Diablo 2 features a wide variety of available bots, they are often used for easy, quick levelling and/or repeatedly slaughtering high level creatures in order to find some crazy loot. Other bots are simpler in nature; they hang around post in various channels [made to appear human, but they are essentially spamming].
For those aspiring authors, screenwriters, and literary gamers this is not to be taken lightly.
Apologies, we just had to have fun with this one.
On the subject of the incongruity between the concepts of explosions of blood generated by death animations of skeletons when met with the Monk's popular skill Exploding Palm, we get a somewhat satisfying answer.
We have tons of unique death types, the exploding palm effect you're talking about though is an effect of the skill itself though and not the makeup of the creature it's used against.
When you apply the bleed-DoT from Exploding Palm a beating heart appears over the creature it's applied to. After they take enough steps or are otherwise killed the heart explodes and deals AE damage. So it's not actually the skeleton exploding (although that happens too) that's causing the blood effect, but the skill itself.
We'd still like to see more monster variety-specific effects. There's no doubt, however, that the battle scenes of Diablo III are illustrated both gruesomely and beautifully (and we're not talking rainbows, unless you are referring to rainbows of blood).
