Ender Dragon

Enderdragons are a new mob that is planned to be included in a future update, appearing in The Ender. They will appear with the same model as Dragons, but instead are tinted black with purple eyes and have scales. Not much else is known about them, other than they are part of the "Ender" creatures. The only released images of them are with a blank or a placeholder skin.

Trivia

 * The name "Enderdragon" was first made known through a tweet by Notch reading "raqreqentba", which could be decoded using ROT13, translating to "enderdragon."
 * Before it was textured, Notch reported how he was afraid to texture it as it was a complicated model. In the end, the dragon model was so complex Notch reported that he gave up making the texture manually and invented a texture packer tool to aid him in adding the texture to the model.  Notch also uploaded the code for the tool so others could use the pack.
 * The polycount on the dragon is higher than all models in Minecraft, Notch joked about how Minecraft was "going next gen" when deadmau5 mentioned this.
