    18. Xiphophorus - a genus of Poeciliid (live-bearing) fishes native to Mexico and Central America, commonly known as "swordtails" and popular in the aquarium trade. Platies are in the same genus, but unlike swordtails, male platies do not have the lower extension on the caudal fin.

    Other related aquarium fishes include guppies and mollies. All are ovoviviparus, with the eggs hatching internally and the young being born free-swimming.

    21. Xanos Messarmos is a character in the game NeverWinter Nights. Hi is a male half-orc barbarian/sorcerer. He is quite intelligent but is egotistical and somewhat power-hungry. Xanos is one of the disciples of the master adventurer, Drogan Droganson.

    Xanos is arrogant, but always has a point and tells good, ironic jokes about other people.

    Although it is rather difficult, it is possible to enter into a romantic relationship with Xanos, provided that you are a female character and your charisma is high.
