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).
