8 Weirdest Video Game Boss Battles Of All Time!

8. Joe Head Joe - Skullmonkeys

So we kick off this list with what amounts to a fever dream toe punting reality in the face, as it's time to leap off into insanity and talk about Skullmonkeys' Joe Head Joe.

Now let it be known, Skullmonkeys is not your nan's Sunday lunch of a video game, it's off the wall in its tamest of moments and thoroughly loves chucking fantastical and often nightmarish images at the player all set within its brilliantly designed claymation-esque world. The plot, or what little of the plot makes sense, is that Klogg, the original villain from the first title in the series Neverhood, has crash-landed on a new, even stranger planet and has now enslaved the local populace to help him build a doomsday machine. Needless to say, it's not rainbow rhythms and he needs to be sternly slapped in the chops.

Yet it's not a simple road from A to B for our hero Klaymen, and blocking his path are the likes of Monkey Mage, a weird insectoid warrior, and of course Joe Head Joe, a furry bodied being with a skull on top who possess the face of one of the game's designers Joseph Sanabria, and if that wasn't weird enough, Joe Head Joe smashes his own eyeballs out to attack you as well as burping bubbles in your general direction.

Weird doesn't even cut it when it comes to this game.
