(by a lot) and probably more sexist Conan and Jirel of Joiry both fought the offspring of the Night Land’s monsters Gene Wolfe and Jack Vance both wrote their own night lands in response.

So, we get Madame Vastra, Silurian Detective (Neve McIntosh) Strax, Sontaran Butler (Dan Starkey) and Jenny, Human Maid (Catrin Stewart).
