Just as John is about to die, a mysterious beast kills the soldier: "The soldier starts to swing, but the beast strikes first, its jaws clamping down like a bear trap...the soldier's body cut cleanly in half" (Lore 402). I think this beast is Bernie Kosar's true form because it doesn't make sense that the beast would kill its own kind, saving John.
