||
| − | The '''King Black Dragon''' (named '''Shakorexis''' by [[Hannibus]]) is an enormous, three-headed [[black dragon]]. He was the second [[Dragon (race)|dragon]] ever, created by [[Kerapac]]'s fellow [[dragonkin]] [[Phalaks]]; a failed project intended to replicate the powerful [[Queen Black Dragon]]<sup>[[Third dragonkin journal|[1]]]</sup> some time in or before the [[First Age]]. One decade later, he was released into the Wilderness. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Killing the King Black Dragon at least once is one of the requirements of redeeming the [[Dragonkin lamp (Mr. Mordaut)|Dragonkin lamp]] from [[Mr. Mordaut]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The King Black Dragon can be killed to collect the soul of a black dragon in an [[ushabti]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Obtaining all of his unique drops is required for the title {{TitleAnchor|t=the Last Rider|c=#3C3C3C|loc=s}}. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Getting there== |
||
| − | There are two ways that players can reach the [[King Black Dragon's Lair]]. Note that the lair itself is not considered part of the Wilderness, and therefore there is no risk of being [[player killing|killed by other players]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * There is a ladder in level 43 of the [[Wilderness]] guarded by four [[lesser demon]]s, leading to a small area with [[poison spider]]s and a lever which can be pulled to access the King Black Dragon's lair. Entering the lair with this method will grant players a 10% damage boost against the King Black Dragon. [[Wilderness Obelisk]]s may be useful in reaching it. Players should be wary of player killers if planning to use this route. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Players can use either the [[artefact]] in the Wilderness wall north-west of the [[Edgeville]] lodestone, or the artefact in the [[Lava Maze Dungeon]]. Activating either one will teleport the player to the lair; however, using an artefact to enter will not grant players the damage boost the way using the lever does. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==History== |
||
| − | The [[Third dragonkin journal]] reveals that another Dragonkin (now known as Phalaks) created the King Black Dragon after seeing Kerapac's Queen Black Dragon. Although Kerapac noted that he was much smaller, he surmised that they could be used for breeding strong dragons which were immune to Jas' curse. The [[Fourth dragonkin journal]] mentions, however that the new dragons were too "bestial" and "broken", so the King Black Dragon was released into what would then be called the Wilderness. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Sometime during the [[Second Age]], [[Zaros]] brought the [[Ilujanka]] to Gielinor after seeing them ride a similar race to the dragons. Calling them Dragon Riders, they were feared by their enemies due to their dragon-riding skills. It is shown through the [[Last riders]] book that [[Hannibus]] rode the King Black Dragon, calling him Shakorexis. Hannibus and the rest of the Dragon Riders faithfully served Zaros, until there were five Dragon Riders left, which included Hannibus. Due to Zaros' failure to fulfil his promise, two of the Dragon Riders, [[Morvannon]] and [[Apropos]] wanted to side with Zamorak, while the other two, [[Ablenkian]] and [[Balustan]], stood with Zaros. Hannibus and the King Black Dragon stayed neutral and watched as the others were killed off by their supporting sides due to confusion. Hannibus and the King Black Dragon stayed in the room which they had been brought in, which is where the King Black Dragon resides to this day. However, the Mahjarrat [[Enakhra]] was determined to capture Hannibus for Zamorak. To increase the King Black Dragon's chances of survival, Hannibus reluctantly left him. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Sometime after being left alone, the white dragon [[Therragorn]] came to him. They became friends, and Therragorn asked him to hide her from hunters, who were killing off the white dragons for [[Third-age ranger armour|armour]]. He assisted by hiding her in some ruins south-east of the [[Rogues' Castle]], which he could hide from view. |

| − | ===A Visit by Bob and Neite=== |
||
| − | {{OccDur|A Tail of Two Cats}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Bob]], a reincarnation of [[Robert the Strong]], entered a relationship with [[Neite]]. In one of their travels, they visited the King Black Dragon, who Bob was friends with. The King Black Dragon told Bob that he had been doing the same activity as always; adventurers trying to kill him. At this point, [[R4ng3rNo0b889]] barged in and attempted to kill him, but he did no damage and the King Black Dragon immediately scorched him to a crisp. |

| − | ===A Visit by Hannibus=== |
||
| − | {{OccDur|One of a Kind}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Speaking to the KBD.png|thumb|The King Black Dragon helping Hannibus.]] |
||
| − | Hannibus, freed by an adventurer, desired to return to his home planet of [[Iaia]]. However, he had no idea on how to do so, as he did not want to get involved with the gods again, nor could teleportation and fairy rings bring him back home. Hannibus accompanied the adventurer by looking into both the [[mysterious statue]]s and dragons themselves, but did not find any result. Hannibus suddenly remembered about his old mount and the two went to the lair that he resided in. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hannibus greeted his former mount, before the King Black Dragon noticed the adventurer alongside him, either recognizing them from previous encounters or as food if they had not fought before. Regardless, Hannibus asked him about a white dragon, which he affirmed he knew and took them out to the location where he hid Therragorn. His presence ensured that the two would not be attacked, and upon arriving, unlocked the entrance with a Dragonkin phrase before leaving. |

| − | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | [[File:KBD stamp.gif|thumb|A stamp featuring the King Black Dragon from a postbag]] |
||
| − | * The King Black Dragon can talk, as seen in [[A Tail of Two Cats]], [[One of a Kind]] and [[2015 Christmas event]]. |
||
| − | * Multiple King Black Dragons exist, as shown with the presence of [[Verak Lith]] and [[Verak Little]]. |
||
| − | * The [[dragonkin research]] book refers to the King Black Dragon as "''Verak Kreath Draekun''", which is "King Black Dragon" translated literally into the dragonkin language. |
||
| − | * For a while after the Evolution of Combat, despite being a boss monster, the King Black Dragon could be tagged, allowing the player who hit him first to receive the drop even if they did little or no damage. This has been fixed. |
||
| − | * It was revealed in the [[Update:Behind the Scenes - April (2011)|April 2011 BTS]] that the [[Kalphite Queen]] and the King Black Dragon were due to be married on [[29 April]] [[2011]], to coincide with the wedding of Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton in the United Kingdom. However this turned out to be a marketing ploy by Diango. |
||
| − | * The examine text "The biggest, meanest dragon around" wasn't true after [[Queen Black Dragon]] was released, as the Queen Black Dragon is much, much bigger and stronger than the King Black Dragon. His examine was changed due to this, to "Was the biggest, meanest dragon around." |
||
| − | ** A while after the Queen Black Dragon was released, when you killed a King Black Dragon, the Adventurer's log said: "I killed a King Black Dragon, the biggest, meanest dragon around." After its graphical update the adventurer's log was also changed to "I killed a King Black Dragon, which was once the biggest, meanest dragon around." |
||
| − | * According to his [[Top Trumps]] card, he is 10 meters tall and is over 13,000 years old, meaning he was created in or before the [[First Age]], assuming that the commonly assumed lengths of the ages are accurate. |
||
| − | * The King Black Dragon was made available to [[free-to-play]] players on [[29 February]] [[2016]]. |
||
| − | * He used to have a damage cap of 5,000 for a normal attack, and 6,000 on a critical hit. |
||
| − | * As of [[1 February]] [[2018]], the highest kill count for this boss was 48,352 kills{{CiteGeneral|url = https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/7uqej0/top_10_killers_per_boss/|title = Top 10 killers per Boss|author = Mod Shauny|date = 2 Feb 2018|accessdate = 2018-02-02|quote = Here are the top 10 kills for each Boss in RuneScape, be aware that we've not listed display names for privacy purposes however if you wish to brag about one number being yours then we won't stop you!}}. |
