Marowak is a bipedal Pokémon with a spike located on its tail. On its stomach, Marowak is very light brown in color, as opposed to most its body, which is a darker brown. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as its thumbs, and two large nails make up its toes. Marowak's head is composed of the skull it once wore as a mask. It can no longer remove the skull, as it became a part of its body. Marowak's jaw is composed of bone, and its nostrils are located on the nose of the skull. Its triangular eyes are brown and are also located on the skull. Marowak is well known for ferocity with its bone club, which it is said to collect from a hidden graveyard. It and its pre-evolution, {{p|Cubone}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bonemerang}}. | Marowak is a bipedal Pokémon with a spike located on its tail.

In the [[Alola]] region, Marowak was faced with an abundance of its natural enemies, {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. This harsh environment led it to bond closely with its friends, which is said to have created a sort of sixth sense and caused it to take a new form. Alolan Marowak rubs the bone it wields against its forehead to light the ends in a green flame, and then twirl the flaming bone. It specializes in an attack where it releases a weak ball of flame from its bone that will relentlessly pursue its foe. Alolans would fear it for a conjurer, due to its rarity and the fearful sight of it dancing with its bone.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-marowak/</ref> Alolan Marowak's body is black, and its skull has a dark, flamelike mark between the eyes.
