Dragon (race)

A dragon (Draconis Rex) is a large winged reptilian monster (though rarely seen flying) and possesses the ability to exhale dragonfire. Since a dragon's fiery breath attack can hit over 45+ damage, to safely fight them, an Anti-dragon shield or Anti-fire potion is almost always required. If both the shield and the potion are used, 100% of the damage is prevented in most cases (with the exception of the King Black Dragon's special breaths).

Dragons drop dragonhide of their particular colour (metal bars in the case of metallic dragons) and dragon bones. Brutal dragons and the King Black Dragon drop two dragonhide instead of one. Dragons are weak to dragonbane weapons.

Trivia

 * Although they have wings, dragons rarely fly. This is because the animals they prey on are all ground dwelling.
 * Dragons were created by the Dragonkin by using their own lifeblood with that of a lizard.
 * During the Dragon Slayer quest, there's a short cutscene where you can see Elvarg fly. This was the only time in RuneScape when a dragon was seen flying, until the release of Dragon Slayer II.
 * The combat level of the chromatic dragons increases with a trend similar to that of the rank of the colour of a karate belt.
