I got this idea from one of Pholon's blogs, and I have two of the riddles below posted there. Arranged in order of difficulty (in my opinion).

1. **
I am a mole; I'm buried so deep.
Six feet underground, I lie fast asleep
Yet stir me awake with your loud trampling feet
An explosive demise, you're quite sure to meet.

2. **
Bat-like wings beat overhead,
Fill your small, weak hearts with dread.
Grab your stim packs, grab your guns
Hide your daughters, arm your sons
Call Magellan - hurry, run.
Irradiate, the job is done.

3. **
The rumb'ling thunder, growing storm
Profess the coming of the swarm.
It's master sits atop a throne
Bears a name that's not alone.
"Gold" by name, not meant to be,
'Cause A.g.'s all he'll ever see.

Solved first by: + Show Spoiler +
Spazer


4. **
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night
Hunter's gait an killer's stride
Charact'rize thine lethal glide.
Whether thou be blue or red
Or have eyes atop thine head...
Matters not for I'm aware
I must handle thee with care:
Gun thee down, thou giv'st a cry
Kitty cat, you're sure to die.
Sixty hitpoints, damage: none.
P'rhaps, dear puss, you'd like a gun.

5. **
Set me free and let me fly,
Drop me, castle in the sky.
My pew pew lasers can't be beat.
I zoom about this bloodstained street.
Now it's time to take a rest
I fly back home into my nest.
Just for now, my job is done
Another damn successful run.

6. **
Ice so fast yet thaw so slow,
Captured in their battle's prime
In carbonite like Han Solo.
I freeze so quick both space and time.

7.
A valley so fair the lovers did see
And breathed the sweet air, and sighed dreamily.
Said one to the other,
"I slept with your brother."
So now that cute pair will no longer be...

Solved first by: + Show Spoiler +
Hazmat


8. **
Once upon a twilight dreary,
While I flew so weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious column of stalagmite glow
While I nodded, nearly napping,
Suddenly, there came a bapping,
As of someone gently fapping, fapping hard and fast below.
"'Tis some old marine," I muttered, "fapping hard and fast below.
Kill some Zerglings, let it go."

9. **
Sacred in this twilight world
I hold my place with webs unfurled.
A star adorns my very core,
A pentegram that marks the floor.
And at its center lies a well
Of the swarm's long unsung hell.

EDIT: Bonus riddle!
A name that implies a bawdy lot
Of five doller women, a pimp he is not.
And never before has he smacked a ho
Harmtaro adun, my Zergling bro.
