At over seven feet tall, piston automata are imposing robotic workers. Bodies made from an intricate weave of brass, steel, and copper, and engines powered by a barrel of diesel placed on their backs, they use their extended piston forearms for driving rivets into metal, or for flattening road surfaces. Coincidentally, their extreme strength makes them formidable foes, and some automata are stolen and re-programmed for use as bodyguards or mercenaries.

Standing two feet taller than even their piston-wielding brethren, heavy automata are specifically designed for combat. Sporting a large blunderbuss on one arm and an extendable tower-shield on the other, heavies are incredibly well-armoured and can even withstand consistent gunfire or small explosives. The effectiveness of their arsenal is somewhat dampened by their hulking, limited movement, but if mounted to a vehicle, or adapted specifically for more rapid operations, heavy automata can deal considerable damage to even the most nimble of opponents.

Scions of the deep dramatically vary in body composition. Most have aquatic features, almost like hybrids between fish and men, and many can breathe underwater for days at a time. Their skin is often deep blue or black, covered in tiny scales that glisten in a thin layer of iridescent ooze. It is unknown whether scions were originally people, whether they are born of the ocean, or whether they were brought here from the stars. They are aggressive, stalking predators who often rob and capsize boats that stray too far from the standard shipping lanes during storms.

Flesh golems are constructs created from corpses. Sewn together and reanimated through a series of occult rituals, they possess supernatural strength, healing ability, and agility, often dispatching large groups of foes with relative ease. It is said that the only way to truly kill a flesh golem is to pierce its heart and burn its corpse. Or one could kill its master and take over as its overlord. Loyal to a fault, they will stop at nothing to do their creator's bidding.
