Season 2
In Weirdmageddon Part 1," during the cold open, Bill introduces Xanthar with the rest of his demon friends to the residents of Gravity Falls. Afterwards, on Main Street, Xanthar and the other demons watch Bill turn Ford into a golden statue and taunt Dipper before burning the journals. Later in the episode, Xanthar is seen playing "Spin the Person" and enjoying the "V.I.P." party Bill is having at the Fearamid until Time Baby and the Time Police crash the party, but to the demons delight Bill vaporizes Time Baby and his squadron. The party then continues as Xanthar and the other demons rejoice over Time Baby's presumed death.
In "Weirdmageddon 2: Escape From Reality," Xanthar and the rest of Bill's minions attempt to leave Gravity Falls and spread their chaos across the world, but are stopped by an invisible barrier.
