The Crystal Sslugs of the Test

This is the aesthetic centre of the Gardens. Here, great animals roam freely; here, the artworks and monuments of every culture are arranged. It is the most stunning neutral territory. Gnarly nighttwists, elegant yellow musk creepers, strong assassin vines, beautiful rare and Steep herbs, all grow here in attractive proportions. Each is laced with just a touch of magic frost which enables it to survive in the adamas-rich, strong-smelling soil.

"If you can make a hole that would be quite well! Otherwise, you may continue to pelt it. I will be up to my own plots in the meantime. Goodbye."

I vanish through a side tunnel and exit the caves with a swish of my cloak.

"Ha ha...uh..."

The creature chucks one more boulder at the Citadel, perhaps a bit nervously. Arrows respond in kind. The creature cowers behind his remaining boulder, using it as a shield, begins to vanish...

...and is swallowed by Thrash's mountain, entombed there, the only escape being the Refractive Facet.

"And what do you plan to do with me? I did not seek to betray you, haha! I merely wished to get out of the sticky situation you yourselves landed me in! Ha! Good work!
As is my tradition, I will give you great payment for my ransom - but before I may do so, you must answer a riddle. Do you accept these terms?"

I would, as imprisoner. I don't believe that any riddler can outfox our Yerkan.

Stay in there a bit longer to give people a chance to change my mind, if they wish.

What are the terms of the riddle? I would not want it to be such that one over-excitable contender answers the question early without proper thought and ruins all for the rest of us.

"Oh, I think it will be clear enough when you've reached the point of giving up...Keep guessing until that day arrives.
Your prison will not hold me forever - you're too cheapskated for that. I knew this condition when I entered the mountain, though of course I didn't know you had your own plans aside from attacking. Ha! Keep the terms loose. I'm giving you this chance to test your intellect against mine - I'm not here to lawyer you to death."

I am aware that the prison will not hold you forever; it isn't even exactly what I had in mind. Nevertheless, I would be quite happy to test my intellect. I accept.

I assume, of course, that the riddle is solvable, and not some piddly attempt at sounding wise and mysterious. Though you seem to respect riddles well enough.

"It seems no one else wishes to venture an opinion, so I will assume you accept my terms. Here, then, is the riddle:

Fuzzy Wuzzy Was a Mayor
Fuzzy Wuzzy Didn’t Care
Fuzzy Wuzzy – Who Was He?

If Fuzzy Wuzzy Was A Bear
Fuzzy Wuzzy’d Have A Lair
Hunter’s Can’t Surround It – Is It Even There?
And Fuzzy Was Cold – His Cave Had No Hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy – Who Was He?

Well the first obvious guess is, I think, you. Though what you are is a pretty good riddle in itself.
