6 ticks (3.6s)

Green dragons are the weakest of the four adult chromatic dragons and the weakest adult dragon that can breathe fire in RuneScape, with a combat level of 63. They mainly attack with magic and long-ranged dragonfire. If the player is in melee distance, they can also use melee. As with all adult dragons, protection against dragonfire is advisable; otherwise, it can deal extremely high damage (1800-3000). They can be found in various locations throughout the Wilderness as well as the Chaos Tunnels. The minimum money made upon one kill is 2,707 coins.

With the exception of the Chaos Tunnels, they are only found in the Wilderness. Players should ensure they have not activated opt-in PVP.

Killing Green dragons for their bones and hides is an old and renowned method of money making. A combined inventory of dragon bones and green dragonhides is worth approximately 38,000 coins. The bones and dragonhides are commonly utilised by players training Prayer and Crafting respectively.

If assigned as a Slayer task, brutal green dragons may take their place. This requires the completion of the Barbarian Firemaking training.
