What it is

The image variant of GoogleOther: one-off fetches by Google product and research teams that are not Search. It also answers to a GoogleOther group in robots.txt.

What blocking it costs you

Google teams outside Search stop fetching your images. Image Search itself is unaffected — that is Googlebot-Image.
