It's probably a safe assumption that this level of power is something only the Great Wyrms are capable of (Tiamat if she were free, Hraesvelgr, and so on). It's worth remembering that Thordan and his group of betrayers didn't dine on any old dragon eyes; they picked one of the great ones. We also never see any dragons do anything like taking a new form/body for themselves after apparently being dead aside from Midgardsormr and our friend Nidhogg.
