white walker

Ice zombie creature

White walker is a creature from the *Game of Thrones* universe—an undead ice being from beyond the Wall that commands armies of reanimated corpses.

The term has escaped its fictional origins to describe anyone who looks pale, moves stiffly, or seems emotionally cold: I haven't slept in three days—I'm basically a white walker at this point.
