You wanted a hard one...
raiNForest Mystery
Deep, deep in the rainforest we dwell In dark and humid places we feel well
If the 13th warrior saw us he would swear He’d say “A serpent with claws of a bear”
We have claws that much is true And we are related to bears too
We do have legs, we do have feet Can bend them anyplace, how neat
Our skin has no armor hard as stone The limbs miss a skeleton made of bone
To hunt we spit out sticky goo Holding our prey like super glue
To hunt we spit out sticky goo Holding our prey like super glue
That’s impossible you might swear How can we be related to the bear
Yet lack a rigid skeleton whatsoever No, it’s a misdirection, quite clever
Those bears have more than four legs And to reproduce they lay tiny eggs
Enough of the bear more about our kind We work by touch yet we are not blind
Some people even keep us as a pet Mostly to see us use our slime jet
A cloth and our skin feel the same So much we got the textiles name
RaiNFores Mystery Price From the forest crystal, sliver and mundane all still unidentified thats so totally insane
Instructions You know the drill, be the first to post the correct answer (Name of whatever the hell is described in the riddle) and win the price... that’s all... Ohh yeah, this is a real thingy existing in the real world.

No, neither a basilisc from the mythology nor a basilisk (lizard). And no spider either...

Our skin has no armor hard as stone The limbs miss a skeleton made of bone So, no to the anteater and no to the armadillo... I would like to emphasise that every line, as confusing as it might be, holds the truth! ;D

Added some lines... That’s impossible you might swear How can we be related to the bear
Yet lack a rigid skeleton whatsoever No, it’s a misdirection, quite clever
Those bears have more than four legs And to reproduce they lay tiny eggs

Smitty, I proclaim thee raiNForest Mystery KingIt is of course the Velvet Worm, aka Claw Bearer, quite a funny creature, so go watch some youtube videos Btw. they are related to water bears (Tardigrade) which range in size from 0.3 - 1.2 mm.

i was originally thinking tardigrades (water bears) but they didnt match the first description, then when i remembered they shot out sticky goo from their antennae i knew it had to be velvet worms
