Iron dragons are one of the four types of metal dragons. Their appearance is that of a dragon entirely composed of iron. As with all adult dragons, iron dragons have the ability to breathe fire, so an anti-dragon or dragonfire shield is a must. For ranging, an anti-fire potion is essential when fighting them. They can only be found deep in the Brimhaven Dungeon. They also have a chance of dropping the famous draconic visage.

[edit] Strengths and Weaknesses

Iron dragons, like all metal dragons, have very high defence. As with all dragons, an Anti-dragon/Dragonfire shield is essential when fighting them, and an anti-fire potion is optional (unless you plan on staying for less than 5 minutes, bring an Anti-fire potion.). Without the shield, you can be hit extremely hard by the dragon's firebreath, while the anti-fire potion will only provide added protection. An anti-fire potion alone will NOT provide suitable protection. Anti-fire potions are highly suggested as these with the anti-fire shield provide 100% protection against their fire, but the untradable super antifire potions can give 100% protection without a shield. Be sure to be two or more steps away from them when using range or magic, as they may attack with melee dealing up to 25 damage per hit.

Dragons will use both a melee and dragonfire attack while in melee range, but will only use a ranged dragonfire attack while the player is out of melee range. Using both a Anti-dragon/Dragonfire shield and an anti-fire potion and using range or magic to kill them will mean you take no damage at all. Using a Rune Crossbow along with either mithril or stronger bolts as well as using fire spells (such as Bolt or higher) makes killing Iron dragons a lot easier, if you use magic bolts chaos gauntlets will help a lot

The more powerful Steel dragons can be found in the same location as the Iron dragons. If you are training on Iron dragons be aware as Steel dragons will try to attack if the player gets too close.

If you have the Dragon Slayer Gloves from the Fist of Guthix minigame, wearing these will give you extra slayer experience when killing these for your slayer tasks.
