**Typhoeus**, styled as **Typhoeus, the Giant**, was a mythic ender dragon native to the Novigrad Nest on Halfast during the Eleventh Era.

Evidence unearthed within Tartaros suggested that Typhoeus was originally imprisoned there by Eris sometime prior to the Second Era. How he came to be on Halfast in the Eleventh Era is a mystery, but it is likely that the Giant was the oldest dragon on the planet and father of the Novigrad Nest. His nest was eventually chosen by HyperSilence to challenge adventurers from Novigrad. He, like his kin, was periodically resurrected after death through esoteric necromancy, making him in some sense immortal.

Typhoeus was one of the deadliest dragons in the history of the universe, possessing 924% more health and dealing 100% more damage, as well as being heavily armored against attacks. His egg was said to give off a blazing, fierce radiance that felt dangerous to the touch.

On 11E:72, a raiding party consisting of Kingkauw, FlyingPokemon, and King from the Knights of Ishtar and joined by the Heirarch of Halfast himself HyperSilence became the first to defeat Typhoeus.

Prof3ne later impressed the community by beheading mythic Typhoeus in battle, a feat HyperSilence himself didn't know was even possible.

# Behind the Scenes

*The following is out-of-universe information about real world Halfast.*

Typhoeus was created by HyperSilence using the DragonEggDrop plugin made by Choco. Like all mythic dragons, he had the maximum permitted health for an ender dragon in Minecraft at 2048.

The name "Typhoeus, the Giant" was a reference to the thousand-headed serpentine monster Typhon in Greek mythology, so powerful he challenged Zeus himself for control over the cosmos before being defeated by the god's thunderbolts and banished to Tartarus.

Typhoeus was referenced by Acey in the background lore for Tartaros, site of the Goddess' Challenge event. It is unclear whether this was purely coincidental or if HyperSilence intended to tie together lore from Dragonhollow with his own Halfast server.
