Baby blue dragon

Baby blue dragons are small, blue dragons that are found in Taverley Dungeon. Unlike their adult forms, they do not breathe fire. However, if players go to the Taverley Dungeon to kill these they might get attacked by the mother Blue Dragon if players get too close, so bringing an anti-dragon shield (and perhaps an anti-fire potion) just in case is advisable.

Due to the relatively high Prayer experience gained from their bones in comparison to their toughness to defeat, they are often killed for their bones. Each burial of babydragon bones grants 30 prayer experience; for reference, dragon bones grant 72, and big bones grant 15.

Baby blue dragons may be killed by players who have received blue dragons as a slayer assignment but do not wish to kill adult blue dragons.

Baby blue dragons are sometimes considered pests to other players who are attacking the adult dragons from a safespot, as the baby ones may attack the player, interrupting the player and leaving him/her having to deal with it, which means another player can come and steal the original player's dragon. This can be prevented by having 97+ combat, or waiting until the dragons become tolerant of the player.

It should also be noted that players who wish to just kill Baby Blue Dragons without being attacked by higher-levelled Blue Dragons can find them in Taverley Dungeon near three fishing spots for Lava eels. These are south of the agility shortcut and the small obelisk found near to the mother Blue Dragons.

When fighting Baby blue dragons, it is recommended to use melee or ranged. If using melee, a weapon with a decent slash bonus is recommended like a Dragon longsword, Dragon scimitar, or Abyssal whip. For rangers, crossbows and bolts are recommended, as arrows seem to be less effective. Broad-tipped bolts and mithril bolts are effective. It is highly encouraged not to use mage as they are highly resistant to magic attacks. Recommended food is bass and up depending on level, and good armour like Rune armour and Dragon armour will keep the player from losing much health. Baby blue dragons attack with the same speed as a dagger/whip.

Trivia

 * These are the lowest level dragons in Runescape.
 * When fighting the more southern Baby blue dragons in the Taverley Dungeon, players will experience a glitch which seems to cause the dragon to be cut off graphically.
