Red dragons are the second strongest chromatic dragons. They primarily attack using a Fire Bolt spell, but as with all dragons, they can use a magic-based dragonfire attack. They also use melee if the player gets within melee range. The dragonbreath attack can hit from a distance as well as up close, so an anti-dragon shield, the Protect from Magic prayer, or an antifire potion are essential when fighting them as they can otherwise hit over 1500. Money can be made by selling their drops. Collecting the hides and bones makes each kill worth approximately 3,105 coins.

If assigned red dragons as a slayer task, baby red dragons may be killed as an alternative.

Locations[edit | edit source]

Strategy[edit | edit source]

As with all dragons, protection from their dragonfire is required. The following can be combined to provide full dragonfire protection:

An anti-dragon shield or dragonfire shield (melee), deflector (ranged), or ward (magic) (DFS) with an antifire potion
An anti-dragon shield or DFS with the protect from magic prayer or deflect magic curse
Protect from/deflect magic and antifire potion

Alternatively, a super antifire potion provides complete immunity to dragonfire.

The dragons are weakest to bolts, so Ranged is the most effective style. Melee is not recommended without high combat stats and equipment.

Drops[edit | edit source]

Drop rates estimated based on 13,699 samples from the Drop Log Project, unless otherwise cited.

The average Red dragon kill is worth 4,431 coins.
