King Black Dragon

The King Black Dragon (colloquially "the KBD") is the 22nd strongest monster in RuneScape. Recently, the King Black Dragon has lost popularity since the loot it drops can be acquired from easier to kill monsters. He is still fought, however, by clans or individuals looking to pass time or just for the experience of killing it. Even though easier monsters drop the same loot, the KBD drops high price items very often so it is a good source of money.

The King Black Dragon was the highest level monster in the game until 7 September 2004 when it was replaced by the Kalphite Queen. Afterwards, he was the highest level monster in the Wilderness, but was soon replaced by the Chaos Elemental. Afterwards, it was the highest level Dragon, but was replaced by the Mithril Dragon. He is now the highest level chromatic dragon. The King Black Dragon is still the highest level monster in Runescape Classic.

The King Black Dragon can also be killed for slayer if a player's task is Black dragons.
