EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator) , mission is to find evidence of life such as vegetation for purposes of habitability .
The littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face is the first to mention a 'snake-thing' or 'beastie.' The first person to use the word 'beast' is Ralph, when he insists during the same meeting, "But there is no beast!"
Why don't you read the book and find out? They go to Castle Rock which is the only place that Jack admits that he has never been to during his hunting expeditions. When no beast is found they then decide to look on the mountain top, which is where Samneric reported they had seen it.
He isn't, Piggy also doubts its existence, as he says "They don't make sense, radios and TV and things wouldn't work if there were beasties and ghosts." At the meeting were the issue of a "beastie" was first raised Ralph stated a number of times, "There is no beast."
Ralph states quite clearly, on several occasions, that "there is no beast." Jack, while appearing to agree with Ralph, then adds, "but if there were a beast my hunters would hunt it down and kill it." Later Jack leaves offerings from his kill to appease the beast.
