Magical Creatures
I carry no sword,
Yet many fear my strike.
I have no feet,
Yet I leave a winding trail.
A snake
I am tall when I am young and short when I am old.
A candle
Break me before you use me.
An egg
I can fill a room
Yet take no space.
Light
What belongs to you but is used mostly by others?
Your name
I wear stripes without being a prisoner.
I carry gold without owning treasure.
My work sweetens the lives of others.
A bee
I open every door,
Yet have no hands.
Without me,
Every journey ends before it begins.
A key
What starts with T, ends with T, and has T in it?
A teapot
I follow you by day,
Leave you at night.
Your shadow
I can be cracked,
I can be made,
I can be told,
I can be played.
What am I?
A joke
I wear my armor every day,
Yet never march to war.
When danger comes I hide away,
Then wander as before.
A turtle
What word contains 26 letters but only has three syllables?
Alphabet
What kind of room has no walls, door or windows?
A mushroom
The more I hunt,
The less you see.
I stalk every traveler,
Yet never move.
Darkness
I have no mouth,
Yet I can speak.
I have no ears,
Yet I can answer.
I have no body,
Yet I can travel.
An echo
What two keys cannot open any door?
A monkey and a donkey
I have no wings, yet I can fly.
I have no lungs, yet I can die.
Feed me well and I grow bright.
Give me drink and end my light.
Fire
You throw away the outside, then cook the inside, then eat the outside and throw away the inside. What am I?
Corn on the cob
The more you take,
The more you leave behind.
Footsteps
Poor people have it. Rich people need it. If you eat it you die. What is it?
Nothing
I build my home with no hammer,
Fell trees with no axe,
And shape rivers without magic
Beaver
I have rivers with no water,
Mountains with no stone,
Forests with no trees,
Cities with no people.
A map
I have a belly but no hunger,
I swallow many things,
Yet I am never full.
I transform what enters me,
But I never change myself.
A cauldron
I whisper without lips,
I dance without feet.
Travelers hear me,
Yet never see my face.
The wind
I am lighter than a feather, yet the strongest wizard cannot hold me for long.
