It wouldn't have been hostile if you didn't attack it first, but it wouldn't have understood your speech or even payed attention to you. It would have started climbing up the cliff eventually (If not attacked), causing the entrance to the cave to collapse and trap anyone who was still in there inside. And it wasn't a spirit, it was a golem.

Equally as surprising... I figured it wasn't dangerous since it didn't attack blitz (instead it waved) and that hen it did move it looked like it was about to hug blitz. (I was wrong on that)...
