A Marowak is the evolved form of a Cubone that has grown tough by overcoming the grief of losing its mother. Its tempered and hardened spirit is not easily broken.
It is small and was originally very weak. Its temperament turned ferocious when it began using bones.
Name origin
Marowak's name might be a combination of marrow and whack. Garagara may be taken to mean がらがら, clattering. It is worth noting that garagara denotes heavier clattering than karakara.
Marowak's original English name was going to be "Guardia," which is "guardian" without the "n."
Marowak first appeared in EP073 under the ownership of Otoshi, who had recently lost his badges. The Marowak left Otashi because it felt that if he lost his badges; he lost the respect Marowak had for him. Marowak finally decided to come back and help its trainer when he was attacked by Team Rocket.
