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.

Piecula loves Pi Day.  Unfortunately, she is only able to experience it at night.  She has, however, determined that this is the best time for pie snatching on Pi Day.  She is able to sneak up on all the bakery shops before sunrise and steal the still warm pies.  She also can steal the leftover pies at the end of Pi Day.  Bakers have learned to dread the recitation of pi that always precedes her appearance to steal the pies.
