Simon’s thought is ignored only moments after he says this, but this comment plants a seed in the back of every mind of who or what the beast takes shape of. His observation happens after Jack and his group of hunters kill their first pig and let the fire burn out on top of the mountain, simple crimes that start the decline of civility. Simon’s statement is foreshadowing that the boys are the beast they are making up and scaring themselves with. No one believes Simon, which leads to them becoming animals and savages without a second thought.

“The beast was on its knees in the center, its arms folded over its face. It was crying out  against the abominable about a body on a hill… at once the crowd surged after it, poured down the rock, leapt onto the beast, scream, struck, bit, tore. There were no words and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws”(Golding 152,153).

This act of terror strips the boys of the little humanity they had left in them, and it truly turns them into barbarians. Golfing describes the boys having “teeth” and “claws”, more animal and beast-like traits than human ones. The boys have become the beast they have described and feared, confirming the  loss of pureness and innocence with this violent act.

In a chaotic mess, Ralph runs for his life from a pack of children who have lost their humanity and believe that murdering the person they elected to rule them is the only solution. The boys, who carry spears they've carves and painted their bodies in hideous patterns over their bodies, finally became the violent and unexplained beast they've feared since their first assembly.

The boys develop slowly into the unknown beast they fear on the island and start to fear themselves. The beast, first introduced in the assembly, greatly scares the boys into the point where they believed a dead corpse is the beast's physical form. However, when the boys murder Simon and lead a manhunt against their leader, they officially become beasts themselves.
