**King Black Dragon**
The King Black Dragon, often called KBD, is an aggressive three-headed dragon located inside his lair deep in the [[guides:wilderness|Wilderness]]. The King Black Dragon has a combat level of 276. His dragonfire breath is very deadly without protection so players should always take an Anti-dragon shield or Dragonfire Shield with them.
**Fight overview**
The King Black Dragon attacks with **Melee** and **Dragonfire**.
* **Melee**: The King Black Dragon rams his middle head at you, or attempts to claw you. They do stab/slash damage respectively and have a max hit of 26.
* **Dragonfire**: The King Black Dragon has four different types of dragonfire. They can all hit up to 65 if completely unprotected. Protect from Magic offers slight but not much resistance compared to other chromatic dragons.
* **Normal dragonfire**: A regular ball of fire similiar to that of other dragons, can be fully blocked with an anti-dragon/dragonfire shield and antifire.
* **Freezing dragonfire**: An icy version of the normal dragonfire, which deals up to 10 damage with full protection. Has a slight chance of freezing the target similar to a wyvern's ice breath.
* **Shocking dragonfire**: An electrical version of the normal dragonfire which deals up to 10 damage with full protection. Has a slight chance of draining the target's stats by 2. Super restores should be brought to counter this effect, especially as it will shorten the duration of combat potions.
* **Poison dragonfire**: A green version of the normal dragonfire, which deals up to 10 damage with full protection. Has a slight chance of poisoning the target for 8 damage. Antidotes should be brought if you do not plan to wear a Serpentine helm.
Pray **Protect from Melee** and **Piety** if you are on the **regular prayerbook**.
{{images:prayers:protect_from_melee.png?nolink|Protect From Melee}} {{images:prayers:piety.png?nolink|Piety}}
Pray **Deflect Melee** and **Turmoil** if you are on **Ancient Curses**.
{{images:prayers:deflect_melee.png?nolink|Deflect Melee}} {{images:prayers:turmoil.png?nolink|Turmoil}}
**Location**
You can get to King Black Dragon by teleporting near his lair via the Monsters teleport in your spell book. You then open the gate, climb down the ladder and push the lever.
**Drops**
The King Black Dragon has several notable drops. The full Drop table can be found on the official [[stats:drops|Wiki Drops Page]]. This page will automatically update if any changes are made.

**Gear setups**
As the KBD is located deep within the wilderness, only bring what items you are willing to risk. Prioritize a high dps weapon, such as a Whip of Chaos or Dragon Hunter Lance.
Substitute [[items:brawling_gloves|Brawling gloves (slayer)]] and a Slayer Helmet (i) if on a Slayer task. Elite Void can also be used effectively here.
* Antidote++, Antivenom, or Antivenom+ are the best forms of poison protection aside from Serpentine Helm.
* Super Extended Antifire is the best form of Antifire protection.
* Super Restores are recommended over Super Prayers in the case of a Pker attacking you.
* Amulet of Glory, ring of wealth, or Grand Seed Pod for lvl-30 teleport
The amount of each potion that you take will depend on your gear, skill, and comfort level.
Other items that are worth bringing:
* Bonecrusher
* Rune Pouch with Vengeance
* Looting Bag
* A range Switch to anti-pk (Rune Crossbow works fine)
