Woof

Woof was the District 8 male tribute who participated in the 75th Hunger Games, as well as the victor of a previous unmentioned Hunger Games. He was a mentor for District 8 tributes who competed after him even though he is said to be senile due to his old age. He was also the second oldest tribute to participate in the Games, behind Mags.

Biography
After being reaped to participate in the third Quarter Quell alongside many other past victors, including fellow District 8 tribute and victor Cecelia, Woof was brought to the Capitol for his training before the games, as well as the interview and chariot parade. During the interview, Woof and all the other past victors linked hands in solidarity.

Training
During practice, Woof stayed close to Cecelia and early on, the pair invited Katniss to join them at the edible bug station. It seemed to Katniss that Woof was oblivious to what was happening as he kept trying to eat poisonous bugs rather than safer ones, thus she decided he would be a bad choice for an ally.

75th Hunger Games
In the arena, Woof was situated next to Katniss in the ring of plates. It was shown later that night that Woof had died in the bloodbath at the Cornucopia as well as Seeder, Cecelia, the male morphling, and 5 other unnamed victors. It is unknown who killed Woof and how they accomplished it. It is revealed at the end of Catching Fire that Woof was part of the alliance of victors that wanted to keep Katniss alive to ultimately start the rebellion and end the Games forever.

Physical description
Woof was described by Katniss to be an old Tribute, much like Seeder and Mags, who was hard of hearing and had started to lose his ability to focus. He was generally not seen as a threat during the third Quarter Quell, and was killed quite fast. It can also be assumed that he cannot swim, due to the time it took for him to get to the Cornucopia.

Film portrayal
John Casino will portray Woof in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
