Marowak

Marowak is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Appearance
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. It wears a skull as a mask/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. Lightingrod causes all -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.

Evolution
Marowak evolves from Cubone as level 28.

Etymology
Marowak's name was probably based off "Marrow" (Which is the inside of a bone) and "Wack" (The action of smacking something into something else; his/her bone).

Trivia

 * The ghost Marowak in Lavender Town is the only wild Pokémon that can not be caught by normal gameplay and no cheating.
 * Even though Marowak is not a Ghost type, it shares the trait of a ghost type in generation 1 and 3.
 * Marowak was originally suposed to evolve into Kangaskhan, but this was changed right before Pokémon Red and Blue were released.
