Green dragon


 * For advice on effectively killing green dragons, visit the Strategy guide.

Green dragons are the weakest of the four adult chromatic dragons and the weakest adult dragon that can breathe fire in RuneScape, with a combat level of 79. As with all adult dragons, wielding an anti-dragon shield or being under the effects of an antifire potion is a must. Found in various locations in the Wilderness as well as the Chaos Tunnels, they can breathe fire which can deal extremely high damage (500+) to players insufficiently protected. They are also the only one of the four chromatic dragons not to have a baby form that is attackable. Baby green dragons are only available as Summoning pets, though 99 Summoning is required.

Green dragons are one of the oldest methods of money making in Runescape. After the 10 December 2007 updates, which removed PKers from the wilderness and added revenants, sharply increasing green dragonhide prices. The dragon bones and green dragonhides are commonly utilised by players training Prayer and Crafting respectively, furthermore increasing demand of these two items.

Members can kill green dragons around the wilderness, but revenants are a danger here so be warned. In F2P, dragons can only be killed during the Dragon Slayer quest and in Daemonheim while training Dungeoneering.

 * These are a popular cannon target for many players, so kills may not be frequent.
 * On 5 July 2010, green dragons received a graphical update with the release of the Love Story quest.
 * There used to be four different variations of green dragons (all of them shown in the first picture to the right you see when scrolling up from here), after the above mentioned update, however, there are only three.
