Warning: Spoilers if you are not up to date with the most recent "Game of Thrones" episodes.

"Game of Thrones" is practically synonymous with violence.

The HBO series is known for its no-holds-barred approach when it comes to its epic fights and battle scenes.

It's certainly not unusual at this point in the series to see someone's throat slit or head chopped off. And, now that dragons are being utilized as major weapons, armies being charred to bits is becoming a part of the norm.

But not all battles are created equally on "Game of Thrones." The battles have ranged from small and speedy to gargantuan and epic — though none are able to escape a large death toll.

Here are all of the battles on "Game of Thrones" ranked from least to most gruesome:

16. The Battle of the Green Fork

Tyrion gets knocked unconscious within the first few seconds of this battle, and when he comes to, it's all over.

The audience can only imagine what the battle entailed — but the aftermath did look pretty grizzly.

15. The Battle of Oxcross

Robb Stark leads House Stark to victory in this triumphant battle against House Lannister.

Just like the Battle of the Green Fork, this battle happens offscreen, so the audience can only guess how brutal the battle was based on the aftermath.

14. Battle of Yunkai

The Battle of Yunkai marks Daenerys' second battle in Slaver's Bay. Daenerys sends Daario Naharis, Ser Jorah Mormont, and Grey Worm into the city of Yunkai to kill the guards, leading the Unsullied army in to siege the city.

We see the three soldiers slaughter the guards, and the army flood into the city, but not much else.

Ser Jorah returns to Daenerys with the news of their victory, bringing Daenerys one step closer to freeing all of Slaver's Bay.
