| 0:00.0 | According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that an Ender Dragon should be able to fly. |
| 0:12.0 | Its wings are too small to get its massive body off the ground. |
| 0:15.0 | The Ender Dragon, of course, flies anyway, because Ender Dragons don't care what |
| 0:19.2 | Minecraft builders think is impossible. Oh! I'm going to Hello internet. Welcome to Game Theory. Now today's theory is a bit overdue in my Minecraft lore series, The Enderman, the descendants |
| 1:06.5 | of an ancient builder civilization transformed by spending generations in the end and |

| 1:56.0 | But to understand why, let's start at the beginning of the end. |

| 2:04.5 | Sure, she's the only dragon found in the end, but the important detail we tend to overlook |
| 2:08.5 | is that it wasn't always that way. |
| 2:10.8 | The end gives us clues that, at least at one point in history multiple ender dragons made their home here |
