Game Of Thrones Season 8: Predicting The Fate Of Every Character

23. Ghost

Oh, f**k.

The showrunners essentially killed off Ghost anyway but not including him at all in Season 7, and their whole treatment of the direwolves so far means that, yeah, he's probably going to die. But it's still not nice to think about the murder of one of Westeros' best doggos (they're all good...).

Ghost at least deserves an on-screen death, and the most fitting way for him to go out would be making the save for Jon Snow. The TV series hasn't really developed their connection in the way the books have, but it'd at least be a nice nod towards it and a heroic last moment for Ghost. We can probably assume Nymeria dies too, and could also return to make a similar save on Arya, although their last farewell carried enough emotional value that they don't necessarily need to show her again.
