A Cloud Kingdom Classic Riddle
 
From The Riddle Treasury
A slender snake with glossy skin.
His slender tongue becomes ebon.
He holds his slayer on his head
While he's devoured, 'til both are dead.
No wooden touch, no metal sheen,
His body stolen from the queen.
And once he's gone unto his doom
He steals some shadows from the room.
(answer is one word)
