From the
steampunk comic book Avigon by
Che' Gilson and
Jimmie Robinson; a complex
automaton run with gears and powered by manual winding. Clockworks may also possess a
CPU, which can be quite sophisticated. A
sufficiently advanced Clockwork is essentially indistinguishable from a
human.
Clockworks come in a variety of levels of complexity. The simpler ones perform menial labour, while the more complex ones may serve as man-servants, bodyguards, or more sundary purposes. Many are shaped like humans, but others are shaped like animals, mythical creatures, or anthropromorphic creatures.
