I'd say there's more to it than that. There are very few monsters/creatures on Xena. They did more of them on Hercules. Xena mostly faces human foes or the gods. The series was designed before the Buffy mold of having one "big bad" per season. Characters like Callisto and Caesar come in and out throughout the series.
