8. The Sandman - Gregory

Everyone knows that killing animals off in TV shows is pure evil, and Netflix's The Sandman only went and did it twice! The first of these demises was the death of Dream's beloved raven Jessamy. However, while that one stung, it was the death of Gregory that really tugged at the viewer's heartstrings.

After losing everything, Morpheus (otherwise known as Dream) was forced to go back to his land and attempt to regain his strength. There he ran into Cain and Abel alongside their adorable pet Gargoyle Gregory. This guy was the cute figure this show needed, but things were about to get painful.

In order to summon Hecate, Morpheus needed to "take Gregory back", essentially erasing him from existence to give himself some power back. This scene was as heartbreaking as it comes, as this innocent and kind creature willingly gave himself over to the one who created him.

While most entries on this list consist of brutal executions or violent conflicts, this is a simple and poignant scene that shows a brave character making one final sacrifice - poor little Gregory.
