Ironman notes

  • Counts as a Slayer task from Raptor, Duradel, Kuradal, Morvran and Laniakea (task: black dragons and dragons). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
  • Weak to Melee, Ranged and Magic: bring that style for faster kills.
  • Immune to poison and stuns.
  • Aggressive: it attacks on sight, which is handy for AFK kills once your gear outclasses it.
  • Drops 4 kinds of seed, which keeps farm patches stocked.
  • 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.
