Marowak

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, and a /-type introduced in Generation VII.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Marowak is a Pokémon that has a brown body with a sandy-colored underside. It has a single claw on its hands and feet. Its tail has a single protrusion near the end. The Pokémon's head seems to be an exoskeleton helmet and wields a long bone.
Alolan Marowak has a black body. Its arms are longer and lankier compared to a standard Marowak. Its back has white skeletal marking. The middle part of its skull has a pattern that resembles the appearance of an extruded high-cylinder cap. Its bone has two light green flames constantly burning on both ends. 
===Behavior ===
Marowak no longer grieve about abandonment; instead, their traumatic pasts become fuel for ruthless combat. They use bones to defeat foes with moves like Bone Club and Bonemerang. Marowak possess homing instincts that lead them back to their mothers’ tribes. They will join these tribes, never learning who their mothers truly were. Their loneliness has hardened them towards all deep social connections. Marowak will often fight one another in these tribes to the death for especially prized bones. The loser's remains will supply tools for future Cubone. The abandonment of young is a coming-of-age for Marowak. Lone Cubone, though traumatized, return home as cold, ruthless fighters who have no qualms whatsoever about brutally beating or killing others. Marowak hardly even communicate with each other, and even more rarely do so with speech. They tap their bones on boulders in specific rhythms to send messages. There are known to be over 50 of these unique rhythms. These Pokémon despise Mandibuzz, who try to steal their prized bones, and will throw their bones at them to knock them out of the sky. In popular folklore where Cubone are believed to be wearing the skulls of their mothers, Marowak are spurred on to defend their bones by their desire to avenge their deceased parent.
Such extreme pressure also favored individuals that worked together (in contrast to the distant relations of mainland Marowak). These Pokémon maintain the tradition of passing down the bones of loved ones; rather than dueling over them, however, Alolan Marowak seem to choose 'heirs' that will have the honor of wielding their bones when they pass. These Pokémon remain close with one another for their whole lives. They hold elaborate mourning rituals involving their flaming bones for their fallen allies; though their bones may be repurposed, Alolan Marowak will create dirt mound 'graves' along the sides of roads, fiercely attacking those who disturb them. It is said that their undying loyalty for one another endures even through death, with their spirits protecting those wielding their bones and granting them 'sixth senses.' Alolan people refer to and fear these Pokémon as 'conjurers of the dead' for this reason. Alolan Marowak strike their bones on the black patches on their heads to ignite them. They spin their bones and perform intricate dances to perform both rituals and attacks. They can release fireballs in this manner; while not individually strong, their determination to land repeated blows can make them formidable foes. It is said that a blaze caused by its ghostly fire cannot be quenched, no matter how much water is poured over it. Their flames are said to scorch both the mind and body equally.
Marowak are usually seen living in caves and grasslands, though some might be living in deserts.
===Natural abilities===
From its birth, this savage Pokémon constantly holds bones. It is skilled at using them as weapons, throwing them with great skill like boomerangs to KO foes. Its attack power doubles when wielding a club.
Alolan Marowak can rub their bones on their foreheads to create fireballs and spin their bones to throw the fireballs.
==Evolution==
Marowak evolves from Cubone at level 28.
Alolan Marowak evolves from Cubone at night.

*The Ghost Marowak in Lavender Town is the first wild Pokémon that cannot be caught by normal gameplay and without cheating, you have to run away or defeat it. The second is Black/White Kyurem.
*Alolan Marowak is the third Alolan form that evolves from a Kantonian Form, the others are Raichu and Exeggutor.
*Alolan Marowak is the first Pokémon that has a completely different typing from its pre-evolution (Cubone is while Alolan Marowak is /).
===Origin===
Marowak seems to be based on dinosaurs. It has some elements of cavemen as well, according to its behavior of using bones as weapons and wearing skulls as helmets.
Alolan Marowak might be inspired by Hawaiian fire dancers. It may also be inspired by the Ghost Marowak that is found in Lavender Town in the Generation I games, given its typing. The fire on its club also resemble wisps, lost spirits taking the form of glowing fire.
===Etymology===
Marowak's name was probably based on "marrow" (which is the inside of a bone) and "whack" (the action of smacking something into something else; his/her bone).
