Apologies, we just had to have fun with this one.
On the subject of the incongruity between the concepts diablo3 gold 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 diablo3 power leveling 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).
