| Has anyone here ever given thought that in the anime and the games, that Pokémon can't die. Even in the movie, {{p|Celebi}} is revived.

| ::Isn't it possible that it's refering to the skull the mother used to wear as a Cubone, as opposed to say, its' actual skull? It's entirely possible and heck, even more likely that the mothers simply pass their old skulls down to their children as Marowak don't wear them any longer. The alternative would be Cubone being sad for it's mother, but then deciding to cut her head open and steal her skull to parade around as a fancy hat. The pokedex entry was likely referring to that one Cubone as far as the dead mother parts, but maybe not quite the way it sounded with the skull. -[[User:Flameblight|<font color="blue">Flameblight</font>]] 14:29, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

| == The Skull ==
| |
|
| |
| Ok, we know it wears the skull of it's dead mother, but which skull does it wear. Does it remove the helmet it's mother is wearing, or does it wear the skull right out of its mother's head?
| |
|
| |
| If it wares the skull helmet of its dead mother, then if its mother is a Marowak someone (in the Pokémon word)surly must have seen a Cubone wearing a Marowak helmet unless they evolve straight to a Marowak.
| |
|
| |
| If it wears the skull out of its dead mother's head, then the inner skull of a Cubone and/or Marowak must be shaped like the Skull helmet of a Cubone. That mean that even if the Cubone evolves, the helmet has only changed in the evolution and the skull in its head is still the shape of a Cubone Helmet.
| |
|
| |
| So which is it. The helmet or the actual skull? [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 21:56, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
| |
| :My input here, but am I the only person who things would be a little... err, too grim for Nintendo if Cubone actually, at birth, rips open its mothers head, tears off it's skin, and rips out its skull, then wears the blood covered skull on its head?

| |
| ::Since Marowak is the Bone Keeper pokemon, I'd guess it probably holds onto the skull it wore as a Cubone somehow which gets passed down like an heirloom from mother to child or something. The mother Marowak may not ever actually WEAR her old skull anymore so much as just keep it...somewhere on her person and that boney-looking head is actually just that, the head since we've seen it move its' lower jaw when Marowak appear in the anime and it seems to be part of the upper gray head, unlike Cubone who has a separate-looking brown lower jaw. Just a guess though.--[[User:Flameblight|<font color="blue">Flameblight</font>]] 05:21, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

| I,ve heard of this theory from many places, we could say somthing like "It is a populer theory amung fandom that cubone is an orphaned Kanghaskhan whose evelution was alterd due to the skull it placed on its head". If not could the Orphan/Baby Kangaskhan theory at least be put in the fandom section under Fake Pokémon (it is definatly worth noting). [[User:EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 19:00, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

| :I read somewhere that there was apparently an interview with Satoshi by Nintendo Power where it was mentioned that a Cubone->Marowak->Kangaskhan evolution line was the original idea until they decided Kangaskhan would be better stand-alone. However, those sprites in that picture are fan-made. Also, most of the official artwork I see of Kangaskhan shows that her baby is gray.[[User:Scorponis|Scorponis]] 01:36, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

| == A pretty decent look at its face? ==

| I was just made aware of a set of cards released by Bandai in 1997 with unique art done by Sugimori. Cubone's can be seen here:

| Source here: http://community.livejournal.com/prtcg/8417.html
| |
| This is, to my knowledge, the best look at its face that I've ever seen. The fact that it was illustrated by Sugimori would lend some credibility to it being canon - could this be implemented in the article somewhere? [[User:Silverlucario|Silverlucario]] 08:59, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

| Could one of its origins be the elephant? Elephants are large and formidable creatures and therefore are hard to take down, like a Cubone and Marowak due to their high defense stat. They are also one of the most powerful creatures alive today similar to how Marowak currently has the highest attack capability. The biggest similarity between Cubone's family and elephants are their reactions to death. It has been shown that elephants are vary sensitive to the death of their family or even others of their own species and have some kind of feeling to bones of dead elephants. In one particular examination of elephants a matriarch of a family of African elephants died devastating them all, but most surprising of all her calf began to weep and scream at the dead mammal as a Cubone is said to do in numerous pokedex entries. Also in the crystal pokedex entry for Marowak it references a mass Marowak graveyard hidden in the world a reference to the modern myth of the elephants graveyard. | | Could one of its origins be the elephant?
