<P> The mockingjay is a source of embarrassment to the Capitol because of its accidental creation, and because of this, has become a symbol of anti-Capitol resistance and eventually the whole rebellion itself . At the beginning of The Hunger Games, Katniss wears a mockingjay pin given to her by Madge Undersee . In Catching Fire, Plutarch Heavanesbee shows Katniss that his pocket watch displays a holographic mockingjay . In Mockingjay, Katniss is given the identity of "the Mockingjay", as an inspirational character to the rebels, wearing a mockingjay - inspired costume . </P> <P> Tracker jackers are wasps engineered to be extremely aggressive, tracking their victims and stinging with extremely painful, hallucinogenic, and potentially fatal venom, which can cause extreme illusions, and even death . Katniss drops a tracker jacker nest on several tributes during her first Hunger Games, killing two of them . Katniss and several other tributes are stung and hallucinate . The Capitol uses the venom in a process of torture and brainwashing known as "hijacking". The venom targets the part of the brain that controls fear and confusion, and is used to distort the victim's memories . The technique is used on Peeta in Mockingjay, in an attempt to turn him into an assassin to kill Katniss . </P> <P> The groosling is an edible wild bird the size of a wild turkey . Katniss hunts it in the first book of the series . Rue states that it is commonly found in District 11 . They are spotted and hunted frequently in the 74th Hunger Games . </P> <P> Wolf "muttations" or "mutts" appeared at the end of the 74th Hunger Games to draw Katniss, Peeta, and Cato into a final fight . The wolf - like creatures mimicked the deceased tributes, particularly in fur and eye color, but also with collars which match the tributes' district numbers . One wolf Katniss identifies as Rue, and others as Glimmer, Foxface, the boy from District 9, and Thresh . They were created by the Gamemakers to draw the three remaining tributes together for the finale . Peeta later creates a painting of the wolf mutt supposed to be Glimmer . It took him three days to find the right shade for sunlight on white fur . He "kept thinking it was just yellow, but it was so much more than that ." When he is shot in the hand with an arrow, Cato falls off the Cornucopia; and in the book, Cato's fight for survival against the mutts goes on for several hours before Katniss shoots him in the skull with an arrow out of pity . He would not have survived for so long without his suit of body armor and a hidden sword or knife . In the film adaptation, the mutts resemble Rottweiler dogs and Cato dies more quickly . </P>
