Finally, yes, that was Mastodon (or, at least, Brann, Bill and Brent) in the episode seven finale, The Dragon And The Wolf, of season seven of Game Of Thrones – staggering around at the base of the Wall as part of the White Walker horde. Did you catch ‘em? It was just the briefest glimpse, but they were there – and their undead appearance is actually the band’s second in the blockbuster fantasy show, as they showed up as part of the Free Folk, or wildlings, in season five’s Hardhome episode. Hang on… so they’re the same characters, potentially? Whoa.
Check out the picture below – and hope that these horrors don’t march too quickly south, because from what we saw in the season’s final episode, Westeros isn’t quite ready for them.
