Game Of Thrones Season 7: Every Death Ranked From Worst To Best

Cause Of Death: Felled by an ice spear courtesy of the Night King.

A dragon dying was heavily foreshadowed throughout the season, but that didn't make the occasion when it actually happened any less momentous.

Sure, the show hadn't invested much time in Viserion, but seeing him brought down by the Night King was shocking, the screeches of the dragons awful to hear, and the pain it caused Daenerys palpable.

It also massively changed the game, taking a huge weapon away from the living, upending various dragonrider theories, and giving the Night King a way of bringing down the Wall, while that final shot of the blue eye was a stunner.
