Queen Black Dragon



The Queen Black Dragon is the first dragon ever created, namely by Kerapac the Dragonkin. She is a massive monstrosity located at the end of the Grotworm Lair. She and Nex share the third-highest combat level in the overworld, following the Kalphite King and Vorago. 60 Summoning is required to enter her chamber, a place that can only be accessed alone. Waking and fighting her effectively requires practice, some reflexes, and decent gear of any combat style, as she has no combative weakness. Returning her to slumber is a good source of loot, and additionally Slayer experience if assigned a black dragon task, although the weaker King Black Dragon may be used if the Queen Black Dragon is too hard.

Transportation
The Queen Black Dragon is accessible through an underground cave, the Grotworm Lair. Its entrance is a short distance north of Rimmington and next to the nearby White Knight Camp. The quest Song from the Depths is not required to enter, although completing it details a backstory and a passive damage reduction when fighting the boss.

There are multiple good means of travel to get to the lair:


 * Remora's necklace, which teleports you in the White Knight Camp once a day. Earned with completion of Song from the Depths.
 * The Port Sarim lodestone, which teleports you just east of the White Knight Camp. This method of teleportation is free and unlimited.
 * A Rimmington teleport tablet, which teleports you next to the Rimmington house portal. Requires Love Story.
 * Explorer's ring 3, which teleports you to the cabbage patch north of Port Sarim.  This method of teleportation is free and unlimited, so long as you have completed the Lumbridge and Draynor Tasks.
 * A Clan vexillum, which teleports you to the clan camp just north-west of the White Knight Camp. This method of teleportation is free and unlimited, but is usable only if you are in a clan.
 * A Captain's Log, which teleports you to the Player-Owned Ports portal, located in the north-eastern portion of Port Sarim. This method of teleportation is free and unlimited.

Creation and imprisonment
The Queen Black Dragon hatched from the egg mentioned in the First dragonkin journal. The egg was infused by Kerapac with his own lifeblood in an experiment to try and create a new type of dragonkin that would not be cursed to feel pain whenever the Stone of Jas was used by False Users.

The second dragonkin journal describes the time after she hatched. Kerapac noted she was intelligent and possessed many of the powers a dragonkin does such as breathing fire, as well as inheriting his magical powers. However, he noted her size limited her ability to use these powers. He considered whether breeding smaller offspring could circumvent this problem.

The third dragonkin journal tells of other dragonkin attempting similar experiments, one resulting in the creation of the King Black Dragon. Despite him being a significantly weaker version, Kerapac attempts to use them for breeding.

These offspring were deemed to be an abject failure. The fourth dragonkin journal describes them as "broken" and "bestial". Kerapac released the King Black Dragon, who subsequently left. The Queen was stored deep underground, restrained by various artefacts designed to protect her and also imprison her.

Habitat
The Queen Black Dragon resides in the lowest level of the Grotworm Lair. To reach her, enter the caves and slide down the worm burrow shortcut on the first level, requiring 50 Agility. This will take you to the bottom level of the lair. Players without 50 Agility can traverse the three levels of the cave to reach the bottom.

There is a portal to the heart of the caves, leading to the Queen. It requires 60 Summoning to enter. Once inside, there is no exit – the only way to leave is through teleportation, death, or triumph. You will end up in a partially submerged arena, with the dragon sleeping. Once she wakes up, the battle begins.

Rewards
After restoring the enchantment and returning the Queen to her slumber, you may enter a rewards room with a Dragonkin coffer containing your spoils. Four or more different rewards are received at once. Rewards are not noted, and there is a "Take all" option, which results in the player's inventory being full of all of the unnoted items of that variant. You can also use the "Abandon all" option, which discards all of the items from the coffer. The coffer can also be used to deposit items. Items stay in the coffer until you log out or leave the chamber. It is important to know that the Ring of Wealth does not affect what you get from the chest, except for the amount of food and potions.

Trivia

 * According to the May Behind the Scenes article, it was intended for the Queen Black Dragon to be so large enough to fit 5 King Black Dragons into her mouth alone; however, she is not quite that big in the concept art nor in encounters.
 * The platform upon which the Queen Black Dragon is fought is the Stone of Jas half of the Dragonkin emblem, who are responsible for the creation of the Queen Black Dragon, as well as all of the other species of dragons across Runescape.
 * The Queen Black Dragon is the sixth major boss that requires a specific level to fight.The first five major bosses are the God Wars Dungeon generals. (K'ril Tsutsaroth requires a level of 70 Constitution, Kree'arra requires a level of 70 Ranged, General Graardor requires a level of 70 Strength, Commander Zilyana requires a level of 70 Agility, and Nex requires all of the original God Wars Dungeon bosses' requirements)
 * Before the release of the Evolution of Combat, the Queen Black Dragon had a combat level of 2100, the highest level ever attained by any attackable monster.
 * According to a Postbag from the Hedge, the Queen Black Dragon is on a body of water to "tend" the flames in her furnace. She also calls her creator "Father", and she waits for him to come back, instead of being angry that he had abandoned her.
 * Despite having no immunity to stun-based attacks, using abilities such as Kick, Backhand or Destroy does not stun her. It is unknown whether or not it was intentional.
 * The Queen Black Dragon was the first major boss monster to be instanced and soloed only.
 * This boss was revealed at the Runefest 2011 Future Updates session by Mod Mark. The Kalphite King was the other boss planned alongside the Queen Black Dragon.
 * The Queen Black Dragon can charge the dragonfire shield in one fire breath attack.
 * The update of 7 August 2012 changed the Queen Black Dragon. Among other things, she can now drop charms, some less profitable rewards have been removed, and her standard dragonfire has a cool-down of about ten seconds.
 * Originally, the Queen Black Dragon did not count for a Black dragon slayer assignment. However, with the release of the Wilderness Warbands update, she now counts as a Black dragon.
 * The patch notes of 19 June 2013 fixed the Queen Black Dragon's attacks. Before this patch, the Queen Black Dragon was unable to or rarely hit over 1000 with her standard combat attacks. The patch notes increased her ranged strength, taking it from a mere 1000 to hit over 1800 with her ranged attack.
