Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun

Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun, commonly known as Wun Wun, is a minor character in A Song of Ice and Fire and a supporting character in its television adaptation Game of Thrones. He is a giant who lived in the lands beyond the Wall.
In Game of Thrones, he was portrayed by Ian Whyte.
== Appearance ==
Wun Wun has brown fur, is at least fourteen feet tall, even larger than Mag the Mighty, and possesses the strength of twelve men. His hands are as large as hams while the inside of his mouth has big square teeth.
He wields an oaken maul as his weapon. It is six feet long with a stone head that is the size of a loaf of bread.
== Personality ==
Wun Wun is a typically passive and quiet giant who is a speaker of the Old Tongue, the native/ancient language of the First Men. Despite this, he will lash out if provoked, making him aggressive and prone to fits of violent rage. Unlike the man-eating giants in stories told by Old Nan, Wun Wun is a vegetarian as he enjoys eating different kinds of vegetables such as roots, onions, turnips, and raw neeps. He also likes roasted vegetables.
He is fascinated with Patchface, the mentally insane jester of House Baratheon of Dragonstone.
==Biography==
=== A Dance with Dragons ===
After King Stannis Baratheon leaves Castle Black and marches with his army south of the Wall to liberate the north, Lord Commander Jon Snow is given the Free Folk and has to find the rest of them beyond the Wall. Several ranging parties go everywhere beyond the Wall to find the remaining wildlings, who are constantly being attacked by wights. Regions that were attacked include the Haunted Forest, the Milkwater, the Bridge of Skulls, and Hardhome. 
Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun is discovered by the Night's Watch when Lord Commander Jon Snow leads new recruits to the weirwood grove in the Haunted Forest, along with a family of wildlings. With the advantage of surprise and the diplomatic efforts of the new wildling recruit Leathers, the group succeeded in avoiding a fight and manage to convince the surviving wildlings to return with them to Castle Black. Leathers calls the giant Wun Wun. 
Jon speaks with Wun Wun as often as he can. With the help of Leathers, he even learned more about giants and their stories. Wun Wun had never tasted wine before he came to Castle Black, but he develops a liking for it.
Later, Queen Selyse Florent arrives at Castle Black with her daughter Shireen Baratheon, and their escorts, which includes Tycho Nestoris, an emissary of the Iron Bank of Braavos, Queen's Men Ser Axell Florent & Ser Patrek of King's Mountain, and Dragonstone's fool Patchface. When Wun Wun reveals himself to the group, both Selyse and the women accompanying her were left startled. The giant speaks a few kind words, but messed them up. He kneels in front of Selyse and Princess Shireen, who is fascinated by the giant, though her mother and her Queen's Men are not pleased by him. 
Wun Wun then gets distracted by Patchface, who jumps away and falls over into a snowdrift, causing Wun Wun to burst into loud laughter, frightening the group while Ser Patrek draws his sword but Jon warns him to never do it again in front of a giant, as Wun Wun is under Guest Right. After Val moved to the top floor of Hardin's Tower, because Selyse took the best rooms of Castle Black, Jon has Wun Wun sleep in the entry hall to guard the wildling princess.
Later, after Jon announced his intention of going south to confront Ramsay Bolton, after receiving a taunting letter that is purportedly written by the latter, he suddenly hears Wun Wun roaring and a man screaming. Accompanied by ranger Rory and stablehand Hareth, Jon follows the man's screams to Hardin's Tower. Though Rory believed the screams to be from Wights, Jon instead finds an enraged Wun Wun holding the now-dead corpse of Ser Patrek (the man who was screaming). Jon also discovered that Wun Wun had ripped off Patrek's sword arm. Jon shouts out to the giant to let go of the corpse, but Wun Wun didn't hear him nor did he understand, as Jon had shouted out to him in the Common Tongue instead of the Old Tongue. As he continued roaring, the giant, who has bleeding sword cuts on his chest and arm, ferociously smashes Ser Patrek's head against a wall of Hardin's Tower several times until the dead knight's head is horrifically ruined. During the ensuing chaos, as many people came in running, Jon desperately tries to keep order and to prevent the other Queen's Men from exacting revenge on Wun Wun for killing Ser Patrek. 
Wun Wun, letting out an angry howl, proceeded to violently ripped off Ser Patrek's other arm, which caused it to spray blood. Appalled by this, Jon Snow orders Leathers to calm Wun Wun down, since he can speak the Old Tongue. As he continues to try and restore order, a group of black brothers of the Night's Watch, including Bowen Marsh, suddenly turn on Jon, in which they stabbed him repeatedly while chanting "For the Watch" as they attempt to assassinate him.
== Game of Thrones ==
Wun Wun is present at the ruined wildling settlement known as Hardhome, when Jon Snow evacuates the community due to the threat of the coming White Walkers, and helps fight off the horde of wights in the ensuing Walker attack.
Wun Wun survives the massacre of Hardhome and accompanies Jon Snow and company back to the Wall and settles with the other Free Folk in the Gift.
Following the mutiny against Jon Snow by his own fellow brothers of the Night's Watch, Wun Wun assists Eddison Tollett and Tormund in storming Castle Black and saving Jon's corpse from the mutineers. Jon is later resurrected.
Following Jon Snow's resurrection, Wun Wun agrees to fight the Boltons for him and after the ensuing battle, Wun Wun uses the last of his strength to valiantly open the gates of Winterfell for the Stark and Arryn soldiers led by Jon. Upon being riddled with bolts and arrows by the last of the Bolton army, Wun Wun kneels to rest his wounds. As Jon Snow reaches out to comfort him, Wun Wun is finished off by Ramsay Bolton with an arrow to the eye.
