Baby black dragons are the young of adult black dragons and are the strongest baby dragons in Old School RuneScape. Unlike their adult form, they are too young to breathe flames, so no anti-dragon shield or other protection from dragonbreath is needed to fight them. Baby black dragons have combat stats comparable to those of an adult green dragon.

They can be killed as an alternative for a black dragon Slayer task.

The baby black dragon in the Myths' Guild basement lacks the elemental weakness to water spells possessed by those in the Evil Chicken's Lair and Taverley Dungeon.
