Red dragon



Red dragons are powerful monsters, an anti-dragon shield or anti-fire potion is essential when fighting them. It is an underrated monster as the red dragonhides and dragon bones are worth large amounts and there are red dragons that can be safely maged or ranged.

Locations

 * Brimhaven Dungeon
 * Red Dragon Isle in fairly deep Wilderness
 * Varrock museum, as a robot and not attackable

Strengths and weaknesses
Red dragons, like all dragons have very high defence. They seem to be weak against fire spells, however. As with all dragons, an anti-dragon shield or anti-fire potion is essential when fighting them. Without one, you can be hit extremely hard by dragonfire.

The Wilderness location is extremely dangerous due to Revenant Ghosts. The dragon isle in the wilderness may be dangerous due to the ghosts. If you wish to go out there have at least pray lvl 37 and and pray potions. Two people may also help, one to take the damage and one to carry extra food. If going along bring lots of food because, the dragons can do heavy damage

The Brimhaven Dungeon location is a safer place to combat red dragons. If you are fighting them here, remember to bring 875 coins for the entrance fee and an axe. There are a few safe spots in the South West corner of the Red Dragon area of the dungeon. The biggest issue is the interrupts from Wild dogs. After some time monsters stop being aggressive, so longer sessions at the dragons have fewer of such interruptions and make it a lot safer to collect the drops as long as a player stays within a fairly limited area. If you are ranging bring some food for the initial aggressive period and an emergency teleport.
