The walk back to the cliff was pretty much the same. However one you get closer to the cliff you see one of the shiny creatures kneeling at the top of the waterfall. It's holding some sort of object in the water. You assume it's a waterskin. It doesn't seem to have noticed you, so you creep a little closer so you can see. Peaking around a tree, you start to study it. It seems that the shiny coat is just clothes that it wears and under it, it's a male... A furless male, but it does have some on its head. Its ears are also in the wrong place and shaped funny, and it doesn't have a tail! However from the shape of the muscular body it is definitely a male.
