The Eldwurms are a race of old, wise, and powerful dragons in the lore of Dota 2.

Description
The Eldwurms are defined by their age and knowledge rather than their common physical characteristics since it seems that any species of Dragon can be an Eldwurm if they fulfill the requirements of being old and wise. Hence, they are an intellectual class of dragons rather than a species or strain of dragon.

The Eldwurm Eddas
Written by not just one Eldwurm but any of them, the somewhat open-ended Eldwurm Eddas (a.k.a. Eldwurm's Edda, Eldwurms' sagas, etc.) is a massive poem, like an edda or saga, that recounts the colorful history of the Eldwurms, as well as any other wonders and terrors of the world that its authors might chronicle.

Resisting Death
In their search for knowledge, ancient eldwurms have learned techniques for staving off death itself.

Notable Eldwurms
It would seem that most of the Eldwurms are dead, according to most of the responses that mention them.

Slyrak is a massive and powerful Eldwurm who possesses many centuries of wisdom. He is best known for transferring his strength and wisdom to this, the latter of which has been merged with Sir Davion's valor alongside the other Eldwurms' wisdom, both of which are now the source of his nobility. Vyxia is heavily implied to be an Eldwurm because of her "grand dragon" title. "Grand dragon" was also used to refer to a massive dragon who's implied to be Slyrak himself.
 * Davion (and maybe Slyrak) wishes to those that he has slain to be ushered to their final resting place by the Eldwurms.
 * A somewhat similar fate shall happen to him when he dies, as he joins the Eldwurms in death, implying that these sage dragons have already crossed the veil long ago.
 * During battle, Davion (and maybe Slyrak) will invoke or swear upon the "honor of the ancients". It's uncertain if these "ancients" refer to the Eldwurms or something else.
