Lava dragon

Lava dragons reside in the Lava Dragon Isle in the Wilderness (between level 36 & 42 Wilderness). They were formerly red dragons, but have spent too long surrounded by lava and have been transformed. Lava dragons attack with melee, as well as with dragonfire. They are particularly weak to magic, making fire bolt a slow but profitable method of killing them. You can safespot them in multiple ways, but one of the most popular methods is to safespot them from outside of the lava maze, as you won't get trapped for possible player killers. Another choice is to use the Slayer dart spell, as it can hit quite hard for the runes required.

It is recommended to bring a pestle and mortar to crush the lava scales at the isle, as they stack and will result in longer trips while still profiting from the scales, as well as bringing alching runes for the common rune item drops.

Lava dragons are the only monsters to drop the Lava dragon bones, which give 85 prayer experience when buried. However, burying them on Lava Dragon Isle grants 255 prayer experience instead.

Although they drop Black dragonhide, they do not count as black dragons for a slayer task.
