Metallicana, Lars Ulu

ラーズ・ウル・メタ＝リカーナ

Fifteen years prior to the series' beginning, he engaged Dark Schneider in a battle that stretched over several days. By that time, Dark Schneider had already conquered most of Earth and needed only a few more kingdoms to rule the entire world. Lars found himself losing the fight and saw no chance of victory. With no other option, he summoned the "Dragon Knight," a mechanical robot standing over 500 meters tall, originally created by the Twelve Wise Men of Europa. The dragon, which absorbed and multiplied the spiritual energy of its user, proved effective and helped Lars kill Dark Schneider. However, the Dragon Knight was cursed; it was intended for use against Anthrax, not Dark Schneider, who was meant to be the armor's ultimate wielder. This curse transformed Lars into a baby dragon. Following Dark Schneider's death, Lars is said to have gone missing or even died, as no one knew what truly happened that day.
In his baby dragon form, Lars spends his time searching for a successor to the Dragon Knight. He was eventually found by Gara, the ninja master and one of the "Four Lords of Havoc," and became his pet. He even follows Dark Schneider around to observe him, fully aware that they were once deadly enemies.
His name is likely a reference to Lars Ulrich, the drummer of the famous metal band ''Metallica''
