Revenant dragon

The Revenant dragon is the strongest of the revenants. Revenant dragons are far more dangerous than their combat level suggests, more so than other monsters of a comparable combat level. They are, however, weaker than a player of similar level.

They have the ability to freeze a player, block a player from being able to teleport, and respond rapidly to a player's protection prayer. They can also inflict heavy damage (comparable to a similarly levelled player killer) from any corner of the combat triangle. Their maximum hits are 300 with melee, 320 with magic, and 410 with ranged. Furthermore, as with all revenants, revenant dragons can restore their life points rapidly and cure themselves from poison. They can also inflict poison, starting at 80 life points.

Players should note that an anti-dragon shield is not needed when fighting these, as they are classified as ghosts, not dragons, and therefore don't use dragonfire. Revenant dragons are somewhat rare, but they can be found at the same locations as revenant dark beasts. Despite their rarity, they can be found near the Mage of Zamorak, the sulphur vents just south-east of the Mage Arena, the Western Ruins, the area between Clan Wars and the Demonic Ruins, near the Scorpion Pit, the woods south-east of Clan Wars, outside the King Black Dragon Lair, in and around the steel mine, and near the Air Obelisk. Revenant dragons do not drop draconic visages.

Trivia

 * Revenant dragons were not a part of the original set introduced on 10 December 2007; they were added to the game on 15 January 2008 when the maximum combat level for players was raised to 138.
 * Revenant dragons, along with Revenant dark beasts, are the only revenants that currently do not have corresponding NPCs in the God Wars Dungeon, although their examine texts suggest that they were involved.
 * The existence of the Revenant dragons means that at some point these dragons were involved in the God Wars. However, it is not known which side they fought for, or if they fought on any side at all. They possibly could have gotten swept up in the destruction or tried hunting weakened soldiers involved and were killed.
 * Revenant dragons had two heads before the dragon graphics update on 5 July 2010, which did not resemble any modern dragon. This may be an indication that they may be the fabled White Dragons from the Third Age.
 * Revenant dragons are the only members-only revenant.
 * Revenant dragons are smaller than the normal dragons. They also attack slightly slower as well.
 * Revenant dragons were graphically updated with most other dragons on 5 July 2010. They now only have one head, unlike the two-headed versions seen before the update.
