Robb Starks direktwolf, Gray Wind, följer Robb med sin kampanj mot Lannisters och kämpar ofta bredvid honom i Five Kings 'krig. Detta innebär att direwolves är användbara i strid.
Har Jon Snow någonsin tagit sin direktvåg, Ghost, till strid?
Jon Snow kämpade i flera strider och skirmishes där Ghosts närvaro skulle ha varit användbar.

Ja. I sin kamp med Qhorin Halfhand var hjälpen av Ghost en avgörande faktor.
And then Qhorin's sword was coming at him and somehow Longclaw leapt upward to block. The force of impact almost knocked the bastard blade from Jon's hand, and sent him staggering backward. You must not balk, whatever is asked of you. He shifted to a two-hand grip, quick enough to deliver a stroke of his own, but the big ranger brushed it aside with contemptuous ease. Back and forth they went, black cloaks swirling, the youth's quickness against the savage strength of Qhorin's left-hand cuts. The Halfhand's longsword seemed to be everywhere at once, raining down from one side and then the other, driving him where he would, keeping him off balance. Already he could feel his arms growing numb.
Even when Ghost's teeth closed savagely around the ranger's calf, somehow Qhorin kept his feet. But in that instant, as he twisted, the opening was there. Jon planted and pivoted. The ranger was leaning away, and for an instant it seemed that Jon's slash had not touched him. Then a string of red tears appeared across the big man's throat, bright as a ruby necklace, and the blood gushed out of him, and Qhorin Halfhand fell.

När det gäller någon stor förebyggd kamp, inte vad jag vet.
I striden före Qhorins duell, vid frostfangarnas bakhåll, var Ghost kvar eftersom den vita pälsen skulle stå ut för mycket i mörkret.
Qhorin Halfhand looked at him. Jon could hear the wind keening as it shivered through the high pass above them. One of the garrons whickered and pawed at the thin stony soil of the hollow where they had taken shelter. "The wolf will remain with us," Qhorin said. "White fur is seen too easily by moonlight." He turned to Stonesnake. "When it's done, throw down a burning brand. We'll come when we see it fall."
A Clash of Kings - Jon VI
När de fångades av Rattleskirt, blev Ghost snabbt distraherad av örnen och lämnade slaget:
But when they emerged back into the light long hours later, the eagle was waiting for them, perched on a dead tree a hundred feet up the slope. Ghost went bounding up the rocks after it, but the bird flapped its wings and took to the air.

Efteråt kommer klättringen av väggen, och efterföljande slagsmål vid tornet i sjön och belägringen av Slott Svart. Här är Ghost inte närvarande, för han är fortfarande på andra sidan väggen.
