Introduced in Generation I, Cubone is a small, bipedal dinosaur-like creature, distinguished by the skull it wears on its head—the skull of its deceased mother. This poignant detail is central to its lore, as Cubone is said to cry often, its tears echoing within the skull and producing a mournful sound. It wields a bone as a weapon, which it learns to use skillfully as it matures. Cubone evolves into Marowak, and in some regions, into Alolan Marowak, a Fire/Ghost type. Its natural habitat often includes caves and rocky terrains, where it can be found mourning its mother under the moonlight. In the games, Cubone is a relatively early-game Pokémon, often encountered in areas like Pokémon Tower in Kanto, further emphasizing its connection to the deceased. Its story has resonated deeply with fans, making it one of the most emotionally impactful Pokémon in the franchise, symbolizing themes of loss and resilience.
