<h2 id="what-it-does">What it does</h2>Xenophage is an SDXL concept LoRA trained on Illustrious for alien/symbiote corruption, infestation, and transformation themes. Use it for body horror, sci-fi horror, biomechanical environments, egg-infested scenes, and full-body alien transformation imagery — from minor neck-and-arm corruption to full hive-bound transcendence.Built around a curated 999-image dataset with rigorously hand-tagged stages, body-location specificity, and 11 color variants.<h2 id="triggers">Triggers</h2>Core: <code>xenophage</code>Parametric — substitute <code>[color]</code> and <code>[bodypart]</code>:<ul><li><code>[color] alien corruption</code>, <code>[color] alien eggs</code>, <code>[color] glowing eyes</code>, <code>[color] glowing tongue</code>, <code>[color] streaks in hair</code>, <code>glowing [color] veins</code></li><li><code>alien corruption on [bodypart]</code></li><li>Stages: <code>minor / partial / full alien corruption</code></li></ul>Colors: blue · purple · green · gold · teal · red · silver · black work strongly.

It also stacks well with other adjacent concept LoRAs to push their output toward the xeno aesthetic: try mixing it with venom symbiote, oviposition, tentacle, body horror, or biomechanical LoRAs to give them a corruption / infestation flavor. Recommended weight when stacking with another concept LoRA: <code>0.3 – 0.8</code> to let the partner LoRA lead.

Xenophage - Symbiote/Glowing Veins/Transformation/Corruption

Version descriptionCopyXenophage has crawled over to Kroma 🖤Same corruption, new host. I retrained Xenophage for Kroma, lodestones' gorgeous Krea 2 fine-tune, on the v3 dataset everyone's been using on Illustrious. Every image was recaptioned in plain language.Quick startStart your prompt with <code>xenophage.</code> and then just describe them:<code>xenophage. A richly detailed semi-realistic digital painting, an extreme close-up of her lips. An adult woman touched by gold alien corruption, glossy black corruption laced with glowing gold veins creeping up her neck and along her jaw, small sharp fangs and a long glowing gold tongue curling around one of her fingers.</code><ul><li>Kroma, Turbo-OPD: 8 steps, CFG 1, euler / simple, strength 1.0</li><li>Size: anything from 1 MP up to 2048 px. 21:9 ultrawide (2048×880) makes killer wallpapers.</li><li>Stacking: drop it to 0.3–0.5 when another concept LoRA should take the lead.</li></ul>Fun things to try<ul><li>Pick a color, any color. Gold, teal, purple, red and silver all glow beautifully. Two-tone and iridescent oil-slick corruption work too.</li><li>Say where it stops. "Corruption covers her arms and shoulders, ending at her collarbones; her chest is bare, normal skin."</li><li>Glowing eyes and tongues, fangs, black lips, and crackles of light between the lips. The mouth and eye close-ups are some of my favorite results.</li><li>No people needed: vein macros, corrupted roses, egg clusters, tendril-choked rooms and full alien hives.</li><li>Spicy is welcome. Solo, partnered, futa, femboys, converted partners, eggs. For group scenes, say who has what ("the woman on the left has gold eyes; the redhead is untouched").</li><li>Add <code>in xv3 style</code> for a taste of the original v3 look, or leave it out for Kroma's own rendering.</li><li>The v3 tags still work too. They're in the trigger list, and you can sprinkle them after your description.</li></ul>musubi-tuner Krea 2 LoRA, trained on the Kroma teacher and run on Turbo-OPD. Rank 32 / alpha 32, LR 1e-4 AdamW8bit cosine, batch 2, 6 epochs (~3,080 steps), on 1,025 images: the v3 set plus 83 new ones for explicit and multi-person scenes.

I love seeing what you do with her, and it genuinely helps a small creator out. Enjoy! 💜
