Humans dearest friend,
Always there in times of need,
In the ruins of great pride,
I here and now reside,

after thinking a bit, I get the feeling that in this riddle pride means more than one, such as a lions pride, but don't all start hinting nanaki or his dad, because they've already been said. In the previous thread LN said that the closest I'd been to solving the answer was saying GI Nattak, but still far off. Maybe what we are looking for is not a character or thing based within the storyline of the game. Maybe it's something that we fight randomly or part of a sidequest? Such as the lady you fight for alexander etc. There are many good answers to this riddle if you think like I do, there's always some reasoning behind every one of them, you just have to think which angle is the right angle to view from.

I've come up with lots and lots of answers for this specific riddle and every one of those answers has been given with a valid reason that fits with the riddle. It just hasn't had the right answer there. It's because of this that the riddle is so hard, but when you find the right angle to view it from then you'll see how easy it is. So keep trying but don't guess, try and give reasoning for every line of the riddle, and don't repeat the same answers, check before you post.
