Who Will Kill the Mountain on Game of Thrones?
Game of Thrones: 5 Fighters Who Could Put an End to the Mountain
4
Thanks to the season eight focus placed on the complicated history between Arya and the Hound, we think it's safe to argue that the series may be setting up a tag team fight in which the Hound sacrifices himself to protect Arya from the Mountain before Arya strikes the final deathblow to the elder Clegane. Remember, the Mountain earns the top spot on Arya's kill list in the second season for his torture of the people at Harrenhal where she's a captive, so she's motivated for this fight. Plus, with Cersei also on Arya's, she'll be doubly driven to dispatch the one man who stands between her and the fulfillment of her destiny. But more importantly for the viewer, the young Stark's defeat of the Night King and her years as a Faceless Man prove she can outwit imposing figures of any magnitude.
