Humutts
The Humutts experiment was initiated in an attempt to create a better breed of entertainment. These humanoid mutations would replace normal tributes in the Hunger Games. Children were injected with modified animal DNA after conception to make them stronger than the average tribute. There was a high level of optimism in this project's success.
However, at first all attempts failed. None of the Humutts survived to birth. Eventually, just as the project was to be terminated, a humutt survived. As more were born, a new problem arose. It proved impossible to keep both mother and child alive. One or the other would die in childbirth. For this reason, the project was shut down.
The surviving Humutts were moved into a hidden training facility. Their new purpose was to be soldiers for the Capitol in case of attack. An attempt was made to introduce Humutts to the other citizens of Panem. The attempt, however, proved unsuccessful, due to some unruly Humutts and fear from the citizens.
Due to these events, the Humutts program was completely terminated. The Capitol reported that the Humutts had been wiped out by disease shortly afterwards. The original training center was destroyed. Any trace of the Humutts was destroyed and eventually faded from memory. The Humutts no longer existed.
Yeah right…
