Ender Dragons

The Ender Dragons. The beasts which gate keep the end and rule its floating islands of stone, devoid of life. Having a matriarchically type hierarchy in their species with their females being much larger and stronger than the males.

### Home

The Ender Dragons one true home is the End. There is much speculation as to why they only reside in the End however they seem to not enjoy going out of it, this is beneficial to the people of Azrane as if they did come to the Overworld then they certainly would be wiped out at their current state. The End consists of many floating islands in an empty void, these islands are made of what we call "End Stone" as they seem to be devoid of life, however there is speculation that they once had life in them. The End Islands also consist of Endermen, a teleporting creature of great might, they seem to worship the Ender Dragons however to the Dragons they are simply small fry who do no matter in the slightest. At the first end island, the one you are teleported to when you set foot through the End Portal, the island has a indestructible small structure in the center made of Bedrock, it hosts the portal back to the Overworld after receiving enough nutrients from a slayed Dragon.

### Dragon Properties

Properties are quite different between Male and Female Dragons. However both are similar in appearances. They both have dark scales, a shade similar to the void and Purple eyes which resemble an Endermen's eyes, they also have 4 legs/claws, a tail and a pair of wings. They both are generally hostile to races aside from other Dragons and Endermen.

#### Males

Males usually have a standard look to them, being below Females in their hierarchy they are usually used as a food source when they begin to falter by their female counterparts. Usually are sent to the center of the End being forced to deal with anything that may come through the portal. They are usually quite timid and preferring to use their sheer size to scare other creatures into submission as they are not the strongest in a fight.

#### Females

Females are much larger and stronger than Male Dragons, they are said to be almost 10x the size of a normal Male Dragon. They are very ferocious even devouring their own kind. Females rule the skies and tend to command the males around, however Female Dragons tend to not co-exist resorting to feast on each other, and as such feel naturally threatened by each other. They also tend to command a large amount of males making them the equivalent to a Queen. However due to their hostility to each other Female Dragons are quite rare and are outnumbered by males 1:1000.

### Dragon Eggs

Dragon Eggs have many unique properties about them, however are extremely rare as only one in ten Female Dragons can lay a dragon egg at all, but by doing so they drain so much energy that they begin to lay dormant for up to a hundred or even more years. When they become dormant they create a shell which resembles a Dragon egg around them close to where they laid their egg.

Some interesting properties about the Dragon egg is that it requires nutrients in the form of blood, the offspring inside the egg will take shape depending on the blood provided and this can form Hybrids. It will also take on the personality traits of the bloods related soul, meaning if a passive creatures blood is used then the offspring is likely to be passive. It is very rare although that something not of the Dragon race will come out of the egg due to the sheer amount of blood needed to provide enough nutrients for the offspring to even spawn. Usually there has to be more than a full small Dragons worth of blood in order to awaken the Egg.

Once the Dragon egg hatches it will begin to grow over itself, this is due to there being extra nutrients most of the time, making the shell seem complete, this usually confuses Male Dragons and they will protect the Egg even although its empty.

The offspring usually have the properties of the species used to feed it while in the egg, however no matter what the offspring will never gain the abilities of the specific individuals blood. This is thought to be because of evolutionary incompatibilities. This makes mutations and evolution within the Ender Dragons very uncommon.

### The Great Dragons War

During an unspecified time there was a great war between different dragon clans led by different Queens, its said before this there were so many Dragons that you couldn't go 100 blocks without bumping into one in the End, however due to this the Nutrients of their world became scarce and a great famine hit, the few Dragons which survived had evolved to be able to consume each other to survive, however the lack of Dragons was still a issue so large scale battles took place in order to feed their respective clans, in the end the Ender clan won and took over the end, however due to their lack of evolutionary power they continued to consume each other making their species scarce and preventing them from leaving the End in search of new sources of Nutrients. They are now in a infinite loop of consuming each other and thinning out their own population until they eventually become extinct as a whole. The only chance they stand at this point is to hope their eggs can gain nutrients from other sources so they have smaller and smaller hybrids which can eventually fit through the End Portal to another world, however they have no idea what awaits them on the other side and only know of some small bipedal mammals that occasionally come to the End, they hope to eventually prey on them however as things are they will never achieve this goal.
