The pigs head (only after it begins to talk to Simon in a hallucination), the parachuter, and Simon (when the boys kill him in a frenzy) are seen as forms of the beast. Note, the beast does NOT exist, does not have a physical form, and is born from fear.Source(s): Lord of the Flies

fox · Answer

Though the beast only exists in the imagination of the boys due to fear of the unknown on the island, fueled on by Jacks aggressive bravado when speaking of it, there are a few instances which the boys erroneously perceive to be manifestations of the beast itself.The littleuns first think they see snakes which were actually vines hanging from trees in the dark. Their vague description leads to other assumptions of what might be living on the island.The parachutist; too afraid to investigate closely what the presence in the dark really is, they assume a sinister creature is lurking instead.The pigs head; when Simon hallucinates and begins to believe it is alive and speaking to him. However through the pigs taunts running through his head he comes to understand that the beast comes from within. Wishing to warn the others he rushes out to them which takes them by surprise, in a daze they mistake him for the beast and kill him.
