Muttations

Muttations are scary animal-like creatures that are created by The Capital in The Hunger Games. Wolf Muttations were created in the first book to kill off the final competitors - Katniss, Thresh, Cato, and Peeta. Tracker - jackers are mechanically created bees to be deadly enough to kill with one sting. Glimmer and District 4 Female were both stung by them. There was also orange monkey muttations in Catching Fire that almost killed Peeta. Not all muttations, however, are used for killing. Jabberjays, for example, could memorize and repeat whole human conversations.
