Your Complete Guide to the Mythical Creatures of Game of Thrones

Although not a mythical creature, strictly speaking, direwolves hold a place of high regard among Northern Westerosi, and are the sigil of House Stark. Said to be highly intelligent, adult direwolves are the size of small horses, and can be very loyal if raised by humans, as is the case of the direwolves adopted by the Stark children.

While they are majestic creatures, direwolves are also dangerous and can easily rip a man to shreds. Direwolves are an endangered species in Westeros, and are not often seen south of the Wall.
