Frost dragon

Frost dragons make lair in the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon resource dungeon. The dungeon requires level 85 Dungeoneering to access, and inside are a total of 12 dragons to kill. Frost dragons attack with all three combat styles, as well as with dragonfire. Like all dragons, they are weak to stab attacks.

Killing frost dragons is highly profitable as their bones are currently worth each. Players may gain upwards of 0 per full inventory of bones, more if using a Beast of Burden familiar.

On 17 October 2011 the mechanics of Frost Dragons received an update. They were given a ranged attack, similar to Mithril Dragons, as well as a new rebounding effect. Each Frost dragon will attack with EITHER their ranged or magic attack for the entire fight; which style it will use depends on whichever attack is randomly used FIRST - so keep an eye on the first attack, and pray accordingly for that kill. When fighting Frost Dragons, a small blue orb will appear and start circling the dragon. It is important that you do NOT attack while the orb is out, as it will rebound any damage you would've dealt 100%. Therefore, it is important that you have your auto-retaliate switched OFF when fighting these dragons; when the orb appears, click away from the dragon to stop attacking and wait. The orb will circle 3 times before it disappears, after which you can resume killing your dragon. Cannons will not deal damage to the dragon while the orb is active, and the player will not receive any damage from fired cannonballs. This makes frost dragons a slightly tougher monster to fight, but should not heavily hinder any legitimate player trying to kill them. Jagex also created randomly appearing frost bone spawns. These spawns are unobtainable, even by Telegrab --this will cause bots to 'try' to pick up the bones, effectively incapacitating them.

Note: While Dragonbane bolts and arrows should be effective against any dragon creature, they are not as powerful against Frost Dragons.

High population
After release of the Dungeoneering skill, players noticed that Frost Dragons were an efficient way of making money. Soon players flocked to the resource dungeon, making killing difficult.

Frost Dragons were updated on October 17, 2011 in an effort to combat the high amount of bots.

It should also be noted that if you die within the dungeon and your familiar is carrying bones, they will not spawn under your grave.

Trivia

 * Frost dragons were the only monster in RuneScape that lived exclusively in a Resource dungeon. (Apart from Dungeoneering floors). This has now changed due to the release of A Clockwork Syringe.
 * Despite being a dragon covered in frost and ice and using water spells, they still breathe the traditional dragonfire.
 * Although Frost dragons are dragons, they cannot be assigned as a slayer task by any slayer master.
 * Frost dragons are the only dragons that do not have a second drop; chromatic dragons drop dragonhide and metal dragons drop metal bars.
 * In the October 17, 2011 update, Frost Dragons were changed significantly; Jagex developers hoped this would combat the heavy botting.
 * Along with their update to their mechanics to combat bots, Jagex also created randomly appearing frost bone spawns. These spawns are unobtainable, even by telegrab. This is another thing made to stop bots, the way they are programmed make then pick up the bones by variables, the bones dropped by the dragons have the same code as the bones that can't be picked, so the bot will be stuck if it try to pick those bones.
 * Due to the addition of attempts to stop the bots, the Frost dragon spawns have not been moved. One spawn on one side has a dragon stuck in water, and another (because of the extra rocks to block the bots from telegrabbing/getting the bones) will be stuck there. They can still move out, and their drop is still accessible.
 * On November 23 the rebound orb now takes more than five hits for it to appear.
