"Lars Einnicken" (meaning Lars Nod-off), the shepherd, appears to be very old and sleepy, which is why he dozes most of the time and walks around only slowly. He objects to Sven's behaviour, but will not attack him unless Sven is presently engaging in lewd conduct with a sheep. Of all Sven's enemies, Lars is probably the least dangerous. From game 2 onwards, Lars will drink any wine bottles he finds, falling asleep immediately. Given his short range of sight and slow speed, they are the most unreliable distraction.
