Ishtar, styled as Ishtar, Lord of Life, was a legendary ender dragon native to the Novigrad Nest on Halfast during the Eleventh Era.
Though his true origins were unknown, his nest was chosen by HyperSilence to challenge adventurers from Novigrad. He, like his kin, was periodically resurrected after death through esoteric necromancy, making his in some sense immortal.
Ishtar was far more dangerous than traditional ender dragons, possessing 650% more health and dealing 66% more damage, as well as being very well armored against attacks. His egg was said to give off an intense, radiant gleam.
On 11E:37, a raiding party from the Knights of Ishtar consisting of FlyingPokemon, Dr. Tech, King, Kingkauw, and JustSpookie first defeated Ishtar. They considered his very existence blasphemous, condemning the dragon as a lesser imposter of their patron goddess Ishtar. It was the most challenging battle the faction had yet faced, costing the lives of King and JustSpookie.

Ishtar was created by HyperSilence using the DragonEggDrop plugin made by Choco. The name "Ishtar, Lord of Life" also came from HyperSilence, who chose it in recognition of the Knights of Ishtar and their patron goddess Ishtar for their dedication in frequently facing down the dragons of the Novigrad Nest.
