Game Of Thrones Season 7: Every Death Ranked From Worst To Best

14. Obara And Nymeria Sand

Cause Of Deaths: Impaled with her spear; choked to death.

Farewell Sand Snakes, we hardly knew ye. At least, not the group of strong, skilled women from the books, with the show completely botching the Dorne storyline and Prince Oberyn's bastards with it.

The writers set about 'fixing' that in Season 6, and continued it here with the deaths of Obara and Nymeria. They still didn't get to do much before their demise, but at least they did get to go out as part of the excellent battle at sea.

They also served to reaffirm Euron Greyjoy's villainous status and how dangerous he can be, especially with the sadistic touch of having them on the front of the ship, hanging from their own weapons.
