Vax pranks Grog - shaves beard - tumblr nxo3pl6rWN1qhql5fo1 1280

Fan art of Vax'ildan shaving off Grog's beard in "The Feast" (1x24), by flyboy_elm.[art 1]

Grog and Vax'ildan have an antagonistic but friendly rivalry and often play pranks on each other.[2] This friendly competition soured when Vax shaved off half of Grog's beard. Grog held a grudge against Vax for this and sought opportunities for revenge until the rogue's dying day. Grog, like Vex'ahlia, seems to have little empathy for Vax and Keyleth's growing relationship, and Grog once tried to embarrass Vax in front of Keyleth by pantsing him (but failed).[3]

However, when facing off against Earthbreaker Groon, Vax was one of the people Grog asked to fight alongside him, which suggests that whatever his feelings toward Vax, he at least respects Vax's combat prowess. In return, Vax trusted Grog to be one of the two who would witness his death and protect his corpse from Artagan.[4] Vax's willingness to be choked to death only increased Grog's esteem for the rogue.[5]

Vax has repeatedly made it a point of entertaining and cheering up Grog. While visiting Ank'Harel, Vax took it upon himself to look after Grog due to the goliath attracting the attention of the people there.[6] During their time aboard the Drensala Vis, Vax spent time entertaining Grog so he wouldn't be sad without Pike and Scanlan.[7]
