pandiculation

(noun) yawning and stretching as when first waking up

The dragon moved again. It snorted and coughed, incinerating a patch of shrubbery, opened its eyes and blinked a few times. From behind the tree line, Harko watched with fascination as it stretched first one wing, then the other, lapsing into an extended pandiculation routine that reminded of nothing so much as his cat waking from a nap.
