agents of [[Team Rocket]], leaving a {{p|Cubone}} as an orphan. With the [[Silph Scope]], [[Marowak (ghost)|her ghost]] could be seen in [[Pokémon Tower]]. It can only be caught by using a cheating device. After fainting in a battle, a message will pop up saying that the Marowak's soul has finally moved on to the afterlife. This message, however, still shows up even if the player actually caught the Marowak with a Gameshark or Action Replay given that the Marowak is not supposed to be catchable.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Marowak runs a [[Marowak Dojo|training dojo]] the same way {{p|Makuhita}} had [[Makuhita Dojo|one]] in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|first series]].

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Marowak was originally known as "Guardia". This is the Spanish word for ''guardian''.
* According to some of Marowak's [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} Pokédex entries, somewhere exists a legendary Marowak graveyard. This is a reference to the {{wp|Elephants' graveyard}} of modern myth.
* Until the release of {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} and the appearance of [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black and White Kyurem]], Marowak was the only Pokémon in the main games [[Marowak (ghost)|to be found in a location]] where it was not able to be caught at all.
* Alolan Marowak is the only dual-type Pokémon with a pre-evolution that shares no types with it.

===Origin===
Marowak is reptilian in nature and may be based on bipedal dinosaurs.

Alolan Marowak's design may draw inspiration from {{wp|fire knife}}, a Samoan traditional dance implement. Alolan Marowak also may draw inspiration from the Polynesian concept of {{wp|mana}}, a spiritual essence that exists in all objects and people. It also allows people to imbue their "spirit" into other people and objects for protection or vengeance.
====Name origin====
Marowak is a combination of ''{{wp|marrow}}'' and ''whack''.

Garagara may be taken to mean がらがら (clattering). It is worth noting that ''garagara'' denotes heavier clattering than からから ''{{p|Cubone|karakara}}''.

'''Cubone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラカラ''' ''Karakara'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Marowak}} starting at [[level]] 28.

In [[Alola]], Cubone will evolve into [[Regional variant|Alolan]] Marowak when leveled up with high [[friendship]] at [[Time|night]] starting at level 28.

==Biology==
Cubone is a small, bipedal Pokémon with a golden brown hide that covers most of its body, including both dorsal spikes. Its belly is a very light brown. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as its thumbs, and one large nail on each foot make up its toes. On its head, Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother as a helmet. Because of this, much of its actual face has never been seen, except for its triangular, black eyes and a small area surrounding them. The skull has two rounded horns on the top of its head and a tooth-like point on the lower sides. Under the skull, Cubone has a brown snout. The small Cubone survives only through the immense skill it possesses in wielding the bone it carries as a weapon. The bone allows it to learn {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bonemerang}}, two moves [[Signature move|exclusive]] to Cubone and its evolution {{p|Marowak}}.

It is called the Lonely Pokémon because of its tendency to keep to itself and avoid social situations, as it was apparently traumatized by the death of its mother. Cubone will often weep at night in mourning of its mother. When Cubone cries, the skull that it wears on its head vibrates and emits “a plaintive and mournful sound.” On the night of a full moon, the cries are said to be especially terrible. Cubone seems to recognize its mother in the moon, and so it howls with a particular sadness. It lives in rocky areas, usually on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}} or in caves. It also once inhabited the Pokémon Tower in [[Lavender Town]] where deceased Pokémon were buried and mourned. {{p|Mandibuzz}} is a natural predator of Cubone.

==Trivia==

* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Cubone was originally known as "Orphon," a corruption of the word "orphan," based on its abandonment at birth.
* Cubone is [[Midori Harada]]'s favorite Pokémon.
* Cubone is one of the Pokémon that appears in the [[Pokémon 151]] clothing line.
* Cubone is the only Pokémon that can [[Evolution|evolve]] into a dual-[[type]] Pokémon that doesn't share any types with its pre-evolution.

===Origin===
Cubone may be based on a dinosaur. It also could be based on primitive cultures that wore bones for decoration and used them for weapons.

====Name origin====
Cubone may be a combination of ''cute'' and ''bone'', ''cub'' and ''bone'', or ''{{wp|Billiard ball|cue ball}}'' (a reference to its pale white head or that its bone resembles a billiards or snooker cue) and ''bone''. It could also be a combination of the Latin word ''cubo'' (recluse) and ''bone''; this can refer to its lonely nature.

Karakara may be taken to mean からから (clattering). It is worth noting that ''karakara'' denotes lighter clattering than がらがら ''{{p|Marowak|garagara}}''.
