Herb Pichon is an eighth grader and the brains of Sissi's Gang. He is the academic rival of Jeremie, and is just as smart as him, if not more. The difference between him and Jeremie is the fact he exploits knowledge for personal gain, wheras Jeremie exploits it to help others. Herb has a big crush on Sissi, and is therefore constantly mean to Ulrich, Theo, and basically everyone.

The Ice Barrier Sector is a sector of Lyoko. It is the most difficult one to locate Towers in, as many of them are hidden in caves or underneath the surface of the sector. Numerous monsters, including Hornets and Crabs, inhabit this icy area. XANA's most important plots are usually concealed here. It has virtual water which can be swum across, as Odd does it in one episode.

The Scyphozoa is one of XANA's monsters, and the most dangerous. Originating from Carthage, the Scyphozoa pursued Aelita whenever she came to Lyoko during the second season. It used its tentacles to get rid of obstacles and, ultimately, suck out victims' memories. In The Key, it succeeded, but the Princess's memories were restored by her father's self-sacrifice.

Teddygozilla is the first episode of Code: LYOKO. It aired on April 19, 2004, although hardly gave any backstory for the show. The plot of the episode centers on Milly, who, after being insulted by Sissi, asks Ulrich to the school prom to defend herself. After Ulrich sadly denies her request, saying he's going with Yumi, Milly runs away crying and seeks comfort in her teddy bear. XANA later possesses the stuffed animal and attacks Sissi and Jim. Odd investigates the situation and informs Jeremie of the problem, and he goes to Lyoko to assess the situation. Meanwhile, Ulrich tries to contact Yumi, and after going to her house, they proceed to evacuate the school. The bear crashes through the Gym's door, much to Sissi's chagrin, and proceeds to try and kill Ulrich. In Lyoko, Odd fights Roachsters and a Megatank before Aelita deactivates the Tower. The bear is frozen before he can cause too much damage, and after a return into the past, Ulrich agrees to go out with Milly.

Lyoko Freak is a Code: LYOKO fansite created by Erynn in 2005. It originally was only a forum, but spread to incorporate an information network that had data on the characters, romances, and many other minor features including the lyrics for A World Without Danger, forums, and quizzes on the show. Although it is a mildly popular site, it is not updated often, and when it is, changes are not major. The site changes its format every six months or so for variety. The site sometimes refuses to post messages into the guestbook for no apparent reason. It recently refused to post a link to Code: WIKI for unknown purposes. It also does not list XANA as a character, and many of the shippings are completely made-up and are not actually in the show. The site also contains Erynn's favorite fanfictions and fanart. It remains a popular site today albeit various mistakes and assumptions its administration makes.

Jeremie's Gang, also known as the Lyoko Gang or Team Lyoko, among other names, is the primary organization dedicated to fighting the vile XANA. Probably originally organized by Jeremie Belpois, the gang currently also includes Yumi Ishiyama, Ulrich Stern, Odd Della Robbia, and Aelita. They have since become very close friends, and often never leave each other's company, which has on some cases resulted in undesirable situations and interrogations. They fight XANA and his attacks by virtualizing themselves into a virtual world called Lyoko. Led by Jeremie, the team constantly must be on guard for potential XANA attacks, whilst making sure their allies at Kadic Academy do not get injured, die, or remember any of the events that transpire.

Lazer Arrows are weapons Odd Della Robbia, a member of Jeremie's Gang, uses in Lyoko to protect Aelita against XANA's monsters. Obviously the most advanced of our heroes' offensive gadgetry, Lazer Arrows are small pointed arrowheads that Odd can fire out of his paw-like launchers that are always attached to his arms in Lyoko. The Lazer Arrows have undergone many changes over time. Originally actual black arrows, Jeremie obviously soon adjusted them to be merely gold arrowheads. Later, he changed them to be silver. Lazer Arrows do ten damage to monsters reguralily, but do infinite amounts of damage if fired into a monsters Eye of XANA.

Towers are devices within Lyoko that allow programs and People to communicate with the real world or influence it. Although mostly used by Aelita as a means to communicate with her friends, they can also be used by XANA, Franz Hopper, and Jeremie to influence Lyoko or objects in Earth. Towers can be activated and deactivated by all of the aforementioned individuals, and sometimes serve as sanctuaries for Lyokons. However, they can be destroyed by monsters, most notably, Megatanks. There are 40 towers in Lyoko, no counting the ones stationed within Carthage. Some of them can be used to go from one sector to another, these are known as Passage Towers.

The Overbike is one of the Lyoko Warriors' vehicles that Jeremie created in New Order. A well-balanced form of transport, the Overbike is unique from the other vehicles in the fact that it does not normally float; when in the sectors, it commonly rolls around on its single wheel, although it can fly if the situation calls for it. The Overbike is usually commandeered by Ulrich, although Aelita has been known to use it on occasion. It is somewhat manueverable, and is mostly meant to be used with hit-and-run tactics, as demonstrated in various episodes. One laser from a monster usually devirtualizes the Overbike.

The biggest enemy known to Team Lyoko, the Kolossus is a colossal monster that looks like it's made up of molten and hardened lava. It has a huge arm which it uses as a sword to attack Team Lyoko and the Skid. Hitting just one Eye of XANA has no effect, although it slows it down for a period of time. In Down to Earth it destroys the Skid with one strike. In order to destroy it, one would have to simultaneously hit the Eye of XANA on its head and its arm. Ulrich managed this feat in Fight to the Finish, thus destroying it.

UlrichxYumi is probably the most wide-spread shipping in the Code: LYOKO community. It, as the name suggests, supports the romance of Ulrich and Yumi, and is supported by the show itself as well. Some episodes are even based on it, and one particular scene in Garage Kids heavily hints at it in a more sexual way. Ulrich usually never has the courage to tell Yumi how he feels about her, and neither does Yumi, but in A Bad Turn Ulrich is encourged to tell her by the rest of the team (except for Yumi) but when he gets to her house he finds William all over her and gets angry and leaves. In the episode Routine they have a fight, but at the end they almost kiss, shown in the picture on the side. Also, in Lab Rat, it is shown to be Yumi's birthday, which Ulrich forgets. She states that she never misses his birthday but Ulrich made this up to her by giving her a present (Which was supposed to be a necklace, but Odd got it mixed up with a dog bone he got for Kiwi).

A World Without Danger is the theme song for Code: LYOKO. It is heard at the beginning of each episode. Franz Hopper's description of Lyoko as "a world where we will be safe" is a retcon reference to the song. In the show the song was made by the Subdigitals, and one of the Code Lyoko Comics has a concert mentioning this song. The song has two versions, a 45 sec. version used as the Shows theme which consists of the Choras, and another version sung by the Subdigitals with a length of 3:45 min.

XANA's Robot Army were products of the Siberian Research Facility and Replika 4. The robots were designed to destroy all humanity. XANA, ever since building his replikas, has assined each replika to build a function of this robot, For instance, Replika 3 was making Cybertronic Brains. The Robots are believed to be late version of XANA's Original Robot in Season 1's The Robots, only with more "muscle" and firepower. The robots had the ability to fire lasers from their wrists. Their weakness was the Eye of XANA plate on their left shoulders. The army was supposedly shut down permanently when XANA was killed in Fight to the Finish.

Aelita, real name Aelita Schaeffer (Aelita Hopper in referral to Franz Hopper), Aelita Stones at Kadic, is a human-turned virtual being, and the daughter of Franz Hopper. She is the technical ruler of Lyoko in as much as one exists, one of the leaders of Team Lyoko (though we have not seen her take command in Jeremie's absence), and for the most part the target of XANA's schemes. Aelita is also one of the characters with an unnatural hair color, the other being one of her protectors, Odd. XANA is also her sworn enemy and is after her. She has a relationship with Jeremie.

Carthage, also known as Sector 5, is the hub of Lyoko and is spherical in shape, connected to the four sectors by data tunnels. It seems to house much crucial data relating to Lyoko, the supercomputer's functions, and in the past, XANA. It was named after Project Carthage. The walls of Carthage are a light blue and covered in a moving binary code. When Team Lyoko comes to Carthage, they can either take the main elevator which carries them up to an interface panel on Carthage's surface, take the access elevator to their Virtual Ship, or they can travel to a section of the Core Zone if they need to get something there. The interface panel has a direct link to the supercomputer, thus allowing Aelita to help Jeremie recover information from it.

Creativity is a Lyoko Power used by Aelita, it allows her to alter Lyoko's landscape, create shields and (when she is a spectre) interface with technology. In the first season, creativity was Aelita's central weapon and shield until she developed the Energy Field in season 3. In season 4, Aelita mixed the energy field with her creativity to create a huge energy shield to defend the Skid, this shield managed to withstand an onslaught by two Megatanks and William. Creativity is also the only Lyoko power to be used when the team have been translated into the real world from a Replika.
