Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ Pokémon Debates _ What's under Cubone's mask?

Posted by: Silveraven Nov 14 2009, 07:55 PM

What do you guys think's under that mask? I think that the skull is probably the mom's, which could be a cubone or a marowak since in the show a Pichu could lay an egg with another Pichu. If you think about it, unless they take dead Charizard skulls, it should look like their face. So, it'll probably be their body color (or maybe lighter/darker) and the spiky edges will probably be round, the horns will be a bit taller, because skin is generally thick. And a mouth. And eyes. Of course eyes.

Where do they get the mask anyway?? If the mom is a cubone, it'll take it's mom's mask and bone. If it's a marowak, I geuss they turn into a skeleton pretty quickly or the babies drag their mom's body to a place where all the other baby Cubones are and wait for them to turn into a skeleton, pull off their mom's face and place it on their face. Which is kinda gross considering what's there....

But sweet too. Which is why Cubones are awesomesauce. I just want to huggle them all. <3, so adorable. Back on track. So, post what you think's there and an explanation on how they get it. Maybe there's a burial ground for dead female marowaks/cubones who are captive since for some reason they can have eggs and not die. Maybe it's the fact the egg scares the mom, since she has instincts that she's gonna die pretty soon and ends up dying of shock.... So, what do you think?

But where do captive ones get it? Does some Bone Mask Fairy tuck a bone and a mask in there which will grow as it ages? Heehee. Bone mask fairy! I must draw a picture of a female cubone with fairy wings handing out bone masks and leg bones!

It says in a Pokedex entry that Cubones wear the skulls of their dead mother on their head.

Also, I think that Cubone has a face under the skull. [lol lame joke]

Yes, but if it's mom's a marowak...what does it does then? I know it wears it's mommy's skull. Does it behead her, and place her rotting head on it's head?? That's just twisted. But sweet. So, yeah....Obviously it would take mommy's skull mask if mommy was cubone. And for captive...Bone mask fairy!

What I'd like to beleive is the skull is actually part of Cubones face, and thus further evolution after Marowak could have made it into a bone like ground dragon, or because of it's past a ghost/ground type. Maybe shedding it's skull upon further evolution the touch of it's discarded skull upon a nestling egg combinds with it to merge with a newly born Cubone to make it closer then adverage cubones to it's 'lost' mother whom has moved on due to it's ghostly evolution drawing it elsewhere...

But that is just a thought of an over active imagination this morning viewing the Cubone from it's lonely nature. cubone.gif

Honest answer is the Pokédex says a few things that seem abit crude that it sounds like Team Rocket could have hacked into it. noes.gif

Uhh.... I got confused. How does the mask merge with the egg? I vote Bone Mask Fairy!!
A bone Mask Fairy is a pink cubone with pink sparkly wings, a bone with sparkles on it and a sparkly mask, she tucks the bones into a little flap on the egg. Baby cubone grabs it and puts it on it's face.

Posted by: OzaRyu Nov 21 2009, 12:30 PM

well, heres my opinion:
When you look at Slowpoke's evolution, Shellder suddenly transforms into an odd thing...
Similarly, in cubone's evolution, it's mask morphs into a Marowak mask
So, when a Marowak's mask is removed, it demorphs, and forms a cubone's mask!
If the mother's not dead, they probably just rip off some other dead cubone's mask.... (or they could be born with it after few generations)


Case closed, perhaps?

Posted by: The True Dragonforce Nov 21 2009, 12:35 PM

I think what's under Cubone's mask is Shoop Da Whoop a head and face similar to that of Dragonair. I looked at the underside of it's head and it's kinda what came to me. Ah, yes. It's mask doesn't fit it all the way.

"Oh,my mommy is dead,lets wait for her to turn to bones and take her smelly head and put it around our heads FOREVER."

lol

Posted by: Drifty Jan 20 2010, 01:06 PM

I know what's under Cubone's mask!
It's a horrifically disfigured face for which his mother abandoned him and sold him to the circus where he spent the first ten years of his life in depression until he escaped into an opera house and spent his years there being creepy, writing organ music, and hanging people from the ceiling. :D

xD Not really, I just couldn't resist the opportunity there. xD

Posted by: Princess Jan 20 2010, 09:39 PM

What if the mother had more than one baby Cubone? Which one would get the head/skull?

Could there possibly be some sort of cubone graveyard where all the dead cubone's bodies go when they end up dieing. and then the babies raid the graveyard and grab a mask? cubone.gif

Ok here is my guess.

Good question. I haven't thought about it in too much detail... maybe it's like Mew's?

I could not help but chuckle at the picture. I doubt Pokemon will ever tell us what's under that mask. It would be a complete tangent of the story. If they reveal Cubone's mask, they would need to reveal what a Diglett would look like out of the ground or how Mantine have Remoraids...

Posted by: EpicPika Jan 24 2010, 01:57 AM

Although the theory that Cubone could infact be the pre-evolution to Kangaskhan, i had the thought that it could have the face of some dog-like thing similar to like a coyote or something. If that isn't convincing, then i agree with the Kangaskhan theory.


Levilee209: I Believe it could be Kangaskhans Pre-Evolutions, I believe it could be related to some sort of Canine Creature, like she said. Also, We will probably never find out, just as we will never find out what is the other half of a Digglet

Posted by: Marcus Felding Jan 24 2010, 02:00 AM

I like to think of Cubone's head as being smiliar to a Charmander's.
I'll most likely edit this with an image or something for further explanation.

Though the Kangaskhan suggestion could be believable.
In fact, there are numerous possibilities.

I'm still going with my Charmander sub-species arguement.

Posted by: Fourtales Jan 24 2010, 11:41 AM

Then how would Cubone evolve into Kangaskhan? o_O.gif (On that topic, Kangaskhan does need a baby form, breeding is so awkward otherwise.)

I find this entire subject strange, really. I love Cubone, so I breed them all the time. Their mother's not dead, and there are too many babies to all steal the mother's skull anyway! It's an inconsistency. That's all I got. hmm.gif

Posted by: miaouille Jan 30 2010, 07:04 PM

In the first season of Pokemon, Pikachu fights against a Cubone, at the time it made him turn his head. and we see the muzzle of Cubone. In short, his head is like his skull, color it brown if you have trouble you represent. =)

Posted by: Mastr Feb 3 2010, 09:50 PM

Here's my idea. Cubone's "helmet" is actually similar to a horn. Horns grow with their owner, and would also explain why no one ever took off the mask, because they can't. The bone they hold is taken from another pokemon's grave.

And as for why Marowak is part ghost, that's news to me, so I got nothing. But I was on a roll, right?

Posted by: Netbug009 Feb 4 2010, 03:26 AM

I once saw a theory that a cubone was a baby Kangeskhan that lost its mother at a young age. It always made enough sense to me.

I assume this is what you're talking about.

Posted by: Draikette Feb 4 2010, 03:59 AM

well I always figured there'd be a dino face under there... *shrugs*

Posted by: gabite92 Feb 7 2010, 05:38 PM

I think a long time ago a cubone's mother died,it got depressed because of its lose and to honor its mother it took its skull and put it on its head.And from then on all its desendents were born with skulls on thier heads.
Thats just my theory,any one else have a theory?

Posted by: gabite92 Feb 7 2010, 05:38 PM

please ignore this post this was a computor mistake

Posted by: Mr Cadju Feb 28 2010, 10:33 AM

gamefreak should make a pre evo of a cubone..having no mask at all!

Well Mantine probably gets a remoraid naturally in the ocean. that IS what this animal here does. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remora
Anyway what happens if theres TWO hatchlings? who gets the skull?

Posted by: Lord Cybertron Mar 1 2010, 08:49 PM

Obviously, the Marowak dies the second the first one is born.

This is exactly what I thought too.

Posted by: Kajiek Apr 8 2010, 12:27 AM

For those who say "What if there's two eggs?" They only lay one egg at a time, and they would die. By the time the egg hatches, the Marowak has rotted, and the Cubone grabs the skull. How this works with domestic Cubone I haven't a clue though.

Crater: YES

I too am one one those people that believe it's Baby Kangaskan.

Yeah. I have always thinking sameway that its Little Kangaskan

Posted by: Lionheart88 Apr 13 2010, 10:02 PM

I'm not sure but I would image it is cute^^ Surprised no one has drew this.

Posted by: Frostbite17 Apr 14 2010, 03:16 PM

a cutie of coarse

Posted by: Growlithe Flame Apr 14 2010, 05:14 PM

I think that he has such an UGLY face that he hides it with the skull. Or he's half bull XD

Posted by: Royolis Apr 14 2010, 07:58 PM

A mass murder who is escaping from the cops lol

But seriously, a baby Kangaskan.

Posted by: Frostbite17 Apr 14 2010, 07:59 PM

baby kangashkan

Posted by: Koritsi Apr 15 2010, 03:58 PM

..then how do you explain Marowak

SoulSilver Dex - It always wears the skull of its dead mother, so no one has any idea what its hidden face looks like.

it's just a Cubone..

Posted by: mtn otter Apr 17 2010, 01:09 PM

I always thought that the "skull" is actually a horn-like growth that is inherited matroliniarly. I have no idea if I spelled that right, but it means that it is passed down from the mother. Thus, baby Cubones have the same horn shape as their mother, so it's not literally its mothers skull.

Posted by: Queezle Apr 27 2010, 01:13 PM

I'm fully with the baby kangaskhan theorie

Posted by: Xdogking Jul 1 2010, 02:04 PM

Underneath his mask is...another mask.

Mwahaha cased closed.

Posted by: knight 6792 Jul 6 2010, 10:40 AM

It's an eevee thing. Baby kangashkan abanndonned and orphaned because always with mother is very sad and grows mask because ashamed. Doesn't want people to know it's kangaskan so evolves into something different and stronger marowak.gif

Posted by: PokeCutie999 May 2 2011, 11:19 AM

Under Cubone's mask is another world where it keeps Pizza. I think its ment to be kept a secret. Just dont think about it. It doesn't matter what it looks like, I just matters if you like it. I say, think what you want about it, it doesn't matter.

Posted by: okpo Jun 11 2011, 07:46 AM

I think it`s a kanggaskin without a pouch

Posted by: rileyup Jun 19 2011, 03:17 PM

this:


Posted by: Red Canidae Jul 6 2011, 04:38 PM

Based on the fact that it changes when Cubone evolves, I'd say it IS the mom's skull, but it sort of acts like a skin graft. On the topic of "what if she has more than one?", well, you only really get one egg in a 'litter'...
I don't know... We should all make one substantial theory and call it the Cubone Theory. xD... Probably not.

Posted by: PawsrentOrigin Nov 2 2011, 04:09 PM

A popular theory I thought up before I heard it is that Cubones are actually Kangaskhan babies. When their mothers are killed by poacher, they put the skull on to keep the mother with them at all times. When they become Marowaks, the skull fuses with them. Of course, this could be wrong, because in one anime episode, a Cubone was slapped and the skull spun around the head.

Yeah I heard that once before but never actually thought much about it

Posted by: quomimi Jul 29 2012, 10:32 PM

Under Cubone's mask is his head. I also doubt that Kangaskan has any connection to Cubone/Marowak.
