Trying to remember a game

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to figure out the title of a game I played as a kid. "Kid" for me means around late 90s-early 2000s. It was a sort of action-adventure game where you could control 3 characters with different abilities, I think one had a jetpack. It was set in a sort of surreal world with colourful hills and trees, and one kind of monster that would stay hidden underground to ambush you. If I remember correctly, one quest included hunting big cow-like animals for a little alien guy who claimed he'd die of hunger. In my memory the game was kind of similar to MDK1+2, but it might very well not be.
I'm browsing GOG right now, but to no avail. Can anybody help?

Probably Giants:Citizen Kabuto. It's available on GoG.com.

Yes, that's the one!

Thanks a lot! The cover art somehow looks way more gritty than the game, maybe that's why it didn't strike me when browsing.
