Game Of Thrones Season 7: Predicting Who Lives And Who Dies

8. The Direwolves

The show likes to keep killing off direwolves, partially as its a way of keeping CGI costs down, but also because it's a way of hurting the Stark children, stripping away ties to their youth as they're force to grow-up far too quickly.

There are now just two direwolves left alive, and one of them hasn't been seen since the first season. However, with Arya finally back in Westeros, the time seems right for a reunion with Nymeria, and it'd be too soon to kill her off. Ghost has been slightly more prominent, which in a way puts him more at risk. But the Starks have suffered enough: the focus now is on getting them back together, and that should include the remaining wolves.

Prediction: The pack survives (can you call two wolves a 'pack'?).
