Abyssal dragon

The Abyssal Dragon is an extremely deadly dragon that can hit 1000+ damage on anyone with no dragonbreath protection. The dragon is located in the center of the Abyssal area which may only be acessed after the player kills 50 Abyssal demons in the area (teleporting away will reset the killcount). So before being able to kill the dragon a player must have 85 Slayer. Its dragonfire is black, whereas other dragons have red dragonfire, but the Dark dragonbreath may still be deflected with Dragonfire protection. It can also hit through Prayer, so loads of high healing food is required (e.g. Walrus's or Whale's) and meleeing is not advised as the dragon is stronger with its melee attacks and weaker with its range and magic attacks. It is also one of the few monsters to drop Primal ashes which give sufficiently high prayer xp when used, not to mention it also drops Ancient dragon bones. The creature drops several Abyssal items which are each worth alot of money, not to mention, they are all very powerful and give a 20% attack bonus when fighting Abyssal monsters. Also, this is the only dragon to drop the full Dragonfire shield instead of the Draconic visage piece. As the dragon is half Demon and half Dragon it drops both dragon bones and ashes.

Ranged
The dragons ranged attack smashes through prayer with ease and has a 10% chance to lower all combat stats by half of the damage inflicted.

Magic
Its magic attack does very low damage but has a 5% chance of lowering the players LP down to 10, it also has a 15% chance of lowering all the players stats to 20(excluding constitution), so super restores are highly recomended or if the player has 95+ Herblore then Overloads and Super overloads should be used.

Melee
The melee attack doesn't have any special effects added to it, but it inflicts nearly twice as much damage as the range attack, so strong that it can defeat most pkayers in one hit, therefore it is advised that player fight this monster from a distance by using either ranged or magic.
