District 8 male (74th HG)

The District 8 male was a tribute of the 74th Hunger Games.

Training
In the film, the District 8 male was seen climbing the jungle gym in the Training Center until he fell and hurt his leg.

Bloodbath
The District 8 male died in the bloodbath. (Note: Samuel Tan confirmed via twitter that Marvel killed him). He is standing next to the District 4 female and the District 6 female on the podiums. In the film, the District 8 male is first seen being grabbed by the left arm by Marvel. He falls onto his rump and gets hit in the throat by Marvel's machete, making him fall onto his back. Marvel then stabs him continuously with his machete. Later, Marvel is walking towards him as he reaches his arm out. Near the end of the bloodbath, he is seen confronting Thresh with a spear. He swung it at him, but Thresh hit him in the neck with his curved sword and backpack. He collapsed onto the ground. His lifeless body is the first to be seen with a cut over his throat and neck snapped to the left. He placed 11-24 (12-24 in the film).

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. His mutt died.

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