Cubone’s Mother – Pokemon

Cubone’s story is fairly simple yet still heartbreaking. The skull it wears is that of its dead mother. It will cry at night and howls during full moon nights since it sees its mother in the moon. Cubone can eventually come to terms with the trauma and evolve into Marowak. However, Marowak is more violent in comparison and the skull mask is now permanently affixed to its head.
