"Game of Thrones" has never been shy about killing major characters, but Sunday's penultimate episode of HBO's hit series saw death and destruction on a massive scale. 

Daenerys Targaryen's highly anticipated sack of King's Landing quickly turned horrific when she decided to ignore the city's surrender and burn it to the ground. Many main characters died as a result, and still others died for entirely different reasons.

Lord Varys was executed by Daenerys Targaryen's dragon, Drogon.

Varys, also known as the Spider, served many kings and queens as the Master of Whisperers. Over the course of season eight, he became convinced that Daenerys could no longer be trusted and tried to convince Jon Snow to take her place, as the rightful King of Westeros. 

When Tyrion told Daenerys of Varys' changing loyalties, she ordered her dragon to burn him alive, as she once promised to do if he ever betrayed her.

Harry Strickland was skewered by Grey Worm.

Harry Strickland was known as the formidable captain of the Golden Company, a group of mercenaries from Essos.

As it turns out, he and his men were gravely outmatched by Daenerys and her army. Harry Strickland was narrowly spared by Drogon — but stabbed by Grey Worm shortly after.

Euron Greyjoy was stabbed in the stomach by Jaime Lannister.

Euron Greyjoy, the King of the Iron Islands, had hoped to marry Cersei Lannister and become King of Westeros. 

Instead, he was thrown overboard when Daenerys attacked on his ships and washed up onshore, positioned perfectly to confront Jaime Lannister. He taunted Jaime and nearly killed him, but Jaime managed to stab Euron through the stomach.
