White Walker

A White Walker is a fictional, otherworldly humanoid creature from the HBO television series ''Game of Thrones'', and the George R. R. Martin novel series ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' on which it is based. Primarily referred to as the Others in the novels, White Walkers are a supernatural threat to mankind who dwell outside fictional Westeros, north of The Wall. ''Dose'' noted that "in particular, () are eager to learn more about the White Walkers" in Martin's forthcoming novels, and ''The Verge'' named them among "the most visually iconic creatures on the show." White Walkers are also featured in the show's merchandising.
==Description==
Martin introduces the Others in the prologue of ''A Game of Thrones'' (1996), describing them as "Tall ... and gaunt and hard as old bones, with flesh pale as milk" with eyes "deeper and bluer than any human eyes, a blue that burned like ice." Accompanied by intense cold, they wear armor that "seemed to change color as it moved", and wield thin crystal swords capable of shattering steel. The Others move silently, and they speak their own language; Martin writes that their voices are "like the cracking of ice on a winter lake". In ''A Storm of Swords'' (2000) it becomes clear that they are vulnerable to weapons made of dragonglass (obsidian), as Samwell Tarly kills one this way:
In ''A Dance with Dragons'' (2011), Sam uncovers ancient record fragments which suggest that the Others are also vulnerable to something called "dragonsteel", and he and Jon Snow suppose that this is another word for Valyrian steel.
Creatures killed by the Others soon reanimate as wights: undead with similarly glowing blue eyes.〔 Dragonglass has no effect on them. Wights may be physically injured, but even dismembered parts remain animated, so they must be destroyed by fire.〔 The humans who live in the north beyond The Wall—called "wildlings" by the inhabitants of Westeros—burn their dead so that they do not become wights.
