Ironman notes

You need 92 Slayer to damage it, so plan the Slayer levels before the trip.
Counts as a Slayer task from Raptor, Morvran and Laniakea (task: nodon dragonkin and dragons). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
Weak to air spells: bring that style for faster kills.
Aggressive: it attacks on sight, which is handy for AFK kills once your gear outclasses it.
Drops crimson charm, blue charm, green charm and gold charms for Summoning pouches.
Always drops Dragonkin bones: Prayer XP as you go.
8 of its drops come noted, so they don't fill your inventory.
It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
