Best Answer

The beastie or beast is not a real person or creature. Although at varius times the boys think that it might be a snake-thing, a giant squid, a ghost or a winged creature with sharp teeth and claws it is none of the these things. The beast is simply the boys themselves, it is the capacity to do evil which lies inside us all.

Beastie is the evil that resides in all of the boys, or as the author would say, "in all mankind". The pig's head on a stick is the physical manifestation of this evil.
