	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]]. The ender dragon can be re-summoned by placing four [[Minecraft:End crystal]]s around the [[Minecraft:exit portal]].

The ender dragon can be re-summoned by placing four [[Minecraft:End crystal]]s around the [[Minecraft:exit portal]].

	Defeating the ender dragon the first time activates the [[Minecraft:exit portal]] which allows safe return to the [[Minecraft:Overworld]]. Each time it is defeated, an [[Minecraft:End gateway]] is created on the outskirts of the central island which can be used to teleport to the [[Minecraft:outer End islands]].

	'''Dragon fireballs''' are special [[Minecraft:fireball]]s that the ender dragon fires. The ender dragon always fires one dragon fireball for each End crystal destroyed by the player, and also fires them periodically. Unlike [[Minecraft:ghast fireball]]s, they cannot be deflected and do not deal any [[Minecraft:damage]] or [[Minecraft:knockback (mechanic)\|knockback]] on impact with an entity. Instead, they deposit purple [[Minecraft:Lingering Potion#Creating area effect clouds\|effect clouds]] across the ground that damage players the same way a lingering [[Minecraft:potion of Harming]] II does. This means that the ender dragon's fireballs deal magic damage, which ignores any damage reduction from the player's armor. However, its damage is reduced by the [[Minecraft:Protection]] enchantment. The purple effect cloud's hitbox slowly grows larger in diameter until it disappears.		'''Dragon fireballs''' are special [[Minecraft:fireball]]s that the ender dragon fires.
