The '''Dragon hatchet''' is tied with the [[Inferno adze]] for the best [[hatchet]] available in terms of its ability to cut wood. It is a [[Members|members-only]] tool. It is both a [[weapon]] (requiring 60 [[Attack]] to wield) and a [[Woodcutting]] tool (requiring 61 Woodcutting to use). It is considered a rare drop from the [[Dagannoth Rex]], [[Dagannoth Prime]], and [[Dagannoth Supreme]], all of whom inhabit [[Waterbirth Island]].<br />
<br />
The Dragon hatchet is approximately 5-10% more efficient at getting logs than the [[Rune hatchet]]<ref>[[Update:RuneScape Q&A – Further Answers]]</ref>.<br />

==Special Attack==<br />
[[File:Clobber.gif|right|frame|A player using ''Clobber''.]]<br />
Like other dragon weapons, the hatchet has a [[special attack]], which is called "Clobber". This lowers the target's Defence and Magic level by the amount of damage dealt divided by 10, for example, you hit a 200 on a Mage lowering their Defence and Magic by 20 effectively disabling them. The special attack uses up 100% of the special attack bar. ''Clobber'' is especially useful when battling a [[Wild jade vine]]. Although it is not quite an efficient melee weapon, its special attack is somewhat useful when fighting mages because it can lower their Magic level and their Defence to make them more vulnerable against attacks. ''Clobber'' will not work while fighting evil trees. It is effective in lowering Ahrim's magic in Barrows. It can also be useful in the quest [[Desert Treasure]].<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:DHatchetSpike.jpg|thumb|After the Woodcutting Rebalance of 23 September 2009 the Dragon Hatchet spiked in price.]]<br />
*Upon its release the Dragon Hatchet only needed a Woodcutting level of 41 (same as a rune hatchet), but could only cut logs at the same rate as a [[Rune hatchet]]. It was simply considered a more expensive, red-coloured [[Rune hatchet]] with better combat stats (which Jagex actually confirmed in the knowledge base earlier). On 22 Aug 2006, its log cutting ability was increased to be about 5-10% faster than a rune hatchet, and its Woodcutting level was increased to 61. Now it is popular among members for cutting trees such as [[Magic tree]]s, [[Yew tree]]s, [[Maple tree]]s, [[Willow tree]]s and [[Ivy]] due to its faster cutting speed that allows for more logs in the same amount of time; therefore, faster experience and cash if selling the logs.<br />
*While chopping Mahogany logs at level 85 woodcutting, the Dragon hatchet is up to 25% more effective than a rune hatchet.<br />
*On [[1 April]] [[2009]], Jagex officially changed the names of all Woodcutting "axes" to "hatchets" to avoid confusion with battleaxes and pickaxes.<br />
*Upon release of the [[Update:Woodcutting Rebalance|Woodcutting Rebalance]] update on 23 September 2009, the Dragon Hatchet spiked in price, reaching slightly above 3 million coins.<br />
