ZEXAL|89|ref}}</ref> is species of beings originating from the [[Barian World]], a high-energy world in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' anime. Most of them were once human, but have been reincarnated as Barians. The majority of those lived in the [[United Lands of the Poseidon Ocean]] before their death, hence why [[Reginald Kastle|Nasch]] was reborn as their leader. The [[Seven Barian Emperors]] is a group made up of Barians. The [[Fearsome Four of the Dark Dueling World]] is a thuggish group of Barians. Also, since the [[Barian World]] was originally part of the [[Astral World]] before the [[Chaos (power)|Chaos]] was banished from it, a small portion of the Barians were originally beings from the Astral World. |

Furthermore, all of them have what seem to be crystals and/or armored-like plates on their bodies, such as Mizar's face resembling a mask, Girag's face resembling a helmet, and Dumon having gems on his body. Also unlike humans, they seem to lack certain organs such as mouth or nose, or perhaps those organs are otherwise not seen; despite this, their senses appear unhampered, as is their ability to speak. They also have crystals for hearts. | |

They can even exist in the real world in their true forms, an ability that only [[Dumon]] had demonstrated before the introduction of the Barians belonging to this species. |

The only major resemblance between both their Barian and human form is their hair, which only changes color.<ref name="ep80">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|80|ref}}</ref> As energy beings, they have remarkable tolerance to pain, even in human form; [[Girag]] was able to take a punch in the face from [[Fender]] without so much as a flinch.<ref name="ep74" /> [[Dumon]], [[Semimaru]], [[Kurage]], [[Kaninja]], and [[Mr. Heartland]] however, can retain their true Barian forms on Earth. <ref name="ep108">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

"CXyz" monsters originate from the Barian World and are produced there as "weapons" to defeat the "[[Number]]s".<ref name="ep74" /> While in human form, Barians cannot wield them, but they can use "[[Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force]]" to brainwash humans into doing so for them.<ref name="ep80" /> The Brainwashing effect seems to vary depending on who does the brainwashing. Girag's victims retain their personalities, but become devoted to serving the Barian World, while Vector's victims are more like sleeper agents; retaining their original personalities until the brainwashing activates when they draw "[[Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force|Barian's Force]]", at which point they become ruthless and sadistic like Vector himself. Alito's brainwashing on the other hand completely robs the victim of free will and personality. Interestingly the Barians themselves are not immune to being brainwashed as seen when Girag brainwashed Vector (though he could have been faking). In addition, if a Barian were to lose a Duel to a person using a "CXyz", they would vanish from existence, just as Astral would if he lost to a "Number".<ref name="ep81">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!
