Little crazy dude.

This is a little crazy skull that needs a body to operate with.
At times you could take your skull off your body and place it on a moving hand.

Something from the Adams Family.

Medievil 2 is a sturdy 3D platformer, sequel to the much-acclaimed Medievil that was originally released in late 1998.
Again you play as Daniel Fortesque, the amusing walking skeleton, and again you must fight your way through a bunch of levels seeing off a host of bizarre creatures. These include dinosaurs made completely of bone, a variety of circus freaks and robot elephants (don't ask!).
It is a decent adventure, but there is precious little of the game that hasn't been done elsewhere, and done better too. The best feature in here is being able to detatch Dan's head and then switch between that and his body, this trick is ingeniously used in some of the games many puzzles.
Problems that needed addressing after the original are still lingering - the criminally bad camera system that sees you often falling to your death mid-way through a crucial jump as the camera shifts of its own accord is almost unforgivable. You still can't choose from a variety of levels at a time (you can only choose past levels and one current), which was an idea used to good effect in Spyro 2 & 3.
Most of the game gives the impression of 'solid and sturdy' - the graphics are pretty high-class and the frequent cut-scenes are a constant source of amusement, there are plenty of levels and goodies to uncover, but as a whole it never really engages the player.
