	The '''ender dragon''' is a giant flying hostile [[Minecraft:boss mob]] found when first entering [[Minecraft:the End]]. It is the largest naturally spawning mob in the game. Its attacks involve charging at the [[Minecraft:player]] and shooting [[Minecraft:fireball]]s that create damaging [[Minecraft:Area effect cloud\|effect clouds]].

	Defeating the ender dragon the first time activates the exit portal which allows safe return to the [[Minecraft:Overworld]].

	The damage modification is applied to all damage types the dragon takes, including [[Minecraft:starvation]] and [[Minecraft:void]] damage, which are only possible with {{cmd\|damage}}.		It also reduces all incoming damage to it by ~75% unless the attack is hitting its head, giving it an effective {{hp\|800}} if no attacks are dealt against its head. In {{JE}}, due to a bug, the ender dragon's head has the same damage reduction as the rest of its hitboxes, giving no benefit to attacking its head.<ref>{{bug\|MC-308469\|\|Hitting the Ender Dragon's head hitbox no longer causes the ender dragon to take more damage}}</ref> This uses the formula <math>\frac{\text{original damage}}{4} + \min(1, \text{original damage})</math>, which adjusts the value toward {{frac\|4\|3}} ({{hp\|1.334\|notag=1}}<!--1.334 / 2 yields the properly rounded 0.667-->). {{IN\|bedrock}}, this damage reduction is temporarily removed when a projectile hits its head. The ender dragon's hitbox, especially its wings, is larger than the ender dragon itself. This causes players to be knocked back even when not standing too close. The damage modification is applied to all damage types the dragon takes, including [[Minecraft:starvation]] and [[Minecraft:void]] damage, which are only possible with {{cmd\|damage}}.
