When it was initially mentioned by the littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face the beast was described as being a snake-thing that turned into creeper things. Jack later describes an unseen presence which he sometimes feels is hunting him when he is alone in the jungle. During a meeting many wild possibilities are raised, such as suggesting that the beast might be a giant squid or even a ghost. Simon is of the opinion that the beast is simply themselves while Ralph has always insisted that there is no beast at all. When Samneric claim to have been chased by the beast their description includes wings and sharp claws. Towards the end of the book, after Jack and his tribe have left offerings for the beast, Jack raises the possibility that the beast might be able to disguise itself and also offers the opinion that they couldn't kill it. So in short the boys variously thought that the beast was; a snake, a giant squid, a ghost, some sort of flying creature and later a god like thing that could alter its appearance Alternatively the possibilities were also raised that it might simply be a product of either nightmares or an over active imagination, it might also be a projection of the evil within themselves or simply nothing at all because there was no such thing as a beast.
The littlun with the birthmark disappeared after the fire.
no only ralf, jack, and rodger see what they prusume is the beast. the littuns and piggy stayed at camp, Simon went to tell piggy that the others would not be back before dark and all the other boys waited for ralf, jack and roger
The first actual 'evidence' that the boys have other than what they claim to have seen is Simon's dead body and when Jack, the majority of the boys leader at the time said that Simon was the beast.
The beast has several names already in the book Lord of the Flies. It is initially referred to as a snake-thing or beastie. Later during his internalised conversation the beast is named as the Lord of the Flies. Finally the real nature of the beast is revealed as the darkness in the hearts of men.
i guess its beast since Ralph and fatty wanted to get the idea of the presence of the beast out of the little boys' heads.
In Lord of the Flies, the boys are scared of the beast. However it is clear that they themselves are the beast. They begin to lose their civilization and become savages. For example when they are dancing and re-enacting the kill of the sow, they lose control and hurt Maurice.

In Ch 5 of Lord of the Flies, Ralph says there are no monsters on the Island. Piggy agrees with him. Simon says the beast is within them.
They turn into flies and eat themselves. They think they taste yummy.
In "Lord of the Flies," Maurice believes the beast is a physical entity that resides on the island and causes fear and chaos among the boys. He represents the belief that the beast is something tangible and menacing, reflecting the boys' inner fears and insecurities.
Simon was mistaken for the beast in "Lord of the Flies". He was killed by the other boys during a frenzied tribal dance on the beach.

In "Lord of the Flies," it is Simon who is tending the fire when the boys' fear of the beast emerges. As the boys mistake a dead paratrooper for the beast and flee, Simon remains at the scene and discovers the truth about the figure on the mountain.
The boys find a lot of things, but you might be referring to the dead man that blows onto the island attached to a parachute. Some of the boys find him, but think that he is a "beast."
At the end of the novel "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, it is not explicitly solved or addressed who or what the "beast" actually is. The boys on the island come to acknowledge that the beast is a manifestation of their own inner evil and savagery.
In Lord of the Flies there is technically no physcial beast. "The Beast" is a symbol for something greater i.e our inner savergery. Golding uses the beast as only a symbol which the boys seem to reconize even more with their desent into savergery
Simon!
they blame it on the beast. The beast is used as a scapegoat for all fear
