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 have protection from the burn effect regardless of footwear.

Drakes are vulnerable to the effects of dragonbane weapons, which include the dragon hunter lance, dragon hunter crossbow, and dragon hunter wand.

Drakes were created as an experiment by a Dragonkin named Karuulm after his perceived failure of the wyrm project (to the disdain of Kerapac, who would rather focus only on the creation of dragons). Where wings would have grown, gaping sores are developed instead, causing constant pain to them. As a result, drakes are very aggressive.

The following money making guide is available for Drake:

Normal ranged attacks of drakes can be fully blocked by Protect from Missiles.

Drakes do not require dragonfire protection 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 potion 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.

Using Protect from Missiles together with dragonfire protection will enable a player to take no damage when attacking at a distance.
