Ironman notes

You need 98 Slayer to damage it, so plan the Slayer levels before the trip.
Counts as a Slayer task from Raptor, Kuradal, Morvran, Laniakea and Mandrith (task: dragons, gemstone dragons and onyx dragons). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
Weak to arrows (bows): bring that style for faster kills.
Aggressive: it attacks on sight, which is handy for AFK kills once your gear outclasses it.
Drops green charm, gold charm, crimson charm and blue charms for Summoning pouches.
Always drops Hardened dragon bones: Prayer XP as you go.
4 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.
