District 8 male (74th HG)

The District 8 male was the male tribute from District 8, who participated in the 74th Hunger Games.

Tribute Parade
In the film, the boy from District 8 was first seen in the Tribute Parade with his district partner, riding in the chariots, wearing blue and pink costumes with star patterns and hats with present bows representing textile clothing.

Training
In the film, he stood behind Peeta as Atala is explaining the training center rules. During training, he was shown struggling to climb the jungle gym, until he fell and hurt his leg. On the scoreboards, his odds of winning were shown to be 3-1, so his training score was most likely a 9-10.

Interviews
In the film, he and his district partner are shown to be absent along with the tributes from District 9.

Cornucopia bloodbath
The District 8 male was killed in the initial Corncopia bloodbath, forced to wear a leg cast from his injury during training. Like most of the other tributes, he fought for supplies. At the start of the bloodbath, he struggled with Marvel, who managed to disarm him and knock him to the ground, eventually stabbing him repeatedly with a knife, effectively killing him. He was the 10th tribute to die, and his face was seen by Katniss on the first night of the games. His district partner survived the bloodbath, and managed to escape into the forest.

Muttation
After his death, the male tribute from District 8, like all the other fallen tributes, had his DNA mixed with a wolf to form a muttation which had similar characteristics to the fallen tribute. It is unknown if his mutt survived the fight.

Film portrayal
In the film adaption of The Hunger Games, the District 8 male was portrayed by Samuel Tan.
