Game Of Thrones: Ranking EVERY Major Death Worst To Best
7. Khal Drogo
Death: Smothered by Daenerys as a mercy-kill after a spell from a vengeful witch rendered him catatonic.
This one was so, so sad.
Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) was a brutal warlord, but the first season did an incredible job of humanising him and showing him as being, all things considered, OK in many ways and a genuinely loving husband to Daenerys.
Therefore, the scene in which Daenerys smothers him as a mercy-kill is extremely hard to watch and desperately upsetting. He's also one of several characters who went down in the first season and left the show far earlier than most would've expected them to.
Drogo did appear one more time in a dream sequence in season two and that was a deeply moving scene as well. Still, let's look on the bright side: at least he was spared the sight of what his beloved Daenerys would turn into come season eight.
