First introduced in the video games [[Pokémon Red and Blue|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'']], it has appeared in multiple games including ''[[Pokémon Go]]'' and the ''[[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]'', as well as various merchandise. It has been considered one of the saddest and creepiest Pokémon in the series, with its concept being that it is wearing the skull of its dead mother. This story first appeared in ''Red'' and ''Blue'' and has been redone in other works, such as the ''[[Pokémon Origins]]'' anime. It has also been the subject of [[creepypasta]]s and theories, most notably a theory that Cubone is the baby of the Pokémon [[Kangaskhan]] after its mother died. It served as the inspiration for the Skull Crawler creature in the film ''[[Kong: Skull Island]]''.
