I sound like a boy you had on an ocean cruise, I come in four forms and mark the time you lose, If you add an -ing I can still be a noun and wind up in all sorts of foods

wife-keeper, candle-peeper, one of sisters three. large and low is how I grow do you know me?

I am a hunter with fangs and usually hair. Some people come close only as a dare. I have legs but I don't walk on four. I like my home off the floor. I hunt with line and play with my food. Please don't hurt me, I really do good.

I have a security job, but I do not have a break. I am often seen in farming fields.

I ruled the land, the sky, and water, My history was a glorious chapter, My reign was long, a world of terror, now remains kins with feathers.
