Oberyn Martell's, the show's so-called "Red Viper", death was one of the most gruesome deaths in the series. While facing the Mountain at Oberyn's trial by combat to avenge his sister, Elia, the charismatic Prince of Dorne gained some initial upper hand advantage but allowed his hubris to lead him astray to his fatal mistake: he was overpowered, with the Mountain crushing his skull with the latter's bare hands in a horrific episode. Oberyn's death was not only a blow to his lover, Ellaria Sand but also crushed the hopes of Tyrion Lannister, whose fate was dependent on Oberyn's victory.
