On the night of a full moon, it cries, for it seems to recognize its mother's face in the moon. Its tears create stains on the skull. Cubone has a plump body with a paler-colored underbelly, with strong, clawed limbs to carry a bone as a weapon around wherever it goes. Cubone has a single, nailed toe on each foot, with two spikes on its back. A small tail is also present for balance, but it can be used for attacking.

There is a popular belief that a Kangaskhan who's mother dies takes her skull and one of her bones and becomes a Cubone, which evolves into Marowak and then Kangaskhan. Some also believe that was how it was originally intended, and instead of deleting the Marowak-Kangaskhan code, they moved it to an empty slot, therefore creating 'M
A two facts supporting this is that 'M has the same pallete as Marowak and that it can evolve into Kangaskhan.
The supposed reason for not deleting 'M's data is because the game programers didn't have enough time to do so.
Marowak doesn't evolve into Kangaskhan supposedly because that would cause complications in the evolutionary line.
Cubone and its evolution, Marowak, are the only Single-type Pokémon that can have the ability Lightningrod and aren't an Electric-type.
Cubone was originally going to be named "Orphan" in the Japenese games, anime, and manga.
