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/rvKyX1b1kV

Bear grills

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

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

— SophietheB on August 21, 2017

There's snow way they can top that

That zombie polar bear fight was like watching The Revenant on LSD. #GameOfThrones

Haven't we seen that bear before?

Good to see the polar bear from Lost still getting jobs #GameOfThrones

— jordan_newsom on August 21, 2017

Zombie polar bear! It's like The Walking Dead and Lost had a baby and named it #GameofThrones

— Chewie_Moore on August 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 scene

— TheAddictedDuck on August 21, 2017

That zombie bear is the worst CGI this show had ever had by far #GameOfThrones

— thegarbagebin on August 21, 2017

I think someone needed to spend a couple more bucks on this polar bear CGI... #GameOfThrones

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.
