### First appearance

*Cold as Ice (Fractures)**War of the Ender Kingdoms (Trailer) (War of the Ender Kingdoms)*

The **Dragon** is a major character in Rainimator's Fractures Saga, and the last Ender Dragon before the Battle of New Dragonspire, who first appeared in Cold as Ice.

Belonging to the  Ender Watchers, The Dragon lived to guard the End Crystals near New Dragonspire, sharing a a metaphysical bond with Vordus, the Dragonseer, as is usual through the ages. In her debut, she was tamed by Rain, the current Dragon Tamer, after the Battle of the Frostbourne Castle, before the Ender Watchers relinquished her due to his deserting of his home in the Battle for Glacierford. She was then killed by Naeus and Hogsworth at the Battle of New Dragonspire, minutes before the Dragonseer's death.

She was later revived in *Back into Darkness* by the  Nether Horde, becoming loyal to the Nether Empire.

## Design

The Dragon is a massive, black Ender Dragon, with large, gray wings and a range of spikes from atop her head to her long tail, and four, gray-clawed legs, both useful for slamming into foes. She has a long, protruding snout, and pink eyes with purple pupils, and possesses great speed and flexibility.

After its revival and corruption in *Back into Darkness*, her scales were given a red tint and orange highlights, her eyes now became red, and her wings and spikes became a darker red color.

## Story

“*Only one Ender Dragon can exist in a time because the Ender Crystals can only support one. The End City of Dragonspire houses all the eggs, ready to rebirth an Ender Dragon in case one dies.“- Rainimator Lorebook*

#### *To The Void*

During a young Ceris' quest for the End Crystal of the Gloom Peninsula as a youth, The Dragon's parents were killed by the Orchid Fleet- a faction of End Pirates seeking the crystals to explore new frontiers. After Ceris willingly gave up the Crystal, the Dragon's egg was left behind with a tied-up Ceris.

### War of the Ender Kingdoms

At some point in time, either during or after the War of the Ender Watchers, the Dragon hatched into a fledgling and was trained to harness the power of the End Crystals.

### Fractures

#### *Cold as Ice*

The Dragon made her debut in Cold as Ice, where she was sent by the Ender Watchers and besieged the Dreadfort with her ferocious fire breath, wreaking havoc alongside an army of Endermen - this ignited a war between the two factions. Flying through a portal in her descent back to her realm, she was followed by Rain, who courageously teleported through with an Ender Pearl; he subsequently tamed the Dragon with an Eye of Ender, with the Ender Watchers observing the scene, finding Rain worthy. Flying back to the Overworld with Rain on her back, the taming of the Dragon ended the battle and forged a powerful alliance between the Frostbourne and the Ender Watchers; later, Rain flew over the Undead's fortress at a taken Glacierford on the back of the Dragon, foreshadowing an attack.

#### *We Are the Danger*

In We Are the Danger, the Frostbourne army, donated Enderman troops, and Frostbourne Footsoldiers marched in an attack on the Undead. As part of the plan, the Dragon and her Tamer ambushed the Undead army from behind with her fire breath, attempting to reduce Herobrine to ashes, however the latter escaped with Blackbone through a Nether Portal. Later, at a reclaimed Glacierford, the Dragon sat perched at the front line. The Nether Horde and the Undead soon initiated a fierce counterattack, and the Dragon was forced to fight, attacking Gigabone with a stream of fire breath that burned the Wither Titan's face and upper torso. Rain seemingly elsewhere. Later, as Rain fled the fight on the Dragon, it's shown that the latter was unsuccessful in killing Gigabone.

After the battle, for deserting Glacierford, the Ender Watchers shunned Rain and took back the Dragon from him as punishment.

#### *Wither Heart*

The Dragon was briefly mentioned by Ser Patrick in Wither Heart by questioning Rain his title of, "Dragon Tamer".

#### *Ender Wish*

The Dragon is not seen again until Ender Wish, where she fights alongside the Ender Watchers and the Enderman troops in their last stand against the Nether Horde at New Dragonspire. Decimating many Pigman troops in her vicious rampage, she was soon killed with the combined efforts of Hogsworth and a corrupted Naeus, the latter then bearing the decorative title of "Dragonslayer", falling with a horrible thud to the ground as she drew her last breath and her eyes faded to a ghostly grey.

#### *Back into Darkness*

The Dragon was seen in the End, now controlled by the Nether and being resurrected to now fight for the Nether Horde.

## Personality

*"Loyal and obedient to whoever tames it"*

## Skills

*"The Ender Dragon can fly at average speeds, but its fire breath that can turn castles into ashes is what makes it a feared creature." - **Rainimator Lorebook***

The Dragon has the abilities of flight and inter-dimensional travel, more specifically from the End to Overworld and vice versa. The Dragon can draw forth a malignant fire breath capable of damaging the giant Gigabone, a character normally unaffected by fire or lava. The Dragon also acts as a conduit for both Rain and Vordus' powers as Ender Watchers, and her general size comes as a worthy asset, with her tail possessing enough strength to knock away hordes of pigmen.

## Trivia
