Game Of Thrones: 10 Reasons It’s The Best TV Show Ever

7. The Mythical Creatures And Animals

A part of the show that really taps into our inner-child, the animals and mythical creatures found in GOT are often beautiful and devastating. While we'd all love to keep a direwolf for a pet, fully-grown dragons could prove potentially more problematic, as Khaleesi finds out in later shows. She, however, is made of sterner stuff than most. It's not only dragons and direwolves gracing our screens either, with mammoths, giants and white-walkers all appearing at some point to frighten and intrigue us. The white-walkers are especially important in terms of the show's popularity, as they provide thrills for the zombie lovers among us, as do the eerie Children of the Forest.
