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

The Eldwurms' Roost
Auroth mentions a place where the Eldwurms congregate to roost. This roost is a vantage point, since Auroth was able to see the Ancients' battlefield from this roost.

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.

The Elder Myth
The Elder Myth is, well, an ancient myth. Not much is said about its contents. It has something to do with Auroth for some reason. The only thing currently known about the Elder Myth is that if one will petition two dragons for their thoughts on it, it may result in receiving five replies.

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.

Heroes
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. Auroth the is yet another Eldwurm, but she is actually the last Eldwurm left, not counting Slyrak who partially exists in this world. As such, she's the last keeper of the Eldwurm's Edda and perhaps the oldest Eldwurm in existence.
 * 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.

Characters
It's implied that Vyxia is an eldwyrm because of her "grand dragon" title, a title that was also used to refer to another dragon of large proportions who's implied to be Slyrak himself, judging by the evidence. Seeing how all that remains of Vyxia is a sword in Sir Davion's possession that's made from her scales, teeth, and fiery blood, she is most likely dead.

Description
Its name implies that it was a wyvern covered in red scales, plus it was said be an ancient specimen.

According to the helm and the shield that captured its likeness, the Crimson Wyvern has quite a unique visage amongst Dragons. Having a very short snout, its upper lip is lined with a row of overlapping vertical folds of pointy scales. It has two blank yellow eyes in the shape of a thin vesica piscis or a mandorla that were slanted. Above what appears to be the nose is a crest of overlapping scales that project upward. Apparently, it also has a pair of pointed ears, although its "ears" might be a bunch of scales or something else. Lastly, it has a pointed chin.

The rest of its body remains unseen, which is crucial in determining whether it was truly a wyvern or not. Still, a hint of its bodily features are found in the stuff forged from its remains.

Running along its back were protective interlocking scales that sat above its spine. It also had an unknown amount of sharp talons.
