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.

This little dragon is the waiter at a famous bar that serves only vegetables, drinks and fruit. She tried working at other places, but she ended up sucking all of the blood out of the meat. She is paid in, well, meat. The owners of the bar kept a secret supply of meat to give her.
