Morphlings


 * This article is about the Hunger Games tributes. For the addictive drug, see Morphling (drug).

The Morphlings were two tributes from District 6 who won previous, unknown Hunger Games, and were reaped to participate in the 75th Hunger Games. As victors, they were given the responsibility of mentoring other tributes from District 6. It is presumed that they mentored the tributes from their district during the 74th Hunger Games.

Third Quarter Quell
These victors were quite old and have turned to a narcotic pain killer called Morphling. The Morphling had made their skin sag a bit and turn a vulgar, yellow color. The two of them were quite fascinated in painting as they spent most of their time training in the camouflage station painting each other, which is what they most likely used to present themselves to the Gamemakers. This left Peeta with very little supplies left over, and a colossal mess. Before the Games, Haymitch approached the Morphlings, Mags, Finnick, Johanna, Wiress, Beetee, Blight, Chaff, Seeder, Cecelia, and Woof to make an alliance to keep both Katniss and Peeta alive, as he knew he could trust them and that they could help Katniss and Peeta in the arena.

Death
At the start of the Games, the Morphlings reached the Cornucopia shortly after Finnick, Mags, Katniss and Peeta. During the bloodbath, the male died, but the female managed to escape with her life.

Later when Peeta, Katniss and Finnick were attacked by monkey muttations, Peeta was about to be killed by a monkey, until the female Morphling jumped in front of Peeta to protect him and received a gash in her chest. After Peeta finished off the monkeys, he took her body to the beach where he comforted her by telling her the colors of his paint at home and what he is trying to create. The female took some of her blood and drew what's assumed to be a flower on his cheek. He commented it as lovely and she smiled. After she bled to death, Peeta took her corpse to the water to let it drift off until a hovercraft came to take it away. Katniss didn't know if her shaking before she died was caused by the blow from the attack, or from withdrawal of the drug.

Trivia

 * The Female Morphling's death was similar to Rue's and Maysilee's, as all were comforted. Also, after their deaths, a District 12 victor all gave them peaceful last moments to defy the Capitol.
