[Bug]: Dragon Rendering issue

[Aceplante]

What happened?

The render distance on dragons seems to be extremely short, regardless of if I crank up "entity distance" all the way up to 500% or increase my chunk distance, they can still attack me at a range further than I can even see them?? this makes them next to impossible to fight since I get sprayed with a powerful breath attack and die almost instantly before I can even see them.
I also discovered the breath attack will continue indefinitely as long as they are unloaded, and will not stop until you manage to get close enough for it to render again
