Umlaut is the secondary antagonist of the video game CarnEvil. He is CarnEvil's tour guide, as well as the demonic underling and enforcer of Ludwig von Tökkentäkker.
He is voiced by Jack E. Haeger, who also voices his master in the same game.
Main Role[]
Umlaut appears in the opening cut scene of CarnEvil (which is often played as the INSERT COINS screen on the arcade machine) after the protagonist(s) insert the token into Umlaut's mouth. Umlaut opens his eyes and comes to life, soaring into the air. CarnEvil rises from the ground and Umlaut lunges at the viewer. For the most part, Umlaut acts as a tour guide of sorts by introducing each section of the park via a simple rhyme [which, of course, threatens and insults the player(s)]. Umlaut also appears on some of the park's decor, such as being the face of the train belonging to Junior, the boss of the Freak Show level.
Boss Battle[]

During the final battle against Ludwig von Tökkentäkker, Umlaut is summoned as a sub-boss to attack the player. He mostly resorts to rush tactics and does damage by biting. The player(s) defeats Umlaut, causing him to break apart, and ultimately goes on to defeat Tökkentäkker. However, when the protagonist(s) find themselves once again in the cemetery before Tökkentäkker's grave, the coin is inserted once more, thus prompting the players to play the game again.

Umlaut cracks wise jokes and insults the player (such as suggesting that the player is an attraction in the Freak Show section). He is very loyal to Tökkentäkker. He acts something of an enforcer, getting the park in order and attacking anyone at Tökkentäkker's command. It is indicated that some of the other residents of the park view Umlaut as a bit of a "kiss ass." This is emphasized as seen in a chalkboard that has a foolish-looking portrait of Umlaut with the text "Umlaut is a kiss ass".
