Game of Thrones: 7 Dead Or Missing Characters Who Could Return

6. Nymeria

Spared death all the way back in season 1, Arya's beloved direwolf ran away when she threw stones at her to help her escape execution. Of course, Sansa€™s wolf Lady ultimately paid the price, but Nymeria is still out there somewhere, at large. References are made throughout the books to a huge €œshe-wolf€ roaming around the Riverlands, while Arya herself has €˜wolf-dreams€™ and shows signs of being a warg like her brothers John and Bran. Indeed, it is strongly suggested that it is Arya, as Nymeria, who pulls the corpse of her mother from the river before the Brotherhood come along. While this hasn€™t been shown on TV, given the wolf hasn€™t died and the importance of the connection between the Starks and their wolves, there€™s every reason to expect a reunion at some point.
