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

10. Wight Snow Bear

Cause Of Death: Stabbed with dragonglass by Jorah Mormont, and set on fire for good measure.

After Beyond The Wall, the showrunners stated they'd be trying to get a polar bear into the show for years, and this was the first time they'd actually succeeded. Based on the end result, you can see why they wanted it, and it was worth the wait.

The wight snow bear was a superb bit of monster movie mayhem, rapidly emerging on the scene and tearing at the heroes. It was a frenetic, frightful fight, and the fact Jorah Mormont - he of Bear Island - delivered the fatal blow was a great touch, while seeing the animal itself was another impressive use of the show's CGI budget (but imagine how good it would've been to see Ghost fighting the bear...).
