Riddles!
This topic is about short riddles, because not everyone likes to do the larger logical puzzles. If you do like those, then click here.
If you've guessed the riddle, you can immediately post another one yourself. Let's keep it going.
I will start with this riddle:
What is easy to get into, but hard to get out of?
I bear the name of clansmen proud and free
My saw-edged teeth cut better than a tear
From me you take a binding hard to see
I spin around a hub that isn't there
What am I?
I always leave as fast as I arrive, never staying longer than I am welcome. You can see better with me around yet you're unable to feel or see me. I have not a beginning nor an end, as I have always been. I can fill a room completely without taking up any space. I am formless yet I have many different forms.
What am I?
(p.s. I spent like 2 hours coming up with a brand new riddle so I hope this boggles a few minds, if not, at least I got to share it with everyone)

Because I've seen close to every riddle that's written somewhere online because of searching for them for this topic.. it would be a bit unfair for me to answer right away. So I won't answer unless nobody else answer/nobody gets the right answer.
It's really awesome you came up with this riddle yourself though .
@brenndansouthwind Is it light?
@BurkeDevlin that's correct! Good job. Even though it's all around us, just like breathable air, we take it for granted. It is essential to modern human life. It drives us to self-fulfillment during the day and it serves to guide us in dark times and places. Light is so much more important than we're aware, just give it some extra thought the next time you're watching the night sky or tanning under the sun
I have a new riddle but I think it's really difficult, so I will be quite impressed if someone gets this.
I have one hand, one head, four feet,
A tail, some teeth to tear my meat.
Three bands I've been in: busted two.
Now, is my name yet known to you?
@DarkWolf the fenris wolf?
@brenndansouthwind
Yes!! That's it!! Bragging rights to you for getting that one
It hides during the day obscured by sunlight. Its arms encircle and swallow the skies, and only appears when day's light dies.
What is it?
@brenndansouthwind
Is it darkness?
@DarkWolf not quite, close, but your definitely on the right track.
@brenndansouthwind
Last guess(es): is it the moon or stars?
@brenndansouthwind
Is the The Milky Way?
@Mirea correct!
You are in a room with 4 white walls, with no windows. You are sat at a small table in the middle of the room. There is a man at the opposite side of the table. He says to you "There is a statue behind you. You have 24 hours to look at it without turning around. At the end of the 24 hours, I will ask you how you managed to do it."
The man then goes silent, and stares at you for the next 24 hours.
How can you see the statue?
When maw unleashes inferno, the darkness of Hell will choke out the Heavens.
Nimbus burns black and red, scorching sky and soil and sea. What is this?
@brenndansouthwind I'll stick with the natural disasters theme and guess a volcano.
@BurkeDevlin righto! I'm only good at personification of nature and it's disasters, so I'll try to think of something harder. It may take me a while cuz I'm pretty much making It from scratch
The ground gave way when it opened its mouth to speak, no words were spoken but a sound of thunder. The corners of its mouth extend to the horizon on either side, baring its gnarled gnashing teeth to reveal a cracked smile with no expression. Its massive jaws grind stone to dust, and pulverize wood to tender pulp. The beast stirs, shaking large structures and their foundations, glass shatters, concrete crunches, supports snap. The beast does not breathe nor sleep nor hunger, It can demolish cities, topple cars, ruin lives, and leave nothing left in its wake.
Of what do I speak?
@brenndansouthwind An earthquake?
@BurkeDevlin nice job! That correct
I'm a twisting path,
An endless track;
Walk straight on my face
You come to my back.
What am I?
A prison you feel safe in, yet never quite happy. Whenever you try to leave, it only grows bigger. What is it/what am I?
