Short and sweet, working on a new location for my homebrew world, looking for some suggestions on clockwork monstrosities to populate the section known as "The Gear Wastes", a large area of plains, hills and mountains that was once a heavily industrialized dwarven nation that has fallen into ruin and has been slowly reclaimed by nature.

Current creatures are:

Wire Wolves: Clockwork Creature Template + Wolves/Dire Wolves (Trip attack switched to free grapple check via vomiting wires and cables)
"Drill Vole Swarms": Clockwork Creature Template + Rat Swarm (Disease removed, dig speed added)
Land Shark: Clockwork Creature Template + Bulette
Blenderwyrm: Clockwork Creature Template + Purple Worm (There's a nest somewhere in the wastes with a "momma" wyrm--Colossal Mythic Clockwork Purple Worm)

Vast mechanical kraken are a classic steampunk invention. Mechanical tentacles reaching up out of a lake could at least be a sign not to go boating there. Clockwork crocodiles could be a lower CR version of the same sort of threat.

Fire, magma or smoke mephits (clockwork or otherwise) might be manufactured servants which have escaped from duties at a factory or smelter.

A clockwork ettercap setting traps could work as a mechanical builder run amok.

Depending on how whichever template you're using works, a clockwork troll might work as a self-repairing device.
