Due to the nature of the story, the season’s body count was high.
But none of these characters will be mourned deeply.
However, no death could hope to be as tragic as that of Hopper the Wolf.

He is one of the wolves that saves Perrin from Ishamael with Elyas.
And Hopper only grows more significant from there.
With Perrin’s rare ability to communicate with wolves through visions, Perrin and Hopper share a close relationship.

In fact, Hopper sticks by Perrin’s side even after the wolfbrother separates from the pack.
Hopper stays with Perrin all the way to Falme, even though they expect danger with an unwavering dedication.
However, Perrin goes into the conflict, and as the battle goes on, he is threatened.

Despite his disregard for Perrin’s instructions, the wolf is a welcome sight.
As Hopper dies, Perrin watches a final projection of him jumping, float off, and fade.
Yet Hopper’s death is a deviation.

There, heroes await rebirth, including some non-human heroes.
In the dream realm, Hopper is able to soar like the eagles he envied in life.
As Hopper dies, Perrin sees one last image of him jumping to new heights as it fades.
This moment seems to hint that the wolf is moving to the afterlife and may reappear in later seasons.
