Steampunk Animal Creature

Other variants
John Clute and John Grant have introduced the category gaslight romance or gaslamp fantasy. According to them, "steampunk stories are most commonly set in a romanticized, smoky, 19th-century London, as are Gaslight Romances. But the latter category focuses nostalgically on icons from the late years of that century and the early years of the 20th century—on Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde, Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes and even Tarzan—and can normally be understood as combining supernatural fiction and recursive fantasy, though some gaslight romances can be read as fantasies of history." The term steamgoth, coined by author and artist James Richardson-Brown, emphasizes a far darker view of Steampunk's anachronisms.
Another setting is Western steampunk, which overlaps with both the Weird West and Science fiction Western subgenres. Several other categories have arisen sharing similar naming structures, including dieselpunk, clockpunk, and others. Most of these terms were invented for supplements to the GURPS roleplaying game, and are not used in other contexts.
