Brutal blue dragons are found in the north-west section in the Catacombs of Kourend as well as the Ruins of Tapoyauik. They are currently the only monster to drop the blue d'hide body (an item rarely required for medium and hard emote clues).

Like all brutal dragons, they use melee, magic and long-range dragonfire. Using both Protect from Magic and Antifire potion will completely protect players from damage, if players don't stand in melee range. Note: An Anti-dragon shield with Protect from Magic will still cause you to take a small amount of dragonfire damage.
