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.

Lilith is strange for a Vampire dragon hatchling; she loves to socialize with other hatchlings, she likes pretty things like flowers and scales, and she even tries to go out in the sun at times. Every time she does, however, her skin burns and she gets a nauseous feeling in her stomach. Lilith is not terribly bright and continues to try venturing out in the sun even though she suffers greatly for it.
