The King Black Dragon, or KBD, is one of the strongest dragons in RuneScape, behind [[Mithril dragon]]s and the [[Queen Black Dragon]]; with a combat level of 276, it should not be underestimated. It drops various sought after items, such as Hard and Elite clue scrolls, runes, dragon rider boots and gloves, King Black Dragon heads and the elusive [[Draconic visage]]. Players with a low combat level or stats should avoid fighting the King Black Dragon, and bring only items you are willing to lose.

==Location & How to Get There==
The King Black Dragon is located slightly west of the [[Lava Maze]], in the [[Lava Maze Dungeon]]. There are a few ways to get to him:
*Using a Waka canoe, players can send themselves to the level 35 wilderness and go north-west from there.
*Players can also use obelisks, as the location is not far from the level 44 Obelisk. However, this is not a consistent method of transportation. Players increase their chances of getting killed by PKers, the [[Chaos Elemental]] or spend more time getting there.
*Players can walk from Edgeville to the KBD's lair.
*The Lava titan can be used to teleport to the runite mine north of the Lava Maze. Players can then go south to the lair.
*Players can use the Trollheim Teleport and take the shortcut East into the Wilderness, proceed North to the altar, then directly Northeast to the lair.
*The safest and fastest way to get there is by using the magical artifact which is located just north of the Edgeville Monastery, right next to the wilderness wall. This will teleport the player directly into the lair. By using this method the player will NOT receive the 10% damage bonus that is normally received by traveling through the Wildnerness.
Jagex has confirmed ([http://services.runescape.com/m=news/king-black-dragon--dungeon-rework- here]) that by traveling to the King Black Dragon via the wilderness the player will receive a 10% bonus in damage dealt while in the lair. It will give you text warning you that once you leave the lair, the boost will disappear.

Once at the entrance, there are several lesser demons. Ignore them and go down the ladder. Once you go down the ladder, hit the lever on the wall near the poison spiders to enter his lair. There is nothing but a Summoning Obelisk, a few items lying around (gold ring, coins, uncut sapphire), and a lever to exit.

==Attacks==
The King Black Dragon has various attacks. His melee attacks include a lunge attack, in which the middle head lunges forward to attack you, and a slashing attack in which the King Black Dragon jumps and rends you with his claws.

His regular dragonfire hits higher than that of other dragons. His special dragonfire hits multiple times damages the player for 1-100 lifepoints each hit, more if dragonfire protection is not used.

His toxic dragonfire poisons the player, starting at 80 damage. Antipoison is recommended unless using Poison Purge, which heals you instead of damaging you. His shock dragonfire reduces a player's stat randomly, decreasing by one point. His ice dragonfire freezes the player.
