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.




  1. 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.



  2. My prefix is like a cruel ruler; my infix is a version me; my suffix is a dark, flammable liquid.



  3. 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 ...



  4. My prefix describes new encounter with somebody; my infix is used to hold another attention; my suffix is something that is revolting



  5. My prefix is two letters for a state; my infix is something curvy; my suffix happens when I'm very hungry



  6. My prefix is something sticky; my infix makes my prefix great; my suffix is like an Egyptian god.
