Drakes are wingless dragons found in the middle level of the Karuulm Slayer Dungeon in Mount Karuulm, requiring level 84 Slayer to kill. As they are only found within the volcano, players must wear the boots of stone, boots of brimstone or granite boots to protect themselves from the extreme heat of the dungeon floor. Alternatively, players who have completed the elite Kourend & Kebos Diary can wear any type of footwear, or no footwear, without being rapidly burned.

Drakes were created as an experiment by a Dragonkin named Karuulm after his perceived failure of the wyrm project. Where wings would have grown, gaping sores are developed instead, causing constant pain to them. As a result, Drakes are very aggressive.

Mechanics[edit | edit source]

Drakes normal ranged attacks can be fully blocked by protect from missiles.

Drakes do not require a fire protection shield or potion to be slain, unlike most other dragons. However, after seven auto-attacks, drakes will launch a volcanic breath towards the player's current position, which deals 6-8 damage for four hits if the player is struck by the projectile.

• The levels of dragonfire protection apply to this special attack.
• Having a form of dragonfire protection will reduce this to 0-4 damage.
• Wielding a dragonfire shield, dragonfire ward, or anti-dragon shield alongside drinking an antifire will negate the damage.
• Using a Super antifire potion or its extended version will negate the damage, allowing you to wear a defender or use a blowpipe.

Alternatively, moving one tile elsewhere when the projectile is launched allows complete avoidance.

Together, a player can take no damage when using protect from missiles and dragonfire protection while attacking at a distance.
