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.

Interviews
In the film, he and his district partner are shown to be absent along with the District 3 female, the District 9 male,  the District 9 female and the District 10 female.

Cornucopia bloodbath
The District 8 male was killed in the initial Cornucopia bloodbath, forced to wear a leg cast from his injury during training. Like most of the other tributes, he fought for supplies. He runs halfway until spotting a small knife, he grabs it and tries to attack Marvel, who managed to disarm him, slash his throath and knock him to the ground, eventually stabbing him repeatedly with a knife, effectively killing him. In the film he was the first dead and his face is the 5th seen by Katniss on the first night of the games. In the book, his place is unknown, but his face is the 8th seen by Katniss.

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.
