It's a bot that goes boom.
And, to preclude the next question, a Skullmonkey is a monkey with a skull.

Theres a guy named Doug Tennapel that has created a PC
video game called the Neverhood.
Then later, he created a sequel on the Playstation called Skullmonkeys,
and then a third installment on Playstation called BoomBots.
He also created a Saturday Morning Cartoon called Project Geeker,
and a Japanese cartoon called Goodie Bear, and an unreleased
movie called Mothman. Since he is a big Terry Taylor/Daniel Amos
fan he has had Terry to do the soundtracks to these games
cartoons and movies.
The Imaginarium CD set is a compliation of all the video game
soundtracks. 100% Terry, but nothing like any of his albums.
The liner notes Terry wrote talk about the whole working with
Dreamworks story..
Terry and Doug are currently working on a Nickelodian project
together called Catscratch. For updates on Catscratch check Doug's
forum, theres also a section on Neverhood and how to get it to
run on Windows XP.
Terry actually has a whole set of alternate world fans from these
projects...

Yes, but it's good that Terry's fan base expands, he gets business
on nice projects and some noteriety among creative channels.

If you were not convinced that Terry is a genius, Imaginarium will convince you.
Or send you running out of the house, screaming.
One of the two.

Have I told this story yet?
1989, I got a copy of OE from that Word music club and loved it. At the time I had not heard of Terry Taylor or DA and had no idea at all about the Eddies' past.
Fast-forward ten years or so and I'm installing PCs for pharmacists to order from a pharmaceutical wholesaler. The pharmacists had no desire to use the PCs any more than necessary, so I got to keep the CDs that came bundled with the PCs.
That's how I received a copy of the Neverhood. I used to play it with my daughter and the rest of the night we'd all be humming these songs from the soundtrack. We couldn't get them out of our heads!
So we got stuck in the game and I found some fansite on the Web with clues. They also had a link to Stunt records to buy the original Neverhood Songs which led me to danielamos.com and a whole new world opened to me!
)
And I still sing "Homina Homina" on occasion!

And what do I have to show for it? A CD collection and a message board addiction!
