I can never see myself.

I can turn your pet into a god.

I can make sweets unpleasant.

I will take your guns away, and you will feel secure.

I can turn the sun into a bunch of rodents.

Who am I?

Answer:

a mirror

because

reversing strings. Second line is DOG -> GOD, third is DESSERTS -> STRESSED (?), fourth is GUNS -> SNUG, and fifth is STAR -> RATS. The first isn't a wordplay clue; I think it's just saying that the mirror doesn't appear in itself.

You are

A mirror.

Because

I can never see myself

Mirrors cannot ever see themselves.

I can turn your pet into a god

dog → god

I can make sweets unpleasant

desserts → stressed

I will take you guns away, and you will feel secure

guns → snug (from @ManyPinkHats)

I can turn the sun into a bunch of rodents

star → rats

  • Oof, just shy of a minute later. I like your formatting better, though :) –  May 09 '18 at 07:23
  • @NicHartley Yeah, formatting cost me the checkmark and a lot of upvotes. Oh well! :) – Rubio May 09 '18 at 07:26

Any poison that a dead pet transfers to its owner would fit as well.

I can never see myself

- poison does not have eyes and the pet is dead.

I can turn your pet into a god

- god decides whether you live or die.

I can make sweets unpleasant

- because poison.

I will take your guns away, and you will feel secure

- because you get really weak and can't hold a gun anymore.

I can turn the sun into a bunch of rodents

- person dying with hallucinations.

  • You may feel differently - but I suspect I wouldn't feel very secure in the situation you describe... – Shadow May 09 '18 at 05:38
  • Yeah, "because you are drugged and you can't think straight" would be a better fit for that one. I like this one though. – Mr Lister May 09 '18 at 11:03
