It's not meant to be taken seriously. How about those galloping, leaping horse skeletons. I hated those things (in a good way).

At the price point they set it at, I think Croteam wanted to display the game as part tech demo, part ridiculously paced shooter. I mean, heck, one of the levels is just a bunch of rooms with different effects. Too bad it didn't really catch on as a dev engine.
The horse skeletons...heh. I think the official name is Kleer, but since my friends and I play Ranbow Six type games where we're conditioned to yell "Clear!" when a room is cleared, yelling out "Kleer!" just ensures that someone's going to take a shot in the back of the head. We got to calling them Hueys since their galloping noise sounds like a helicopter coming in.
Good times, good times.
My favorite were those crazy ass bulls. One second you're on the ground, next second you're 30 feet in the air going, "WTF?!"
