Please don't kill a dragon, though.

Winter is here, the Game of Thrones season 7 finale is imminent, and Facebook wants you to transform yourself into the series' most terrifying character: the Night King.

Seems about right.

To use the Facebook app's new Night King filter, all you'll need to do is access the camera. You can do this either by swiping right from the News Feed or using the little camera icon in the upper left corner.

Once you've done that, the new filter should be available (although some have needed to restart their phones or update their apps before it works), and you'll finally become the ruthless, blue-eyed dragon murderer you've always wanted to be.

Here's Kristofer Hivju, who plays Tormund on the show, trying out the filter for Game of Thrones' official Facebook page. (On a related note, Tormund, my dude ... be careful out there.)

And here's GoT composer Djawadi Ramin trying it on for size. That #FridayFeeling, indeed!

Don't leave the filter on for too long, though, lest you be tempted to damn Westeros to an icy demise. We can't have you messing around like that so close to the season finale.
