10 Game Of Thrones Warriors Who Could Defeat The Mountain
3. Khal Drogo
"I will kill the men in iron suits and tear down their stone houses. I will rape their women, take their children as slaves, and bring their broken gods back to Vaes Dothrak. This, I vow, I, Drogo, son of Bharbo."
The scenes depicting Drogo's slow demise are incredibly sad for fans, not just because he is so beloved by Daenerys, but because we knew that we wouldn't see Drogo do battle against the Jaime Lannisters and Gregor Cleganes of the world. The famed warlord of the Dothraki was an exceptional warrior, even by the standards of his war-loving people.
The Khal died undefeated in combat, documented by his super-long braid (which the Dothraki must cut every time they are beaten in combat). Drogo is considered extremely young to be ruling his own khalasar, testament to how dominant he is among the nomadic people. Much like Oberyn, Drogo forgoes the heavy armour customarily worn by Westeros soldiers, sacrificing security for speed.
Drogo seems to be every bit as fast as Oberyn but is also incredibly powerful. If Drogo managed to get inside the reach of The Mountains huge sword, he would be able to go to work with his arakh (curved Dothraki blade) and dual daggers.
However, Drogo also shares the same weakness as Oberyn. He is so contemptuous of the challenge of insubordinate Mago that he allows him to cause a minor wound. Though Drogo annihilates Mago in some style with his own blade, the wound he allowed the rebel to inflict would eventually fester and kill him. Khal Drogo would end up the same way as Oberyn if he showboated against an opponent as dangerous as Gregor Clegane. As long as he remained respectful of the threat posed by The Mountain, Kahl Drogo's natural killing ability would come to the fore, allowing his braid to grow even longer.
