Iron dragon

Iron dragons are one of the four types of metal dragons. Their appearance is that of a dragon entirely composed of iron. As with all adult dragons, iron dragons have the ability to breathe fire, so an antidragon or dragonfire shield is a must. For ranging, an anti-fire potion is essential when fighting them. They can only be found deep in the Brimhaven Dungeon. They also have a chance of dropping the famous draconic visage.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Iron dragons, like all metal dragons, have very high defence. As with all dragons, an Anti-dragon/Dragonfire shield and an optional anti-fire potion are essential when fighting them. Without the shield, you can be hit extremely hard by the dragon's firebreath, while the anti-fire potion will only provide added protection. An anti-fire potion alone will NOT provide the needed protection.

Dragons will use both a melee and dragonfire attack while in melee range, but will only use a ranged dragonfire attack while the player is out of melee range. Using both a Anti-dragon/Dragonfire shield and an anti-fire potion and using range or magic to kill them will mean you take no damage at all. Using a Rune Crossbow along with either mithril or stronger bolts as well as using fire spells (such as Bolt or higher) makes killing Iron dragons a lot easier.

The more powerful Steel dragons can be found in the same location as the Iron dragons. If you are training on Iron dragons be aware as Steel dragons will try to attack if the player gets too close.

If you have the Dragon Slayer Gloves from the Fist of Guthix minigame, wearing these will give you extra slayer experience when killing these for your slayer tasks.
