Black dragon

Black dragons are very powerful monsters, and like all other dragons, an Anti-dragon shield is a must when fighting them. They are not as popular a monster as the weaker blue dragon, but their guaranteed drops, black dragonhide and dragon bones, are some of the most valuable guaranteed drops of all monsters. They are also the most powerful chromatic dragon.

Locations
Black dragons can only be found in three locations across RuneScape:
 * Taverley Dungeon - Requires dusty key
 * Lava Maze in level 42-43 Wilderness
 * Evil Chicken's Lair after completing the Sir Amik Varze subquest of Recipe for Disaster

Strengths and weaknesses
Black dragons have an extremely high defence, one of the highest of any monster in RuneScape. As with all dragons, an anti-dragon shield or an anti-fire potion is essential when fighting them. Without one, you can be hit extremely hard by dragonfire.

They can be ranged or maged safely in all of their locations. You could also try killing them with a halberd; however this is not advised as it may take a very long amount of time.
