Red dragons are strong monsters found within the Red Dragon Isle — an area of the Wilderness south of the pay-to-play fence and east of the Lava Maze. Among dragons, they are killed least often due to their location in the Wilderness far from a bank and the threat of PKers.

Strategy[]

Like all dragons (except the King Black Dragon), fighting them using the Paralyze Monster prayer is very helpful as they cannot fight back. Bring restore prayer potions. Consider bringing along a few super Attack and super Strength potions OR potions of Zamorak with sharks to increase the kill rate.

Regardless of which potions the player brings, sharks or other high-healing food should be included to counter the minimal dragonfire damage taken when initiating combat, and for emergencies. Fire+nature runes for high level alchemy are also recommended. Don't bother with a fire staff variant because fire runes are a common drop.

A teleportation method isn't particularly useful because the region is level 35—40 Wilderness and access is to the north.
