'''Steel dragons''' are powerful [[dragons]] found in the [[Brimhaven Dungeon]] and the [[Catacombs of Kourend]]. Steel dragons are the fourth strongest of the six kinds of [[Metal dragons|metallic dragons]], behind [[mithril dragon]]s, [[adamant dragon]]s and [[rune dragon]]s. They have a chance of dropping the [[draconic visage]], which is the motivation of many steel dragon killers. Like their fellow metallic brethren, steel dragons can use long-range dragonfire in addition to using melee. The steel dragon boasts a higher max hit and accuracy compared to the [[iron dragon]], although it is far weaker than a mithril dragon.
 
 
When given a task of steel dragons for [[Slayer]], they can be an extremely hard and long task for unprepared players. The cheapest way for players to kill them are using bolt spells with [[chaos gauntlet]]s to increase damage. Players can also use a [[slayer's staff (e)]] and [[Magic Dart]]. Alternatively, players can use ranged with an imbued slayer helmet to cover up lost accuracy against the dragon's high ranged defence. Higher levelled players can use the [[Zamorakian hasta]] or [[trident of the seas]]/[[Trident of the swamp|swamp]] to kill steel dragons.
 
 
They drop [[rune items]] frequently and have an increased chance of dropping [[dragon platelegs]] and [[dragon plateskirt]]s over their weaker metal counterparts (being the [[Iron dragon|iron]] and [[bronze dragon]]s). However, the [[runite limbs]], [[rune axe|axes]] and [[rune mace|maces]] generate quite a nice sum of [[coin]]s when [[High Level Alchemy|high-alched]] to conserve inventory space.
 
 
Players can pick up the [[steel bars]] they drop to make profit, as they drop 5 at a time. However, this is unviable because players will need to bank after 4-5 kills which can hamper kill rates. Even with the completion of the [[Elite Karamja Diary]], which notes their steel bars, it is somewhat impractical as they are surrounded by many iron dragons.
 
 
If they are fought without complete dragonfire protection, it is recommended to stay in melee range and use [[Protect from Melee]], to reduce the amount of dragonfire damage taken.
