    I would appreciate it more if they were all geared. Steampunk does not use living / once living creatures but builds exact replicas of them that work or look the part.

    This is NOT steampunk.
    Gluing a bunch of gears to something does not make it steampunk. The conceptual aesthetic of steampunk is that mechanical parts aren't mere decorations, but an integral part of a functioning machine coupled with an engineer's minimalist's eye.
