— Grassy, Lick Your Way to Freedom
|
Grassy is a contestant on Battle for BFDI. He was one of the 30 recommended characters that could've been voted to join Battle for Dream Island. Like Remote and Pie, Grassy only received 7 votes and placed 17th place and was flung into the Locker of Losers.
Appearance
Grassy appears to be comprised of blades of grass, and his body is green. His appearance has never been changed until BFB, where he got a round bottom to make his design more connected.
Changes
BFDI/BFDIA
- Grassy is a female.
- Grassy is darker.
IDFB
- Grassy is brighter.
- Grassy is smaller.
BFB
- Grassy is now a male.
- Grassy gets a new, wavier design.

Personality
Grassy appears to be quite silly and joyful, as he enjoys funny doings, much like Blocky. He usually talks in the third person point of view, always saying his own name when referring to himself. He is not afraid of sharing his feelings, like when he told Blocky that he wanted to be more respected by his team. He also considers himself to be useful. These facts seem to show that he has a rather high self-esteem, but not quite to the point of being arrogant or egotistical. He appears to have a difficult time talking, as one time he needed assistance from Basketball to find a word.
Gender
Grassy's gender was under debate for some time after the release of "Lick Your Way to Freedom". He was said to be a female in a live stream on Jacknjellify by Cary Huang, who is the creator of Battle for Dream Island, but in Lick Your Way to Freedom, he was referred to as a male by Blocky, since Michael Huang and Satomi Hinatsu now make Battle for BFDI.
As of November 22, 2017, it appears that Grassy's gender has been resolved. Satomi Hinatsu said on HTwins Central that although “Streams and vlogs can be helpful sources but at the end of the day it’s what’s in the episode that’s true”, and that she had informed Cary about his statement on the live stream, and informed that she had changed his gender to male.

Detail
BFDI
Grassy was one of the many recommended characters to jump into a vat of hydrochloric acid to retrieve Bally and Marble.
In "The Reveal", he is one of the 30 recommended characters up for joining. His audition features him appearing from camouflage. However, he receives 7 votes, which is not enough, so he, along with Remote and Pie, is sent to the LOL.
BFDIA
In BFDIA, Grassy was eligible to compete, but he only received 53 votes, ranking 55th out of everyone. Only Roboty, Tree, Saw, Bottle and Bracelety received fewer votes with 50, 49, 36, 29 and 18 votes respectively. Gaty received 1 more vote than him, with 54.
Grassy was later seen in the background in "No More Snow!" along with 8-Ball and Bell, who also failed to join, implying they had escaped the Locker of Losers, but in "Welcome Back", they are back inside.
IDFB
As mentioned above, Grassy was put back into the TLC at some point.
In "Welcome Back", he only appears in the voting card.
BFB
In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", he and Basketball discuss about how Loser's great. He is seen later when Black Hole slowly sucks up the objects.
He is picked onto Golf Ball's team, by Basketball. Once in, he announces that his team is up to do some "funny doings", making Blocky interested.
During the challenge, he asks Golf Ball what his purpose is, but he is immediately belittled by Golf Ball, who calls him "an overgrown section of the lawn the gardener forgot to mow". Shortly after Golf Ball's death, 8-Ball assumes temporary team leader, and Grassy says "Why not Grassy?" 8-Ball's usage of the trebuchet brings 
immunity.
In "Lick Your Way to Freedom", he is first seen with Blocky, saying that he needs respect. He is seen yelling at Four, and when he has the chance to speak (cutting off Saw and Stapy), he asks Four to recover Tennis Ball, which he does. However, he is still yelling at Four.
8-Ball chomps on a jawbreaker to free Golf Ball, and is safe for another day. Blocky shows sympathy for Grassy, reporting Golf Ball's abuse of him to her. Basketball then deems 8-Ball the team leader.
The only appearance of Grassy in "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset" was him getting onto his team's swingset. Once again, the team finishes 6th.
In "Today's Very Special Episode", he does not speak. When he starts to draw, Golf Ball and 8-Ball start to argue in which direction Grassy should go. Later, Golf Ball nabs the marker from Grassy and starts to scribble. Despite this, barely wins, placing 6th again and behind 
.
His sole appearance in "Fortunate Ben" is on his team's plane, which never hit the ground.
In "Four Goes Too Far", his first appearance was in the heart scene, getting the Twinkle once. He gets in Golf Ball's Rocket to escape to space. What wasn't known to either Grassy nor the Better Namers is that team 
has also hitched a ride along.
With five minutes on the timer, and have a stare-off, passing the Twinkle to one another. However, Taco gives the Twinkle to Bell, saving both teams, but the rocket breaks and they are stranded on the Moon.
In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", he, his team and are still stuck on the Moon. He first appears looking at Pie flying away to the distance, commenting that the situation back at Earth "seems chaotic".
He later changes the position of the rocket's communicator dish numerous times, until the rocket becomes unstable. However, he "is here to protect", and nudges the rocket. That results in connection being lost, giving Remote the ability to send a bomb Robot Flower's way. If the bomb explodes, everyone on the Moon will die, so Robot Flower closes the connection between her and Remote, sacrificing a win for her teammates - and 's - safety.
In "Questions Answered", after finding out Donut can trasmit matter through the camera, which is being communicated through TV, Basketball tells him to get them back to Earth that way, and Grassy agrees to. When they do get back to Earth (which is caused by Donut rolling the Earth itself through the camera and out of TV), Cake At Stake properly starts, and all of the team are sitting far away from Donut. He says they didn't have to sit so far, and this is followed by Grassy going inside his hole, and then the rest of the team join him. Grassy is the 3rd safe.
Relationships
Blocky
Grassy views Blocky as a friend, as both like "funny doings." Grassy saved Blocky from landing on the ground when he was pushed off the tree by Robot Flower. Blocky also stood up for Grassy when Golf Ball disrespected him due to these things.
Golf Ball
Grassy is an enemy of Golf Ball because Golf Ball says he is useless most of the time and insults him by claiming (by himself) that he "is an overgrown section of the lawn someone forgot to mow", although it's probably because it looks like he is camouflaging, meaning that Golf Ball didn't know that he's a contestant. However, in Four Goes Too Far, Grassy seems to respect that Golf Ball is the team leader again and follows her orders.
Basketball
When the teams are made, Basketball invites Grassy onto A Better Name Than That. After learning Golf Ball disrespects Grassy, she makes 8-Ball the new team leader.
Tennis Ball
In Lick Your Way to Freedom, Tennis Ball tries and fails to prevent the team captain's change to 8-Ball. In the same episode, Grassy decides to recover Tennis Ball rather than Golf Ball or any of the other contestants.. However, in Today's Very Special Episode, Tennis Ball says that he does not want to disrespect him.

- Half a Loaf Is Better Than None: Walks into a vat of hydrochloric acid.
- Reveal Novum: Is crushed by the sun with the other recommended characters in the LOL.
