Spoilers for The Walking Dead 8x04, "Some Guy."

The good guys suffered another loss tonight with the death of Shiva, King Ezekiel's beloved pet tiger. Ezekiel previously opened up about his deep bond with the former zoo animal, calling her "the last thing left in this world that [he] loved." Shiva repaid her debt to Ezekiel when she made her last stand protecting the king, Carol and Jerry from a pack of possibly radioactive-contaminated walkers.

Cry Of The Tiger

Shiva may have been a CGI tiger, but many found her death as emotionally effective as the loss of Lori, Hershel, Beth and even Glenn. It's only a shame there are no dumpsters in the middle of the woods.

The Tiger Sleeps Tonight

Some fans even uploaded their live and passionate reactions to Shiva's death, while others took the opportunity to bring attention to a great cause — helping real life tigers — and others still paid tribute to the regal feline.

Rest easy, Shiva. The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9/8c on AMC.
