A pseudo-riley?
$begingroup$
This is my first puzzle, so feedback welcome!
I wanted to be the very best, so here are six legendary rileys for you to solve.
- My prefix is a mythical creature; my infix has went away, but missing the end of time; my suffix is at the end of many minerals and stones.
- My prefix is like a cruel ruler; my infix is a version me; my suffix is a dark, flammable liquid.
- My prefix is like a lizard, but only half of it; my infix is a version i; my suffix is close to menace, but lacking a ...
- My prefix describes new encounter with somebody; my infix is used to hold another attention; my suffix is something that is revolting
- My prefix is two letters for a state; my infix is something curvy; my suffix happens when I'm very hungry
- My prefix is something sticky; my infix makes my prefix great; my suffix is like an Egyptian god.
