Lars Ümlaüt is a character from the Guitar Hero series, representing the Extreme/Black Metal genre - particularly the Scandinavian regional scenes. He is inspired by Abbath (Immortal), using Metallica's drummer: Lars Ulrich. His name also recalls the so-called Heavy Metal Umlaut, seen with the likes of Motörhead, Queensrÿche and (parodically) Spın̈al Tap (umlaut over the N).

Since his first appearance in Guitar Hero II, he has appeared again in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, and Guitar Hero World Tour
