Subtypes

A lepitsune who has had its stardust damaged and altered by overexertion or intense emotional distress.

This occurs when a lepitsune grows desperate or emotional enough to try granting wishes outside their means at the cost of their own health, which damages and destabilises their stardust and which in turn leaves them susceptible to dark matter infection.

This behavior is usually spurred on by a strong attachment for something or someone to the point the lepitsune will turn to self-sacrifice. A corrupted lepitsune's halo permanently shatters, and depending on the severity of their condition will develop abnormal traits.

With sufficient support, friendship and time, they can eventually recover through exposure to healthy stardust, though they remain susceptible to relapsing if not careful. If a corrupted lepitsune is left alone, however, they will spiral both physically and mentally as their stardust continues to destabilise and corrupt and may develop increasingly abnormal mutations.
