* '''X.A.N.A.'''
:X.A.N.A. is an evil and powerful computer virus based on a [[multi-agent system]]. It is ruthless, bent on world domination, and serves as the central antagonist of the series. It was originally created by Franz Hopper to destroy Project Carthage: a military communications system that Hopper had previously been involved with. He mentions that his motives were to prevent the [[French government]] from obtaining access to Project Carthage. Due to Hopper's repeated returns to the past, X.A.N.A. evolved until it achieved self-awareness, choosing to betray Hopper and trap him and his daughter Aelita inside Lyoko. Hopper had no choice but to shut down the [[Supercomputer]] to stop its rampage. After it was reawakened in the present day, X.A.N.A. continues to wreak havoc on Earth and displays no mercy towards those who stand in its way. It grows smarter and more powerful with every return in time and can think of greater plans and goals beyond random destruction.

:X.A.N.A. has no actual physical form as a [[Computer program|program]], instead, X.A.N.A. activates Lyoko structures called "Towers" to send manifestations of its multi-agent system to the real world, while remaining inside the Supercomputer, which can only be stopped by deactivating the Towers. On [[Earth]], X.A.N.A. can manipulate [[electricity]] , infiltrate networks, or manifest ghostly specters from [[outlets]] at will to possess objects or living things like a virus to bend to its will (usually marked with its eye symbol as a sign of its control) to threaten [[Human|humanity]] or target its enemies. After evolving further, X.A.N.A. learns to possess humans or manifest polymorphic spectres to follow its orders as pixelized vessels with its spectral or electrical abilities. On Lyoko, it virtualizes deadly monsters to fight enemies and attack targets, and can alter environments, plant bugs or viruses, manipulate vulnerable warriors, create prisons, program equipment and vehicles, etc.

:The only known physical incarnation of X.A.N.A. appeared in season 1, in the episode titled "Ghost Channel," where after having its disguise as Jeremy exposed, he transformed into a demonic [[caricature]] figure of Jeremy and tried to kill all of the Warriors. X.A.N.A.'s voice was provided by [[David Gasman]] in this episode.

:As X.A.N.A. continues to increase its power, its capabilities with the towers become practically unlimited, such as controlling all forms of electromagnetism, hacking networks, [[virus]] possession of objects, natural elements, large areas, and living things, materializing minions to Earth, [[Brainwashing|mind control]], holograms, granting supernatural abilities, manifesting ghosts in human forms, etc. Its goals also develop throughout the series. It steals the Keys to Lyoko from Aelita to escape the Supercomputer and access the world network. Upon its escape, X.A.N.A. becomes more ruthless and aggressive, now trying to destroy Lyoko to render the team powerless against it, succeeding at the end of the third season (but Lyoko was recreated after) and possessing William to become its minion. After that, X.A.N.A. also targets Franz Hopper, its biggest threat and the reason why the group keeps surviving. At the same time, the heroes discover X.A.N.A. has infected hundreds of other supercomputers in the network to build weapons and technology to conquer the real world. Near the end of the series, the group manage to free William and, with Franz Hopper's sacrifice in the final battle, the team "successfully" destroyed X.A.N.A. in his entirety in the network with Jeremy's multi-agent program.

*'''The Lyoko Monsters'''
:X.A.N.A. virtualizes many types of deadly monsters/artificial monstrous beings on Lyoko to fight enemies, guard Towers, and attack targets. The legion of virtual/digital monsters generally appear to be organic/mechanical creatures based on various animals and insects. X.A.N.A.'s monster types include Kankrelats, Hornets, Bloks, Krabs, Megatanks, Tarantulas, Creepers, and Mantas. These monsters can be destroyed by hitting the Eye of X.A.N.A. on their bodies. In the Digital Sea, it uses monsters such as Kongers, Sharks, and the Kalamar. It also created a unique monster it was called the Scyphozoa, One of X.A.N.A.'s unique monster, it's a giant levitating brainwashing [[Jellyfish]] or [[Squid]] that has no laser weapons, it has been shown to be able to use the ability to controlling their minds to do its will. Which it can uses to drain/steal memory or possess warriors with it's tentacles, the Scyphozoa has the ability to levitate and travels by floating if it were traveling like wind.  There is also its unique/largest and most powerful/ultimate monster which appeared in the last three episodes, the [[Kolossus]] (known as Kolosse in French),a [[fiery]] giant [[titan]]/ monstrous [[lava]] [[elemental]] being / lava [[golem]] / bigger [[magma]] rock behemoth  than anything else on Lyoko and capable of destroying anything in a single hit, with immense strength that is fueled by the combined power of its network Replikas of Lyoko sectors, The Kolossu has no visible laser weapon. Instead, with a giant [[blade]] replacing its left hand. Its body form is made of magma rock indestructible and one attack from it results in instant devirtualization. The only way to destroy it was to simultaneously attack the Eye of X.A.N.A. on its head and its left [[sword]] arm. it causes devirtualization by either stepping on its foes with it's feets, landing on them, or swiping at its enemies with its giant blade/sword-like hand, The Kolossus uses no strategy in battle; its only function is to devirtualize the Lyoko warriors and to destroy the Skid. While powerful, its size prevents it from attacking rapidly. Effectively being everything short of a walking [[volcano]]. It is impervious to any attack on its body, and its strength is so great, it can cause instant devirtualization and even destroy The Skidbladnir in a single hit. For X.A.N.A., however, the Kolossus' strength comes at the cost of requiring lots of energy to even generate it.
 
:In the video games, some monsters are exclusive to fight such as Cyberhoppers, Skarabs and Skorpion from ''[[Code Lyoko (video game)|Get Ready to Virtualize!]]'', Insekts, Volkanoids, Mountain Bug, Insekt Lord, Ice Spider, Desert Driller and Magma Worm in ''[[Code Lyoko: Quest for Infinity|Quest for Infinity]]'' and ''[[Code Lyoko: Fall of X.A.N.A.|Fall of X.A.N.A.]]'', other variants are called the"Dark Monsters" which are equipped with different abilities when in combat.
