Aria the Z

Aria, the Zauberflöte, a Tyrant

Tyrants (Japanese: オーバード Ōbādo, Overeds) are enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X that have higher stats and potentially unique skills — similar to minibosses or Superbosses in other games.

Tyrants have unique names and there is only one of each of these monsters in the world. Tyrants are similar to Unique Monsters from other games in the Xenoblade Chronicles series. All Tyrants have a special frame when looking at them and have special symbols with their level tag. Some tyrants may also have a unique color palette and distinguishing features such as pre-broken appendages. Some Tyrants have unique abilities, such as automatically restoring health (Buchwald, the Guardian), reflecting attributes (Go-rha, the Guardian Deity), having 100 resistance to one or more attributes (Sven, the Sturdy), or reacting to the status of another nearby Tyrant (Gesserith, the Wileworm).

There are 251 Tyrants listed in the Enemy Index. 210 Tyrants have a name that consists of a first-name and a qualifier noun or expression according to the format "(First name), the (Qualifier)" such as Oskar, the Summer Squall. Ganglion-created Mechanoids have simpler titles that describe the function of the Tyrant followed by the species name, such as Air Support Galdr. Some of these Tyrants are Skells owned by Ganglion Tyrants, such as Lyla's Galdr for Lyla, the Lustrous. Nahum, the Red Hare is not listed since she usually cannot be defeated, although she summons Nardacyon, the Shadowless once her HP is reduced to 25% while under certain conditions. A level 32 Simius Tyrant known as the "Iron-fist Bruno" appeared in the early presentations of the game as a beta enemy in an early Primordia, and it retains a mention in-game as "Bruno the Iron-fisted" in dialogue with Da Zeulbe.

These individual named Tyrants are a threat to Humans. For some Missions it is required to slay them. Intending to confront and fight them demands a thorough preparation. Volkampf, the Pursuer is the only Story Exclusive and Mission Exclusive Tyrant, it is only encountered during Chapter 2.

The game keeps track of the number of times each Tyrant has been defeated and has defeated a party. While online, these stats are uploaded to the server and the total amounts are displayed separately from the singleplayer stats, recorded in the Enemy Index. Each Tyrant can have a bronze, silver, or gold crown before its name to indicate its approximate threat level. Tyrants can earn these crowns by killing 750, 16000, and 90000 players respectively (note that the values are different in the Japanese version of the game). If the game starts while offline, the crowns and global stats will not be shown, and player contributions towards global stats will not be saved.

A specific track, "Uncontrollable", is associated with battles against most Tyrants, although some, such as Dadaan, the Strongest Prone and Pharsis, the Everqueen, use "CR17S19S8" to denote their exceptional ability, while Telethia, the Endbringer and Phanatos, the Netherlord use "raTEoREkiSImeAra" and "In the Forest<X→Z ver.>" respectively, themes unique to the Telethia and Yggralith.

When a Tyrant is defeated, it has a chance to drop a Holofigure depicting the variant of the Tyrant it was obtained from. These holofigures can only be found in silver drops, and cannot be found in gold or bronze drops. For multiple Tyrants with the same variation, the respective holofigure can be obtained from any of them.
