Spawning

Drops
The ender dragon drops 60 dragon scales and the experience she drops is worth 40 levels of experience.
Behavior
The dragon has two attacks. One is a charge attack, where the dragon tries to charge at at the player. She does about three hearts of damage. The other attack is the dragon spitting out an explosive flame wave. That does about one heart for each of the small fireballs the wave consists of. The dragon has 127 hearts. She can destroy anything but obsidian, obsidian backdrops, bedrock, enderstone, and ender gem ore.
Death
Once the dragon is killed, her death animation is played, during which she drops dragon scales and experience. A portal to the overworld is generated as well as a chest, which contains 16 diamonds and the ender dragon egg, which is obtainable by breaking it but a chance of 50/50 to collect, or placing a torch underneath the block underneath the egg and then breaking the block under the egg.
