I’m Usually Quite Pleasant
I’m usually quite pleasant
As you roam and play,
But if you look into my eyes,
I’ll not look away.
Once you turn away from me,
I’ll attack if I stay dry,
Better grab a pail of water,
I’ll not stop until I die.
What am I?
An Enderman, from Minecraft.
Enderman are normally passive, but they become hostile if a player looks directly at them. The Enderman will stare back until the player looks away, and then attack the player. A bucket of water is the best way to defeat an Enderman.
A Precious Thing to Most
A precious thing to most,
In order to take it,
You must already have it.
What is it?
Life.

present in sun, but not in rain;
doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
A shadow.

Weight In My Belly
Weight in my belly,
Trees on my back,
Nails in my ribs,
Feet I do lack.
What am I?
A boat.
