'''Red dragons''' are powerful monsters that can breathe dragonfire. As with all adult dragons, an [[anti-dragon shield]] or [[antifire]] potion is essential when fighting them as they can reduce the maximum hit of the dragonfire to under 100, although they rarely hit above 400, but they hit this with around 95% accuracy so food is also essential with a melee setup. It is an underrated monster as the [[red dragonhide]]s and [[dragon bones]] are worth large amounts of money, and they can be safely [[Magic|maged]] or [[ranged]] from a [[safespot]]. Money can be made by selling their drops. Collecting the hides and bones makes each kill worth approximately {{formatnum:{{#expr:{{GEPrice|Dragon bones|n}} + {{GEPrice|Red dragonhide|n}} round 0}}}} [[coins]].

If assigned red dragons as a [[slayer]] task, [[baby red dragon]]s may be killed as an alternative.

==Locations==
*[[Red Dragon Isle]] in level 37 to 42 [[Wilderness]] (4 spawns)
*[[Brimhaven Dungeon]] (6 spawns)
*[[Daemonheim]] - Occult floors.

==Strengths and weaknesses==
[[File:Dragon Plzzz.gif|frame|A simulated Red dragon, found at an exhibit in the [[Varrock Museum]].]]

Like all dragons, Red dragons have high defence, though they are more susceptible to stab and ranged attacks. Nevertheless, players with under 60 Ranged should not attempt to kill red dragons, as it is difficult to kill one with less than that. As with all dragons, an [[anti-dragon shield]] with possibly an [[anti-fire potion]], a [[Super antifire]], or a [[Dragonfire shield]] is essential when fighting them.

The [[Red Dragon Isle]] is recommended for players willing to risk death, because it provides a relatively unused area but unfortunately is extremely dangerous as players in that area can be a target for [[player killers]].

The [[Brimhaven Dungeon]] location is a safer place to combat Red Dragons. If you are fighting them here, remember to bring 875 [[coins]] (or [[Karamja gloves 3]] for free entry and possibly a teleport) for the entrance fee and a [[hatchet]]. There are a few safe spots in the South West corner and north of the Red Dragon area of the dungeon. The biggest issue for players less than level 127 combat is the interruptions from [[Wild dog]]s. It can be useful to bring [[Bones to Peaches]] tablets to turn bones from a few dogs into food. After some time monsters stop being aggressive, so longer sessions at the dragons have fewer such interruptions and make it a lot safer to collect the drops as long as a player stays within a fairly limited area. If you are ranging, bring some food for the initial aggressive period and an [[Emergency teleport]]. There is a safe spot within the pile of the rocks in the north western part of the area. Red dragons could block baby dragons and wild dogs so you can safely range/mage the adults.

You can also melee them. It is recommended that you have a high combat level if you plan on doing so. And when fighting, always bring anti-dragon shield and/or [[antifire]] or [[super antifire]] potions since they can deal a lot of damage with their fire breath; don't forget to bring food as well. Even though their weaknesses is stab, slash weapons like [[dragon battleaxe]] work fine too.

These dragons do not drop the [[draconic visage]]. Also, these dragons are generally left alone unless the player is on a [[Slayer]] task, as they are too far from a bank and too hard to kill to be efficient for money.
