Brutal red dragons are found in the Catacombs of Kourend, they are a tougher version of red dragons and as such can be killed as an alternative for a red dragon Slayer task.

Players can access the dragons by running west through the Catacombs of Kourend, past the brutal blue dragons or alternatively, use the hole found in Lovakengj to take them there immediately (unlocking this shortcut requires climbing up the vine from inside the catacombs first).

Like all brutal dragons, they use Melee, Magic and long-range dragonfire. Using both Protect from Magic and an antifire potion will completely protect players from their dragonfire and magic attacks, and they can be safespotted this way if not standing within melee range.

They possess the same melee and ranged defences as the weaker brutal blue variant, with more Hitpoints and a more valuable drop table. Players interested in doing a red dragon Slayer task can use slayer points to unlock them.

One of these dragons is fought during Dragon Slayer II.
