Cosmic Silverback

The Cosmic Silverback is a silverback gorilla in the Call of Duty: Black Ops bonus game Dead Ops Arcade and is set to appear in Ascension.

Dead Ops Arcade
In DOA, the Cosmic Silverback appears as a gorilla dressed in cosmonaut garb that will occasionally appear every 5 rounds, and in round 40, where the player has to kill him as well as hold off zombies and hellhounds. It can kill the player, but the player is able to move to the next room without interacting at all with the Silverback. The Cosmic Silverback is easy to kill if the player has a ray gun, flamethrower, or death machine. He is also killable with 1-3 nukes. In the cutscene following the end of the game, the Silverback will steal all of the player's treasure.

Trivia

 * The Cosmic Silverback has many brothers. This can be seen on any loading screen in Call of Duty: Black Ops online matches, mostly Zombies. It makes reference to when the player kills the Cosmic Silverback, another one will appear and knock the player away to the starting island.
 * Most players may run when the Cosmic Silverback appears at the end of a wave and tries to take their treasure, but they can easily shoot at him and scare him away.
 * The Cosmic Silverback has a soviet flag on his left arm and a hammer & sickle on his back, indicating that he is from Russia.
 * Close to the end, a rocket ship with "CCCP" written on it can be found. This is probably where the Cosmic Silverback came from.
 * You can get a picture of the Cosmic Silverback's face for an emblem.
 * A picture of the Cosmic Silverback can be seen on the back of a book in "Five" while noclipping. It describes an ape being sent to the moon and returning to Earth. A picture can also be seen depicting a zombified ape, possibly what the Cosmic Silverback will look like in Ascension.
 * Interestingly, the Cosmic Silverback could be a reference to monkeys being send to space during the cold war and being returned back to Earth later on.
