Xaa is a Realm mentioned in the Mortal Kombat cartoon series Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm.

This realm consists entirely of a jungle-like wilderness with huge spikey rocks, and an empty Asian-styled, temple-like castle at the center of the realm. Not much more is known about this strange dimension, other than it is one of the realms, along with Outworld, where Raiden has no dominion and is seemingly powerless inside.

When Princess Kitana's old friend Rain arrived in Earthrealm, he and his band of rebels dedicated to her father's memory bring news that Shao Kahn and his forces are prepared to lay claim to Xaa and steal a scimitar hidden in a temple within that realm. And with that scimitar that has have been said to defeat many warriors with one strike, Kahn would crush any enemy and rebellion that dared to stand in his way. Kitana agreed to go with him but Liu Kang, among his friends who barely trust him, was more concerned for Kitana. Raiden appeared and agreed to open the portal to Xaa.

But when they arrive, they were attacked by a siege of scarlet demonic creatures which appeared out of a portal, but they beat them and got them on the run. In that moment, Rain unleashes a smoke pillar and takes Kitana with him into the portal. Raiden arrives in Xaa and tells the Earthrealm warriors that they are needed back in Earthrealm, revealing that the scimitar, Shao Kahn's invasion of Xaa and Rain's rebel group were all a lie. Liu Kang and Kurtis Stryker chose to stay behind to rescue Kitana.

When inside the castle in Xaa, both of them were attacked by Motaro and his fellow Centaurs that are guarding Rain and Princess Kitana on behalf of Shao Kahn. Motaro was beaten and the Centaurs were distracted by Stryker while Liu Kang goes to rescue her. Liu Kang opens the secret passageway through a fountain within the castle's antechamber using his chi. He then entered a cavernous chamber where Kitana was to be sacrificed to a green creature with five insectoid heads with three claw-like fingers on both hands. Liu Kang defeated the beast and saved Kitana. They regroup with Stryker and tried to escape Xaa, but they were all stopped by the traitor Rain. Kitana decided to defeat Rain by herself. Rain uses a stone spiked club from the armory of his castle to attack Kitana, but she easily bests him and wins. But Rain had destroyed some pillars during the fight, and the remaining ones could no longer support the structure of the castle, and as such the entire building began to collapse. Rain escaped and Raiden appeared to rescue Kitana, Liu Kang and Kurtis Stryker and take them back to Earthrealm. The castle in Xaa was completely destroyed.
