Green dragon

Green dragons are the weakest of the four adult chromatic dragons and the weakest adult dragon that can breathe fire in RuneScape, with a combat level of 79. As with all adult dragons, wielding an anti-dragon shield, Dragonfire shield or being under the effects of an antifire potion is a must. Found in various locations in the Wilderness as well as the Chaos Tunnels, they can breathe fire which can deal extremely high damage (500+) to players insufficiently protected. They are also the only one of the four chromatic dragons not to have a baby form that is attackable. Baby green dragons are only available as Summoning pets, though 99 Summoning is required.

Green dragons are one of the oldest methods of money making in Runescape, with a combined inventory of Dragon Bones and Green Dragonhide worth anywhere from 100k to 150k. The 1 February 2011 updates, which removed revenants from the wilderness and added PKers, sharply increased green dragonhide prices. The dragon bones and green dragonhides are commonly utilised by players training Prayer and Crafting respectively, further increasing demand of these two items.



Members can kill green dragons around the wilderness, but player killers are a danger here so be warned. The fastest and most effective way to get money off of the green dragons (for low levels) is to go to a large patch of rocks by the dragons by the east of the bone yard in level 19 wilderness and use that as a safe spot while either using magic or range attacks to kill them. It is recommended to have at least 46 ranged or have at least level 41 magic. Another method, for mid-to-high level players who wish to use melee is to bring only three valuable items, such as an Abyssal whip, Torag's platebody and Torag's platelegs. That way the only items lost in the case of getting player-killed will be the Anti-dragon shield (which only costs about 300 gp in GE), food and the hides/bones you collected because you are not skulled. Pkers don't come there that often and can usually be escaped from (such as by teleporting) so this method is also highly profitable. In Free-to-play, dragons can only be killed during the Dragon Slayer quest and in Daemonheim while training Dungeoneering. 

Locations
NOTE: The location west of Dark Warriors' Fortress no longer has safespots, though all the others do. It is dangerous for lower levels to visit this area.


 * North of Goblin Village and west of Dark Warriors' Fortress (level 12-14 Wilderness). This is the area most visited by PK'ers, and is now increasingly dangerous to visit. (3 green dragons)
 * East of Bone Yard (level 19-24 Wilderness). Used to be the most popular spot. This area is becoming increasingly more frequented by PK'ers, and is increasingly dangerous to visit. (12 green dragons) 
 * South-east of the Lava Maze (level 34-38 Wilderness). (5 green dragons)
 * Chaos tunnels (they are in a multicombat area with baby black dragons around, making this area somewhat irritating for many players). (3 green dragons in one area. 4 green dragons in the other area)
 * Forinthry Dungeon (around level 17 and 18 wilderness). They are just beside the greater demons area. It should be accessed just west of the old Bounty Hunter volcano (at the southwest staircase). This is the safest spot to access the Green Dragons in the Forinthry Dungeon (and Green Dragons in general), and this area is not usually visited by Player Killers.

Trivia

 * Green dragons are the only chromatic dragon that doesn't have a baby version that can be fought. However, it does have a baby version that can be held as pet and a stronger version, the brutal green dragon.
 * On 5 July 2010, green dragons received a graphical update with the release of the Love Story quest.
 * There used to be four different variations of green dragons, after the above mentioned update, however, there are only three.
 * Many players kill green dragon for their dragon bones. However many also avoid because of the player killers or revenants (Forinthry Dungeon) nearby.
 * There is a wallpaper called Return of the Wilderness that was available from the 26th January 2011 that has the Green Dragon pictured on the right hand side of it.
