“Draco’’, the Dragon. Makes sense. I wouldn't want to wake up a black hole. Might p!ss it off.

How did they know it was sleeping? Did it have a “Do not disturb “ sign out?

The headline and the artist’s impression try to give the impression that black holes are magic. They are just a collection of matter so dense that photons can’t escape from the gravity.
There’s no magic wormhole leading to another place. Just a big black object that collects other objects and grows.

The majority of supermassive black holes are dormant, meaning they are not actively consuming matter.
Tosh, after reading this statement I wonder about the
authors.
Black holes are never dormant. They may clear the space
around themselves, but the gravity never stops.
