Description
An Ender Dragon is a black dragon with purple eyes and white scales on its back and wings. It lives in the End dimension, but can leave that realm and enter other areas. The dragons can often be found in their home dimension, the End, and in alliance with other creatures.
Protective Steeds. An Ender Dragon can be befriended and ridden as a mount. The dragons get very protective of their friends, and actively defend them against threats. Therefore, they can often be found in alliance with other beings.
End Crystals. Each Ender Dragon has 10 End Crystals, which are found throughout the End on obsidian pillars. An End Crystal can be linked to its owner with an Identify spell, which reveals the dragon who heals from it and the whereabouts of that dragon. Ender dragons heal from these crystals, and are extraordinarily difficult to kill while its crystals are active. If a dragon is downed, it regenerates near one of these End Crystals. The only way to permanently kill an Ender Dragon is to destroy all its End Crystals and then kill it. Thus, an Ender Dragon will try to hide its Crystals and defend them with traps and magic.
Friendly and Mighty. Ender Dragons can be of any alignment, but they tend towards good. They are friendly towards most creatures, attacking only if first attacked. Some Ender Dragons turn to evil when corrupted by dark forces or serving an evil master. These evil dragons are hunted by other Ender Dragons, who try to find and destroy the offenders' crystals and hunt them down, as evil in Ender Dragons is seen as a threat to their cause. Evil dragons that escape their kin are still seen as outcasts, and good Ender Dragons will be hostile toward evil ones.
Dragon Families. Ender Dragons are normally solitary beings, but they can form family-like bonds with their kin. Dragons can mate, laying an Ender Dragon Egg. The egg hatches in 1d6 months after being laid. The young Ender Dragon is then raised by its mother and father and taught to create their own End Crystals. When the dragon reaches 10 years of age, it is considered an adult and often leaves its family, but dragon families retain a bond and often visit each other. Rarely, dragons form packs, being together their whole lives. A pack of Dragons is called a flock of the End.
The Ender Goddess. One female Ender Dragon rose above the rest. Enderwing, goddess of the Ender Dragons and queen of the End, is a master of dragon magic. It learned a way to create incredible magical force fields and shares that gift with its worshipers. Enderwing still roams the End today, communing with her dragon followers, and may intervene directly if a dire threat attempts to claim or destroy the End
