'Tommy and Tubbo's Basic Guide to Endermen/Enderians
Facts Approved (and Proven) True by an Enderian Himself.'
Pg: V
The Ender type's pearl is the heart. Their pearl works just the same as a normal heart does, only difference is the ability to let them teleport. It can also become cracked and damaged, preventing said teleportation. The damage is not something a health potion can quickly heal, but definitely help speed the process slightly. The pearl is very sensitive and often times breaks itself if there is too much damage to the Enderian's body. Which is why there's always such a rare chance of a unbroken pearl whenever someone kills an Enderman.
Attempting to teleport with a broken pearl is extremely painful and can even cause death.

Tommy would definitely to call himself very brave, strong, and independent. And no one can argue with him because it's totally the truth! So he concluded, he doesn't need Philza to help him fly, anymore! He can do it all by himself... Or so he thought. The avian was walking around, looking for some new flowers for Tubbo since the Bee was getting a bit bored of the ones he already had. Tommy had joked that the brunette already had every flower in the universe, but Tubbo started listing off flowers he doesn't have. What was even more annoying was dumb Ranboo pitching in, also naming off a bunch of flowers. The blonde had ended up leaving the two mid-ramble, on the hunt for the flowers Tubbo apparent didn't have. Ranboo had joined him pretty quickly, but remained silent as they were nose-deep in their communicator, messaging Sneeg about something.

Tommy had noticed a ravine midway through his walk. It wasn't really that wide so he stared over the ravine edge, it was practically screaming at him to put his abilities to the test. The avain calculated his jump. He could make it over, right? and if he took a running start, the blonde was sure to clear it! Ranboo, standing under a tree, made a noise of disapproval. "You're going t-to fall and I'm not-not going to, um, help you." Tommy turned to the Enderian, flipping him off, she only shrugged with a blank face. Whatever, he didn't her approval. Backing up, he slightly folded his wings behind his back to prevent the wind from catching them and slowing him down. Ranboo shoved his comm into his bag, crossing his arms with a bored look. Tommy didn't need their approval, he has his own! And that was enough for him! So he began running, opening his wings flatly, like Philza always did, the wind felt nice under the feathery limbs. The avian jumped, pushing off the edge. A nearby branch whacked his wing, a stinging sensation flooded through but Tommy ignored it. He flapped as hard as he could, whatever the tree did hurt even more, but he was flying! Sort of. He thinks? He was definitely not gliding anymore, which was good! His wing twitched painfully, the blonde dared a glance. The once-white and tinted gold wing was coated in sticky, red, blood. The blonde squawked in surprise, hearing Ranboo shout something, but unable to comprehend it. Without thinking, he grabbed his injured wing, feeling the sting grow into a burning pain air began flying past him faster. He hadn't realized he was falling until Ranboo was in his view, falling with him. The Enderian looked terrified as they grabbed Tommy and held closely, throwing a pearl at the ravine edge. He felt a weird pull and suddenly him and Ranboo nearly smacked into the ravines large wall of rock. The taller made a noise as she scrambled to grab the ledge, but to no avail.

The two were falling again. Tommy didn't notice he had been screaming this whole time until his lungs burned and throat was raw. Ranboo didn't make much noise, only warbles and clicks as he was desperately trying to summon another pearl but couldn't due to the few-second exhaustion of the previous one. Which was enough time for them both to slam into the cold, still, waters bellow. Tommy didn't get much pain from that except the burning sensation of a belly flop. He gasped, but the water rushed it's way into his lungs. Coughing violently, he tried to gasp again for air that wasn't even there. Darkness was poking at the edges of his vision. But fear was keeping him awake, and the fact that the blonde turned and saw Ranboo, floating unmovingly, with blood and smoke rising from every part of their body. He shouted, but not much could be heard and the Enderian seemed to already be knocked out.
