Shagga is a recurring character in Game of Thrones. He is played by guest star Mark Lewis Jones and débuts in the eighth episode of the first season.
Shagga, son of Dolf, is the leader of the Stone Crows, one of the hill tribes who live in the foothills of the Mountains of the Moon on the western border of the Vale of Arryn. He is a notable warrior who holds fealty to no lord.
Season 1
Shagga leads the party of tribesmen which finds Tyrion Lannister and Bronn traveling out of the Vale into the Riverlands. Tyrion does some fast talking and hard bargaining, offering an alliance between the hill tribes and House Lannister on the basis they share mutual enemies, the Arryns and Starks. Tyrion promises gold and weapons to Shagga. Shagga agrees to the alliance and escorts Tyrion to the Lannister army led by his father, Lord Tywin Lannister. They are joined by the leaders of two other clans along the way, Timett of the Burned Men and Chella of the Black Ears. There are also clansmen from the Moon Brothers and Painted Dogs in their group. Tywin accepts the alliance and Shagga's insistence that they fight alongside Tyrion on the battlefield.[1]
Shagga and his men fight well at the Battle of the Green Fork and win a convincing victory over their foes. Tyrion fails to join them after he is accidentally knocked unconscious by his own men in the rush to the fight. Shagga and his troops join in the post-battle looting of the fallen bodies.[2]

In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, Shagga, son of Dolf, is a member of the Stone Crows, one of the mountain clans. He is a strong, large man who prefers to wield two weapons in combat. His favored taunt is to threaten to remove someone's manhood and feed it to 'the goats' (even when there are no goats in the vicinity). He is not the most intelligent man, but is extremely dangerous in battle.
