When Ralph, Roger and Jack climb the mountain they see the dead body of the pilot. The parachute lines have become tangled in the rocks making the body move when the wind blows. This creates the illusion that the movements are being made by something which is alive. In the darkness the boys assume that the indirect shape which they see moving must be "the beast." Sam and Eric also came to the same conclusion when they earlier saw the dead pilot's body.
Samneric tell the others boys that they have seen the beast on the mountain top. Their description includes the following words and phrases..."It was furry... Wings... There were eyes... Teeth.... Claws... The beast followed us... I saw it slinking behind the trees..."
- Jack goes ahead and sees the "beast" (the parachute man) bowing and lifting in the wind. He can't tell what it is and runs back to the other two.
- Then, bravely, the trio goes together to investigate.
- Ralph is so afraid he thinks he might pass out.
- They finally get a look at what they think is a giant ape sitting there, asleep, with his head between his knees.
- As the wind roars through the trees, the creature lifts his head, "holding toward them the ruin of a face."
WHat the boys actually see is the dead parachuter that has gotten entangled on the island. However, since they have convinced themselves so thoroughly that there is a bloodthirsty Beast on the island, he sees a bloodthirsty beast.'
