The Dragon Riders are a mysterious race, although some believe them to be a group of individuals rather than a race.

The ragon riders have only been mentioned once throughout RuneScape, during the Ghostly robes miniquest. During the miniquest, one of the ghosts mentions that Zamorak used the dragon riders as personal bodyguards alongside demons, vampires, and Mahjarrat during the Second Age.

The dragon riders are believed to be a race because the ghost also mentions that Zamorak only ever chose one human as a bodyguard. This would suggest that the riders were not humans, but an entirely different species. Others argue that this could merely mean that the riders were actually composed of several non-human races. However, the way in which the ghost says this, "Oh yes, the dragon riders, Mahjarrat, demons, and vampire warriors made up the bulk of the force..." suggests otherwise.

After Zamorak overthrew Zaros, the dragon riders were no longer necessary as bodyguards; instead, they rode wymrs into battle against the other gods during the God Wars. Their cunning combined, with the wyrms' raw strength, made them deadly forces in battle.
