From the article about the mythic beasts in Game of Thrones,
“Sadly, I think the answer here has to be a resounding no. Even if we give White Walkers their ability to rise the dead and their immunity to everything but dragonglass, we can’t get around the fact that biochemistry as we know it doesn’t work when you’re frozen.”
Why would anyone actually want those things to be possible?
Yeah the use of “Sadly” is a little disquieting. Maybe the writer of the article is some kind of necromancer?
Brian George,
I’ve come across those in a couple of the Elder Scrolls games. 😉
