Ender Dragon

The Ender Dragon is a boss that might be added in Update 0.15.0, along with The End. It is the final boss of minecraft and the most difficult to kill.

SPAWNING
The first ender dragon spawns naturally in the end. It is already in the end when you arrive. But once killed, it can be respawned by placing four ender crystals around the exit portal.

ATTACKS
The Ender Dragon has many attacks. The principal is charging on the player, wich make a lot of damage. The player has to hit the dragon many times to make it turn around. Next, the dragon can throw Ender Charges. These are almost the same things as Fire Charges. They make the same sound and they explode like the ghasts fire charges. The main difference is that Ender Charges are purple. And finally, the last attack is the Acid Breath. The Ender Dragon will sometimes "sit" on the portal and then blow particles called Acid Breath that make damage to the player or to other mobs. The Acid breath can be put into an empty bottle to make persistant potions.

DEFENSE
The Ender Dragon has many ways to defend itself. First, it has ender crystals to regenerate his life. If you try to kill the dragon before destroying the crystals, it will always regenerate its life and it will be impossible to kill it. Also, the ender dragon flies fast and high so it is really difficult to hit it with any type of weapon.

DEATH AND DROPS
Once defeated, the Ender dragon will appear to have beams of light spontaneously erupting from its body. It will then explode, dropping enough experience to bring a player from no experience to level 78 (12000 - 10 drops of 1000 experience, one drop of 2000 experience). Subsequent ender dragons (ones re-spawned via the Ender crystals) only drop 500 experience.
