A missing character is returning to 'Game of Thrones' for the final season

Are you sick of feeling ghosted by Ghost, Jon Snow's faithful direwolf who was very much absent all of last season?

Fret not. Ghost is returning for the final season of Game of Thrones. The show's VFX supervisor Joe Bauer has said the albino beast will be "very present" in Season Eight.

"Oh, you’ll see him again. He has a fair amount of screen time in Season Eight," Bauer told Huffington Post. "He’s very present and does some pretty cool things in Season Eight.”

According to Bauer, they did shoot one scene with Ghost in Season Seven, which ended up being cut. The scene featured Jon Snow telling his wolf to take care of Sansa as he was leaving Winterfell.

According to Bauer, the reason why there hasn't been much wolf action on the show the last couple of seasons may have something to do with the fact that the real life wolves standing in for the direwolves on set aren't the easiest to work with.

“The direwolves are tough because you don’t want to get them wrong, so we end up always shooting real wolves and doing a scaling trick with them, but the real wolves only behave in certain ways,” Bauer said.

On the show (but not in the books) only Ghost and Nymeria are still alive from the original pack of direwolves. Bauer made no mention of whether or not we will see Arya's pal Nymeria again in the final season.

A lot has happened since we were first introduced to the direwolves, so it feels appropriately full circle that we'll get to see Ghost, runt of the litter, again.
