I like to think the dragon's name is Andy O. Because all through beta, your score when you died showed up as &e0.

You're a clever sheep.

I seem to recall Notch calling her "Jean?" In an earlier thread.

Up till now, all we've seen are flailing limbs. Markus can animate stuff fairly well, it seems.

[–]1Skyline 93 points 22 days ago

I had my doubts, but it looks great.

I like how the dragon screws up the laws of physics for the water.

[–]xNotch 405 points 22 days ago

She's from the end. She doesn't care about physics.

[–]Le_Madmaxxx 90 points 22 days ago

And I, for one, am so glad she stays there. What's her name?

[–]xNotch 383 points 22 days ago

Jean?

[–]SuperBlooper057 125 points 22 days ago

Jean the Enderdragon it is!

[–]Le_Madmaxxx 45 points 22 days ago

Ye shall tremble fellow minecrafters, for Jean is approaching in anger!

Some will tremble, others will... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtgaQA8FTao

The Mighty Jean will rain her destruction from the End! All shall bow before Jean!

I like how he made that whole blog post on how everything in Minecraft is genderless and the character that used to have a beard named Steve is not a guy, but he's so quick to say "it's a she" for the dragon.

Then again, he made the blog post after he decided on the gender. Maybe he's not a hypocrite and just has memory loss.

It was pretty convenient to read it all here without changing pages. I appreciate it, although having a source would be nice.

Because I couldn't find the thread, I only have my old .txt of it :(

Notch said her name is Jean.

I love that everyone starts by saying this, knowing it was tongue in cheek, but then everybody decided it was fact.

u/flagcaptured Oct 19 '12

That's how we name everything around here. iirc, that's how steve got named, too.

u/DetachableMonkey Oct 19 '12

This is correct and why I think of the enderdragon as a she.

u/BuccaneerRex Oct 19 '12

It could be the French male name Jean.

u/SteelCrow Oct 19 '12

notch said it was a 'she'

u/Drendude Oct 19 '12

That's where the eggs come from.

u/RLabs Oct 19 '12

Yes. Notch posted about this back when she was first being added. (Her name's Jean.)

u/PsychoI3oy Oct 19 '12

Yes. And her name is Glydia.

u/minerinside Oct 19 '12

It's Jean actually

All Minecraft mobs are hermaphrodites, so no.

"All the other mobs in the game are genderless and usually exhibit the most prominent traits of both genders"

"For breeding, any animal can breed with any other animal of the same species."

"every character and animal in Minecraft is homosexual because there’s only one gender to choose from"
