Großmesser is a boss in Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors. An agent of Xiphos the Deathbringer, he is encountered at the top of the Tower of Mirrors, which the Hero's party ascends in hopes of encountering the evil demon. He reveals himself briefly, only to sic Großmesser on them, who postures at length before engaging them in battle. In keeping with the Dragon Quest Swords quirk of all characters being named after a type of sword, a großes Messer is a type of German single-edged sword, similar to a falchion.
