👽 Xenomorph — HR Giger’s Nightmare, Rendered in LoRA
🧬 Overview
This LoRA captures the chilling beauty of the Xenomorph, the iconic creature from the Alien film franchise, originally envisioned by the brilliant madman, H.R. Giger. With its biomechanical horror, elongated forms, and dripping menace, this LoRA channels that otherworldly design into generative art.
Trained using a hand-picked, carefully curated dataset, this is a personal project made public. It's fresh out of training, so results may vary — but early tests show strong performance across a range of models.
Oh, and yes — Version 2 now has an XL edition. Same twisted aesthetic, but retooled specifically for Stable Diffusion XL. Better coherence, more detail, more nightmare.
Expect occasional oddities and visual anomalies (a bit like the creature itself), but future updates will refine this further. For now, dive in and get experimental. And if it bursts through your screen in a new form — definitely share!
🧪 Style Characteristics
Biomechanical detailing: seamless fusion of flesh and machine
Oily textures, hard skeletal silhouettes, and sinewy alien anatomy
Great for horror, sci-fi, and dark surreal scenes
Can render highly cinematic imagery or grotesque creature designs
Especially striking with monochrome or deep contrast lighting
🛠️ Usage Settings
🐴 Pony Version
Trigger Word:
"xenomorph" (required)
LoRA Strength:
Recommended: 1.0 – 1.4
Range: 0.7 – 1.6
Lower strength = subtle biomechanical motifs
Higher strength = full transformation into biomechanical horror
Samplers:
Euler
Euler A
DPM++ 2M
DPM++ 2M SDE (moody lighting, better horror tones)
Scheduler:
Karras
Steps:
20+ for optimal detail
CFG (Classifier-Free Guidance):
4.0 – 9.0 (higher = more contrast and intensity)
💀 V2 — XL Edition
Trigger Word:
"xenomorph" (required for activation)
LoRA Strength:
Ideal: 1.0
Usable range: 0.8 – 1.2
Lower = subtle texture layering
Higher = aggressive biomech overhaul
Samplers:
Euler
Euler A
DPM++ 2M
DPM++ 2M SDE
Scheduler:
Karras
Steps:
20+ recommended, especially with complex lighting or surreal composition
CFG:
5.0 – 8.0
Adjust depending on how cinematic or gritty you want the output
✅ Model Compatibility
Pony version works beautifully with nearly all Pony and Anthro models
XL version plays nicely with most SDXL bases — especially stylized realism, cinematic, or dark sci-fi-focused models
Expect wildly different outputs depending on the base model. Explore.

If you like what I’m building — Typhoon, Tornado, the tools, the chaos — and want to help keep it all spinning, consider supporting me on Ko-fi:
Every bit helps cover compute costs, caffeine, and the occasional "why is this broken?" meltdown. Thanks for keeping the storm alive.
