Ironman notes
- Counts as a Slayer task from Raptor, Sumona, Duradel, Kuradal, Morvran and Laniakea (task: dragons and iron dragons). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
- Weak to water spells: bring that style for faster kills.
- Drops green charm, crimson charm, gold charm and blue charms for Summoning pouches.
- Always drops Dragon bones: Prayer XP as you go.
- It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
