The Marowak ghost makes an appearance in the [[PO02|second episode]] of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. Here, she plays the same role that she does in the games, warning intruders to stay away. The Marowak and her child {{p|Cubone}} used to live peacefully until Team Rocket began poaching Pokémon in the area. When they attempted to capture Cubone as well, Marowak stepped in to protect it, only to be killed with a stun baton while her child was running away.

After her death, she haunted the Pokémon Tower to warn people of Team Rocket, who had taken it over.

When Blue returned to give Red the [[Silph Scope]], Red was able to identify the ghost and figure out her true identity.

Before he could continue their battle, Marowak's child Cubone came rushing in and embraced its deceased mother. Having found peace in seeing her child once again, Marowak's spirit calms down and moves on to the afterlife.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Even after the Silph Scope is used on it, the Marowak ghost will continue to dodge thrown [[Poké Ball]]s, even [[Master Ball]]s. It will even dodge thrown Balls while {{status|sleep}}ing. This makes this particular Marowak the first [[wild Pokémon]] encountered by the player after the player has access to Poké Balls that is impossible to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}. The only other two to share this trait are the Black {{p|Kyurem}}{{sup/5|B2}} and White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}; however, when battling against these forms of Kyurem Poké Balls cannot be used at all.
