The White Walkers were one of the biggest threats to Westeros in Game of Thrones, and only a handful of them died. These characters killed them.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Throughout HBO's Game of Thrones, only a select group of characters were actually able to kill White Walkers. The White Walkers are presented as a supernatural threat, coming from far beyond the wall with the goal of creating an endless winter. They're a threat that no one in Westeros is equipped to handle, as centuries have past and stories of their existence have become legend.
Sam is as shocked as anyone when the White Walker shatters at his hands, as he'd simply used the dragonglass out of instinct after the Walker had destroyed his sword. Sam's curious and scholarly mind figured that the dragonglass may have some significance, but he couldn't have predicted how integral of a weapon it would be throughout the series.
The season 7 battle importantly shows that the White Walkers work like necromancers, and that they control surrounding wights. Killing one Walker means taking out a large chunk of the opposing force in one go. While many predicted that Jon Snow would be the one to kill the Night King, the season 7 White Walker would be the last that he killed, despite being one of Game of Thrones' most powerful characters.
Shortly after, the White Walkers are leading an assault on the caves in which the Three-Eyed Raven, Children of the Forest, Bran's direwolf Summer, and Hodor are killed. In the midst of the battle, Meera hurls a dragonglass-tipped spear at a White Walker, causing the being to shatter in front of her. Meera is surprised by the kill, but it isn't brought up again.
