Mithril dragons are found in the Ancient Cavern, which may be accessed by starting the Pyre ship section of Firemaking in Barbarian Training. The dragons have extremely high defence, but since they are made of metal, they are weak to magic.

Mithril dragons are currently the strongest dragons. Their release shattered the King Black Dragon's long standing record as being the strongest dragon in RuneScape. some players debate that KBD is harder to kill with his max hit as 60.

Trivia

• Mithril Dragons are the only Slayer task that Duradel, Lapalok and Kuradal do not give advice for; "You are a battlemaster; test your skills."
• Mithril Dragons are currently the only Metal dragons that do not drop Dragon Platelegs or Dragon Plateskirt.
• In order to receive a Dragonkin Key, you must take the Strange Key Loop and Teeth (both obtained from While Guthix Sleeps) to the Mithril Dragons, and use one of the halves on a dragon. It will animate as if it's breathing fire at you, but does not do any damage. Afterwards it's temporarily tolerant to you, giving you time to run away. During the fusing of the key, the Mithril Dragon will temporarily appear as level 57.
• In the postbag from the hedge, Oziach pointed out that there are bronze dragons, iron dragons, steel dragons, and mithril dragons when he was chatting with Evil Dave. Oziach deduced that there will be adamant and rune dragons. But that's not the end, Evil Dave saw where Oziach was going. 'Eventually, somewhere in Runescape there must be dragon dragon,' Oziach said. Fortunately, there are no Barrows dragons or Third-age dragons (although there are theories of the fabled White dragon).
