Marowak (Japanese: ガラガラ Garagara) is a Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
Biology
Physiology
Marowak is the Bone Keeper Pokémon. It 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.
Special abilities
Marowak can have one of two abilities, Rock Head or Lightningrod. Rock Head prevents Marowak from taking Recoil Damage from using moves like Double-Edge. Lightningrod causes all Electric-type attacks to target Marowak. 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.
Evolution
Marowak evolves from Cubone as level 28.

Trivia
- Marowak and its pre-Evolution Cubone for three generations were two of the only Pokémon to have three signature attacks. The attacks were Bone Club, Bonemerang, and Bone Rush.
- Marowak's name comes from the combination of "marrow", a substance in bones, and "whack". Thus, it's name translates into "Bone Whack."
- Three bones appear in the Nacrene City museum. A plate on the base of the display says the bones used to be wielded by a Pokémon, referring to Marowak or Cubone.
- The ghost Marowak in Lavender Town is the first wild Pokémon that can not be caught by normal gameplay and no cheating, you have to run away or defeat it. The second is Black/White Kyurem.
- Even though Marowak is not a Ghost type, it shares the trait of a ghost type in generation 1 and 3, it cannot be seen without a certain item.
- Marowak was originally supposed to evolve into Kangaskhan, but this was changed right before the original games were released.
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).
