Green dragons are the weakest of the four adult chromatic dragons and the weakest adult dragon that can breathe fire in RuneScape, with a combat level of 79. As with all adult dragons, wielding an Anti-dragon shield, Dragonfire shield or being under the effects of a Super antifire potion is a must. Found in various locations in the Wilderness as well as the Chaos Tunnels, they can breathe fire which can deal extremely high damage (500+) to players insufficiently protected. They are also the only one of the four chromatic dragons that don't have an attackable baby form; baby Green dragons are only available as level 99 Summoning pets.
Killing Green dragons for their bones and hides is one of the oldest methods of money making in RuneScape. A combined inventory of Dragon bones and Green dragonhides is worth anywhere from 80k to 120k. The 1 February 2011 updates, which removed revenants from the Wilderness and brought back player killers, sharply increased green dragonhide prices. Later, they decreased again as botters returned to Runescape. The bones and dragonhides are commonly utilised by players training Prayer and Crafting respectively, creating the demand for these two items.
If assigned for a slayer task, Brutal green dragons may take their place. However, this requires the completion of the Barbarian Firemaking training.

Note: There is no guarantee that there will be no PKers, and it is up to players to take caution.

Locations
Note: The location west of Dark Warriors' Fortress no longer has safespots, though all the others do. It is dangerous for lower levels to visit this area.
- 3 Green dragons: (level 12-14 Wilderness) North of Goblin Village and west of Dark Warriors' Fortress. Note: no longer has safespots. Players in the Wilderness may also attack you.
- 5 Green dragons: (level 34-38 Wilderness) South-east of the Lava Maze. This spot is commonly patrolled by pkers.
- 12 Green dragons: (level 19-24 Wilderness) East of Bone Yard . The most popular area to kill green dragons. Most likely to get player killed in this area.
- Chaos Tunnels (multicombat area, also: Baby black dragons) making this area somewhat irritating for many players. There are 3 Green dragons in one cave and 4 Green dragons in the other; see the map of the Tunnels in the article for more information.
- 5 Green Dragons: Forinthry Dungeon (around level 17 and 18 Wilderness). They are just beside the Greater demons area. It can be accessed in level 31 or level 18 Wilderness, near the southwest entrance to the old Bounty Hunter volcano. Considered the safest place for Green dragon hunting. However, if you take the level 31 entrance you may have to pass through revenants and other dangerous monsters in the Dungeon to get to the spot. This spot is a multi-combat zone.
- Daemonhiem: On the Abandoned set of floors. These dragons are much more dangerous, as they range from low to very high levels and also do magic attacks.
