Information comparing locations for Slayer tasks will be on this page

Brutal black dragons are slayer monsters found in the Catacombs of Kourend. Requiring level 77 Slayer in order to be damaged, they are a tougher version of black dragons and as such can be killed as an alternative for a black dragon Slayer task.

Players can access the dragons by heading towards the Dragon's Den and running past the brutal blue and red dragons, or alternatively, use the hole found in Lovakengj to take them there immediately (unlocking this shortcut requires climbing up the vine from inside the catacombs first).

Like all brutal dragons, they use Melee, Magic and long-range dragonfire. Using both Protect from Magic (with a couple of prayer potions) and an antifire potion will completely protect players from damage, if players don't stand in Melee range.

Brutal black dragons are the only monster to drop the dragon spear not via the rare drop table.

Date	Changes
[[{{#explode:29 May 2024\| \|0}} {{#explode:29 May 2024\| \|1}}]] [[{{#explode:29 May 2024\| \|2}}]] (update)	Brutal black dragons now have a 50% elemental weakness to water spells. Brutal black dragon's heavy Ranged defence has been lowered from 50 to 15. Brutal black dragon's stab defence has been lowered from 50 to 10.
[[{{#explode:13 July 2017\| \|0}} {{#explode:13 July 2017\| \|1}}]] [[{{#explode:13 July 2017\| \|2}}]] (update)	Brutal black dragons were given a requirement of 77 Slayer to be attacked. The dragon full helm, which had a drop rate of 1/32,768, was removed from the drop table.

Trivia

On release, the brutal black dragon did not have a Slayer requirement and could drop the dragon full helm at the same rate as mithril dragons. However, being far easier to kill with minimal requirements, this was changed following player concerns about resources entering the game and devaluing the mithril dragons' only unique drop.
- The added slayer requirement has also made them the only chromatic dragon requiring a Slayer level to be harmed.
The Magic attack projectile of the brutal black dragon resembles Iban Blast.
Brutal black dragons are the only monster to have two items from the mega-rare subtable of the rare drop table on their standard drop table (rune and dragon spears).
