Lirrak (also known as the Mother of Oceans and Mother of Storms) is the element of water, the spirit and the sum of all water dragons, and one of the eight Pillars of Creation, exclusive to the series of Dota: Dragon's Blood.

Personality and Mannerisms

 * Like her fellow Eldwurms, Lirrak often calls lesser creatures as "mice" regardless of their power. It seems that this is not arrogance so much as her knowing what she really is and her reminding those who oppose her about that, for Lirrak's "arrogance" is well-earned with her place in all of existence. But like all forms of arrogance, it may be humbled by someone greater, case in point the Invoker.

The Thunder
All dragons, from the cosmic Eldwurms themselves to their flesh illusions, are one. They may have distinctions between each other such as their unique identity, but the lines that differentiate themselves from each other are a bit fuzzy because they all have something in common. Just like how all dragons in the physical realm are merely parts of the whole that are their respective elemental or fundamental Eldwurms, the Pillars of Creation are merely parts that form a greater whole—an all-encompassing entity known as the Worldwyrm.

When the current water eldwurm that Lirrak inhabits goes to sleep, she enters the dream roost with the other Pillars of Creation who may be asleep like she is. In this dream, she sings together with the rest of the Thunder, an expression of themselves to each other through speech and music. All dragons and their cousins—ranging from their flesh illusions to the Eldwurms—hear this song.

Lesser dragons can recognize flesh illusions that are vessels of an Eldwurm's soul. For example, a bunch of air wyrmlings sensed Slyrak within Davion, causing them to flee from him.

Water Dragons
Water dragons are merely parts of the whole that is Lirrak's vast embodiment. They are the physical manifestations of her vast embodiment in the material plane, a projection of herself into our material universe, proof of her higher existence to us in the lower plane of physical matter. These water dragons are just a fraction of her being—they are her, and she is them.

But not all water dragons have "her" within them. Only one water dragon at a time, and only the oldest water dragon, may have the soul of Lirrak herself. The rest of her water dragons have no soul or consciousness of their own—the source of their individuality—hence they are not creatures who are distinct from Lirrak's being. A water dragon may only gain a bit of that individuality when she passes into them. With no Lirrak within them, they are simply just empty sacks made of meat, bone, and scales. No will of their own but Lirrak's who controls their every move from birth to death and no intelligible voice of their own at all.

If it may seem confusing, think of Lirrak and her water dragons as a sentient creature and its body parts, respectively. Only Lirrak is self-aware, while water dragons are just parts of her being. Like fingers of a human body, water dragons are not aware of themselves as a finger is not aware of itself. Fingers don't have a mind of their own. They only move because the mind that they are linked to tells them to move. Only the creature that the finger belongs to is aware of its being, including said finger that belongs to it.

That being said, since water dragons are just extensions of her being, she can bend them to her will. Terrorblade demonstrates this ability when he used the captured spirits of Lirrak and Uldorak to command a thunder of earth wyrmlings and water wyrmlings to siege Dragon Hold and slaughter the Dragon Knights.

Dragon Clan
The obscure Dragon Clan consists of nondragons who carry draconic traits in their blood, inheriting their natural talents and powers. The true nature of all dragons implies that the members of Dragon Clan are not only related to them by blood, but they are also extensions of their respective Eldwurm's soul.

is one of the known members of Dragon Clan. She manifests some features of a water dragon, which may be the new source of her ice powers in this series.

Hierarchy
Gods and goddesses, divinities, deities, whatever names one might have for them, are very powerful in their own right. But even gods are subordinate to the eight Pillars of Creation. No mere empty boast, the Eldwurms are the ones who support and sustain the existence of the domains of both gods and demons.

Transcendent though they may be, the only power that they look up to is the Worldwyrm.

Enemies
All Eldwurms seem to be aware of the mice known as Dragon Knights, who slay dragons and fashion equipment from their remains.

Consciousness, the dragon song, and whatnot
Indrak and the Thunder tapped into Davion's memories.

Elemental Powers
Truly embodying water itself in all of its states, Lirrak expresses this power in our physical plane through the oldest dragons of her type, using her ability to manipulate all states of water including its solid form and gaseous form. She isn't called the Mother of Oceans and Storms for nothing.

Through the breath of a powerful Water Eldwurm, Lirrak's cool exhalation can unleash a massive path of ice spikes. This frigid breath of her lesser water dragons such as water wyrmlings and Auroth can freeze an entire human body into brittle ice and create walls of ice big enough to entomb multiple water wyrmlings in flight, respectively. Lirrak is much more powerful than these two instances plus they technically belong to Her, hence she should have a more potent version of these abilities.

It would appear that she also has powers over the movement of water. This was first shown when the waters of her caldera lake home whirled and parted to reveal herself and the lakebed. At first, it may look like the Wex orb that Invoker threw into the waters was the one stirring the lake, but given that the water was still parted when the Wex orb was broken, this should be Lirrak's doing.

Her captured spirit not only granted Terrorblade the power to bend lesser water dragons to his will, but also gave him access to her omnipotence over the element of water. With her spirit in hand, it is implied that he used her to appear as a rainstorm to the Invoker and accumulate numerous raindrops to form a large disc of water that's suspended in the air, which served as a reflective surface that he used to talk to the sage.

Given the fact that Rylai manifests some features of a water dragon, it's possible that Lirrak has her unseen but implied powers over ice.
