Game of Thrones season 7, episode 6 had a lot going on. But there was one grizzly moment in particular that had everyone running for the e-hills. If you’ve seen it then you’ll know what I’m talking about. If not, then continue on at your own risk – there’s an flurry of spoilers to come…

Three words: Zombie. Polar. Bear. If that’s not enough, then the guys and girls of Twitter have elaborated on the shock wintry attack in their own inimitable way. Bear with me…

Who saw that coming...?

"Ugh I can practically predict these scenes now, this show is so predictab-"ZOMBIE BEAR SNEAK ATTACK #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/rvKyX1b1kVAugust 21, 2017

Bear grills

walked in on my sister watching game of thrones and there was a giant zombie polar bear on fire attacking people. #wtf #isthislostonsteroidsAugust 21, 2017

Writers room: How about an undead, oversized, zombie polar bear... ...that's on fire. Producers: 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #GameofThronesAugust 21, 2017

There's snow way they can top that

That zombie polar bear fight was like watching The Revenant on LSD. #GameOfThronesAugust 21, 2017

Gendry is officially Superman now. This is canon.

Haven't we seen that bear before?

Good to see the polar bear from Lost still getting jobs #GameOfThronesAugust 21, 2017

Zombie polar bear! It's like The Walking Dead and Lost had a baby and named it #GameofThronesAugust 21, 2017

Not everyone was a fan, though. A paw CGI effort, perhaps?

Apparently they didn't allocate much of the budget for that CGI Bear sceneAugust 21, 2017

That zombie bear is the worst CGI this show had ever had by far #GameOfThronesAugust 21, 2017

I think someone needed to spend a couple more bucks on this polar bear CGI... #GameOfThronesAugust 21, 2017

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
