Skullmonkeys is a 1998 platform video game developed by The Neverhood, Inc. and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation. It is the sequel to The Neverhood, and rather than being an adventure game, it is a platformer. Players again take control of Klaymen, who this time must defeat a horde of creatures called Skullmonkeys under the command of his old foe Klogg.
