The Vengeful Heart of Ender is the final boss of the Echoing Void DLC. It is found in the Broken Citadel.
Appearance
Before entering the Broken Citadel, the Vengeful Heart of Ender first appears as a long black centipede-like creature with a segmented body, a pink energy connecting between each of them, six small legs, several pink spots all around its body and has a small two-horned head with two pink eyes and mouth. Upon entering the Broken Citadel though, it undergoes a transformation, where it becomes larger and more monstrous, now possessing eyes throughout most of its black segments, four small legs, a long neck, and a head possessing two long horns with the tips lit with purple flames, along with its jaw. It then gains an extra eye and jagged teeth.

Throughout the DLC, the Vengeful Heart of Ender will crawl around the level, stalking the player. Upon encountering it at it's arena, a cutscene plays where it enters a large portal and then emerging in its final form. A cutscene also plays after defeating it where it fires a few beams before collapsing and loosing its power, and then slowly chipping away. It has multiple attacks that it uses in random order.
