The King Black Dragon, commonly referred to as KBD, is a three-headed dragon located in his lair, accessible only through the deep Wilderness. Although the lair itself is not in the Wilderness, KBD is still considered a Wilderness boss by designation, as players must enter the Wilderness to fight him. The King Black Dragon has a combat level of 276, which makes him one of the strongest dragons in Roat Pkz. Players should not take this foe lightly, and they should always take an anti-dragon shield as his dragonfire breath is very deadly without protection. On Roat Pkz the King Black Dragon is his own Slayer task, so killing him does not count towards a black dragon task.
Although he will always fight back when attacked, he has gotten bored over the centuries from adventurers attacking him, as he revealed to his good friend Bob the cat.
While the King Black Dragon's lair is entered from within the Wilderness, his lair itself is not part of the Wilderness, so players cannot attack each other in his lair. The lair is a multi-combat area.

Getting there
Warning: The entrance to the King Black Dragon Lair (aka KBD Lair) is located in the Wilderness; watch out for player killers!
Note: After climbing down the ladder near the lesser demons, players must pull a lever surrounded by poisonous spiders to access the lair. The lever does not work while you are teleblocked.
Type ::44s, or open the Teleport interface and choose Monsters → King Black Dragon (same spot). Run east and climb down the ladder, then pull the lever.
The burning amulet(PKP Shop) teleports the player to the lava maze just south-east of the fenced area containing the entrance to the lair. This is the fastest and most reliable method of getting there.
Wilderness Obelisks can be used, but be wary that using them will make encountering high-level monsters or PKers more likely. Players who have high elo can choose the obelisk they wish to teleport to, namely the obelisk closest to the lair at level 44 Wilderness.
Fight overview
In addition to his damaging attacks, the King Black Dragon can also poison the player and reduce the player's stats. It is strongly recommended to bring anti-poison (Antidote++ is preferred) and stat-restoring potions such as super restores.
His dragonfire is significantly stronger than normal dragonfire, with a max hit of 65 with no protection. An anti-dragon shield, dragonfire shield or dragonfire ward, or Protect from Magic, lowers the max hit to 13 (they do not stack). Antifire potions do not lower it. Because the max damage is so high, the player should always have one of these shields equipped.
In addition to his regular (red) dragonfire, the King Black Dragon has three coloured breath attacks: Poison (green), Freeze (white) and Shock (blue). They deal the same damage as his regular dragonfire, and the same protection works against them. When a coloured breath deals damage, there is a 1 in 11 chance of an extra effect: green poisons you (starting at 6 damage), white freezes you for 6 seconds, and blue lowers your Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged and Magic by 2.
He only uses his melee attack (max hit 25) when you are next to him, and he uses dragonfire from up to 9 tiles away. When several players fight him, he keeps switching targets between them.
Setups
These setups come from what players wear when they kill the King Black Dragon. Each tab shows the gear most players use at that price, what it costs, and how long a solo kill usually takes with it. Prices are in PK points (PKP) at today's in-game prices, and spawnable items are free to spawn. An anti-dragon shield or Protect from Magic cuts his dragonfire to a fifth, so you do not need antifire potions.
