"The Walking Dead" Season 7's premiere promises more action, plot developments, and possibly new heroes that will help Rick and his gang defeat Negan: Ezekiel and his pet Tiger Shiva.

Ezekiel's pet to life using CGI and animatronics, according to reports from The Spoiling Dead fans.

Although there has been no announcement from the creative team about Ezekiel's appearance on the show, season 6 of "The Walking Dead" has already teased fans about possible appearance of the Kingdom community, when two armored men offered help to Morgan and Carol, reported iDigital Times.

For comic book fans, Ezekiel is known as an iconic character in "The Walking Dead" comics because of his unique abilities to tame a tiger named Shiva during the zombie apocalypse.

Meanwhile, Ezekiel is also an important warrior for Rick, as he needs people to help him take down Negan. Ezekiel's unique abilities, along with Shiva's faithfulness can be a real help for Rick, who is planning to challenge Negan's reign. Shiva has also been known to be immune to the zombie virus.

However, Ezekiel's role in this season and his involvement in the war is still unclear. It might happen that they are seen fighting off walkers, or it also might be that their presence in the war will actually make people less frightful towards Negan.

Find out if Ezekiel and Shiva will appear in "The Walking Dead" Season 7 as it is scheduled to premiere in October.
