the thing that crawls out of the forest is Simon.
The Ring.
at the end of chapter 8 Simon is killed and tortured by everyone because they though that he was the beast. ^false.he loses consciousness
Simon was beaten to death when he was mistaken for the 'beast.' Piggy was killed when he was knocked from the causeway by a boulder and the littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face disappeared after the first fire got out of control, presumably killed by the fire or by smoke. Ralph also stabbed at least two of Jack's hunters with his spear so they may also have been killed or badly injured.
The parachutist on the mountaintop remains there for most of the book. When Simon climbs the mountain, he untangles the rope of the parachute, and when Simon is killed, the wind blows the parachutist out to sea.
