District 8 male (74th HG)

The District 8 male was a tribute of the 74th Hunger Games. He had 3-1 odds and a high training score. He died in the Cornucopia, after he killed the District 5 male by slamming him into crates and strangling him. He then tried to kill Thresh with his spear, but instead had his throat slashed by Thresh's sword.

Training
In the film, the District 8 male is seen climbing the jungle gym in the Training Center until he falls down and hurts his leg. This may have been a strategy he used in order to make him look weak so he wouldn't be the first target.

Death
The District 8 male died in the bloodbath. In the film, he is seen strangling the District 10 male and then slamming the District 5 male's face on a crate three times to kill him. Later, the District 8 male is seen confronting Thresh with a spear as Thresh runs out of the Cornucopia. Thresh then knocks his spear away and hits the District 8 male in the throat with his sword. His corpse is the first seen at the end of the bloodbath with a slash mark over his throat. He placed 15th.

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 The Hunger Games, the District 8 tribute is portrayed by Samuel Tan.
