Grosser Vass joined the Colonel's Regiment on Mission 6 6 Heidelberg. He was purchased from the Heidelberg Christmas market for two Euros. Initially, the Colonel's Regiment were unsure whether he was a sheep or a pig but have now decided he is a sheep (he baas when squeezed). He is friends with the Little Lucky Leprechaun and hence not favoured by Shaft and Kurt. He sports the largest grin ever seen on a sheep and was named in honour of the Grosses Fass.
Grosser Vass's making grosser round
Grosser Vass's making grosser round is part of the draw. A hat is perpared containing
- all absent Colonel's Men
- all mascots who have destinations at this point
- twice as many blank tiles as the total above, to give a one in three chance that a destination will be pulled out.
If a destination is pulled out, Grosser Vass takes it as its destination, so it is placed in the draw an extra time.
Interaction with Gløgg
If Gløgg bums Grosser Vass, three times as many blank tiles are used as destinations, reducing the chance to 1/4.
If Grosser Vass is helped, only one set of blank tiles is used, raising the chance to 1/2.
