This glitch has been in the game since November 18, 2011
November 18, 2011 was when Minecraft 1.0 was released.

Does MC-111009 describe your issue?

My issue is worse than MC-111009  as I am fine with the hitbox's shape. I am pointing out that the animations are busted where the hitboxes don't follow the Dragon's animations properly. It looks like they changed the hitbox since MC-111009  and the shape itself is improved, but there is defensively a horrible desync between model and hitbox.

Can confirm. Also affects 21w03a and closely relates to MC-111009.

Can confirm in 1.16.5 and 21w08b.

Can confirm in 1.17.

Related to MC-158205

Can confirm in 1.18.2 and 22w12a.

Can confirm in 1.19. This issue is not environmentally exclusive (exclusive to the environment that's currently mentioned within the "Environment" field of this ticket).
