The Minecraft 1.19 update introduced the most fearsome mob in the game. The Warden carries 250 hearts of health and has melee attack damage of eight hearts (easy), 15 hearts (normal), and 22.5 hearts (hard). It strangely does not qualify as a boss, which makes it the most challenging and strongest mob in the game by far.
Even when compared to the actual bosses, the Warden stands out. The Ender Dragon only has 100 hearts of health and can deal the same amount of damage. However, the Wither has 150 hearts of health, which increases based on difficulty, and deals a little more damage per hit.
For a regular hostile mob, the Warden is dangerous, so it’s natural to wonder what might happen if it attacked the Ender Dragon. Well, one Minecraft Redditor set out to make that a reality, and the results are very interesting.

The Warden has two different attacks. The melee attacks will effectively kill any player with any armor in just two hits regardless of the difficulty level. The ranged attack is much weaker but is still quite dangerous. On easy, it deals three hearts of damage. On normal, it’s increased to 5 hearts, and the hard difficulty’s attack deals 7.5 hearts of damage. These numbers are still enough to kill players in just a few hits.
