Hi, registered to forum to post this. Hope this is the right section. (Sorry for bad english, non-native speaker from Mexico)
Playing on Nintendo Switch, Physical Game, Survival Mode, Infinite Map. Most recent version available. Using "Natural Texture Pack" included originally in game, no other pack/mod.
Long post but detailed.
I was exploring in the Overworld (near original spawn point) and heard the Enderdragon. Walked in the direction of the sound. Suddenly, a Enderdragon Health Bar appears, then another, then another. In a given moment, there were 3 health bars. Then 2, then 3 and so on. They were switching between 1 and 3 bars. Kept walking. Suddenly, I saw 3 enderdragons flying. Is this normal?
Also, when I first arrived to the End I began my first battle against the enderdragon. Died several times and re-entered. In one ocassion, the dragon wasn't there anymore. The portal to return to overworld was activated. No portal to the End Islands.
Checked the achievements and the one of killing the ender dragon was still pending.
Revived the dragon and that achievement was unlocked. So I was able to revive the dragon even if I never killed it.
What I found was that if I destroyed 4 or more End Crystals (to stop the dragon from regenerating its health), died and re-entered the End, the dragon was missing, the overworld portal active but no End Island Portal. So on each "revive to kill" iteration, if a went below 4 crystals it was a Kill-or-dissapear situation. Eventually, in this attempts (Dragon killed me several times), 2 End Islands portal appeared. Not at the same time, but in different iterations.
Eventually, I managed to kill the dragon. A third portal appeared. No Dragon Egg and not a lot of XP as expected when killing it for the first time.
It was after all these revive-dissapear-kill attempts that the 3 enderdragons in the overworld appeared.
It is as if the absence of the 4 crystals would teleport the dragons to the overworld.
So, is this a Bug?
I'll try to kill these overworld dragons and see if one of them drops an Egg. (Supposedly, it shouldn't. Right?)
I made Switch Snapshots and Videos in case they are needed.
Thanks in advance!
Update:
Went back with weapons and activated coordinates. Dragons appeared on X:0, Z:0.
I was able to kill the 3 with only an enchanted bow (Power & Infinity). Very easy since dragons didn't attack and weren't able to restore health.
Left a huge hole that went down to the bedrock. They flew upwards most of the time going from Y 0 to 128, sometimes they dissapeared while high in the sky and reappeared; sometime they dive down.
Each dragon had its own health bar.
They left XP but I'm not sure how much since I just found the orbs from one of them.

Bug or not, it was epic!!!
This is a known bug.
Good to know.
Thanks for the information.
I'll use the masive destruction they left to build a mining camp.
