Dragon axe

The Dragon axe is the best axe available, and can only be used by members. As with all axes, it is both a weapon, requiring 60 Attack to wield, and a Woodcutting tool, requiring 61 Woodcutting to use. It is a rare drop from Dagannoth Rex, Dagannoth Prime, or Dagannoth Supreme, who all inhabit Waterbirth Island. Its special attack, Clobber, dazes the player's opponent, reducing Magic and Defence stats.

As with all Dragon items, players cannot make this item using the Smithing skill.

The dragon axe is more efficient than the rune axe in cutting trees; it is about 15%  faster than a rune axe.

When woodcutting, trees can occasionally randomly turn into Ents, which makes the tree have a red face on it, swinging arms/branches, and makes the text indicative of it turn yellow from blue. If you continually chop at an Ent tree, the result will be a broken axe.

It can be fixed at Bob's Brilliant Axes in Lumbridge for 1800 coins.

Trivia
When it was released, the dragon axe simply was considered a more expensive, red-coloured, Rune axe as it cut logs at the exact same rate (which Jagex actually confirmed in the knowledge base earlier). This was later updated, making the dragon axe the best Woodcutting axe in the game.

Before Jagex fixed the speed of the Dragon Axe, Dragon Axes were worth 1,000,000 coins. After this update, the prices of Dragon Axes soared from 2,600,000 coins to 3,000,000 coins. Recently, the prices of Dragon Axes has risen to 3,400,000 coins because of the recent update contributing from December 10th, 2007. Likewise, the prices of some logs has risen as well.
