This hatchling appears to be... dead?

Perhaps not. It seems to be active during the night.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it typically marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

He is intensely loyal to Little Bite and will allow no disrespect towards her. Tiny Thing613 is his partner. Young Bite uses Tiny Thing- a pygmy dragon- to get to places he can't go or fit.
