Steel dragons are dragons with a combat level of 246 found in the Brimhaven Dungeon. They can also be bought as a guardian for player-owned dungeons if the player's Construction level is 95.

Weakness

Like most metal dragons, Steel Dragons have extremely high defence. Since they are made out of metal, they are fairly weak to magic attacks, so spells like fire wave or magic dart are useful against them. An anti-dragon shield, a dragonfire shield and antifire potions/mixes all reduce the potency of these dragons' dragonfire. With none of the above items imbibed/equipped, Steel Dragons' dragonfire has a max hit of 49. With one of the above items imbibed/equipped, their dragonfire has a max hit of 5, and with 2 or more of the above items imbibed/equipped, their dragonfire will be completely blocked. Weapons such as the dragon battleaxe, dragon mace, and Tzhaar-ket-em can be a good choice for meleeing because of their ability to be wielded with a shield, high crush attack bonus, and high strength bonus.

Cautions

Around the Brimhaven Dungeon are black demons, fire giants and wild dogs, so, you may be attacked by them while passing through. They also have the ability to use their fire breath from a distance, only shared with the other metal dragons, Elvarg during the Dragon Slayer quest, Brutal Green Dragons, and the King Black Dragon, so using a safe spot will not help against these beasts. It can hit up to 25 with melee, and even harder with its breath if you are foolish/forgetful enough to leave your anti-dragon shield somewhere that is not on your character. However, some people bring runes to mage them while not getting hit at all, by standing at least 1 space away from its head (Being on low detail helps, as you can see the floor grid), wearing an Anti-dragon shield and drinking Anti-fire potions. It is also advisable to range these dragons as you can kill 50 or more in one trip. Bring several ranging potions and anti-fire potions. Also be sure to bring a woodcutting hatchet which you have the required level to use in order to negotiate the vines in Brimhaven Dungeon. If players wish to melee these dragons, prayer potions are a must for killing them effectively(about 10-15 per inventory). It is, however, NOT recommended to kill these dragons with melee unless all your melee stats are 75 or higher. Use the Protect from Melee prayer, defence is practically useless against them as they are so strong. Even with prayer, bring 2-3 pieces of high level food just in case.

Trivia

As with all dungeon monsters, Steel dragons that are purchased and placed in dungeons do not drop items when they die. However, the dragon's fireball's can still be used to charge the Dragonfire shield making the dragon a highly desired guardian.

The steel dragon's max with its dragonfire when used against an unprotected player is 49. The dragon seems to hit higher more often when using its ranged dragonfire attack.

Players wishing to train summoning may find killing steel dragons a good option, as they drop sufficient amounts of charms.
