Iron dragon (Dungeoneering)

An Iron Dragon may be encountered while training Dungeoneering, they normally appear alone in rooms in the furnished floors (floors 18-29). Bringing an anti-dragon shield is recommended but is not needed. If you do not have one or use the Protect from Magic prayer, you will be hit Extremely hard.

Habitat(s)

 * Daemonheim (furnished floors)
 * Dragons can be encountered in a party of just one person.

Strengths and weaknesses
Iron dragons, like all metal dragons, have very high defence. As with all dragons, an anti-dragon shield, or cure potion is essential when fighting them. Without the shield or cure potion, you can be hit extremely hard by the dragon's firebreath, while the anti-fire potion will only provide added protection. It is possible to reduce the damage from the dragon's breath using protect from magic, but this effect does not stack with the shield.

Dragons will use all melee, magic and dragonfire attacks while in melee range, but will only use ranged dragonfire and magic attack while the player is out of melee range. The dragon will not change target unless the player it initially locked on to runs away or dies.

Strategies
A recommended strategy for hunting iron dragons when using magic is to use the high power Fire spells. The gear that should be taken with you is armour that increases magic bonus and your anti-dragon. Team fighting would only require the piling players to use fire spells or stab, not requiring full armour as it would not easily change target.
