Mob for the End: Enderfin

The End, as it stands now, is a barren, empty wasteland. While this may be by design, the endless sky in the End, one of it's defining features, are completely empty once the dragon is slain, making the End feel too empty. My solution to this? A Neutral mob called the Enderfin. These would slightly resemble fish, although they would fly through the End sky. They would remain passive unless the player looks at them for over 5 seconds, which will cause them to swoop down to attack the player, landing onto the ground after attacking. They would attack the player if they walked too close to where they land, unless the player feeds them Chorus Fruit, which would allow the player to tame the Enderfin. If they are tamed, you can attach a saddle to an Enderfin, although they cannot support the player's weight, preventing you from flying on their back. Instead, they will save you if you fall into the Void, although they will need to rest afterwards, unable to save you again for 5 minutes. Feeding an Enderfin Eyes of Ender allows them to breed, laying an egg (Endermen will try to trample the egg, so it would need protection). They can only breed in the End, however. When the egg hatches, along with producing a baby Enderfin, the egg may drop an Enderfin Eggshell. These can be attached to Fireworks to give the player a 3 block vertical boost when opening their Elytra. This would give the player a reason to return to the End more often, to gather Enderfin Eggshells for these rockets.

    I like this idea, here's my spin on it. The enderfins (Maybe could be called like voidswimmers or chorustrouts) could be a rare spawn but would spawn in small schools swimming through the void as a fish does in the ocean. Instead of using a similar mechanic to the enderman with aggression, it instead could be passive when looked at, but will try to attack the player when it is not in view. If a player attacks one in a school, they all teleport away. If you manage to get close enough, luring them with chorus fruit (as you would with a cat and a raw fish) you could scoop it up in a shulker shell, making it trust you, leave the school, and non-agressive. The now trusting enderfin would follow you kind of like an allay, but will lose trust if attacked. The enderfin would swim through the air slowly and cannot be leashed. The enderfin is also actively hunted by shulkers and will attack endermites on sight. I like the void idea, but I dont think it should allow you to cheat death, instead I think it should recover a few (3-9) items if the player dies in the void. Some other small details could be that like the enderman it takes damage in water, and cannot survive in the overworld or nether making it an end exclusive mob so it does not take purpose away from the allay. For breeding I think it could be a unique process where if you feed a trusting enderfin a random number of chorus fruits (anywhere from 8-24) It splits into 2 enderfin, but has to be retamed.
