"Shortly after, the beast dozed off"
Hola qué tal, quisiera saber la traducción de "dozed off" en esta frase al español, tengo entendido que "dozed" es dormido/a pero ando buscando otra opción ya que anteriormente se menciona y no quiero repetir. Si alguien sabe sería de mucha ayuda. Acá les dejo más contexto.

"While the dragon was asleep, the young man poisoned the bait to keep him dozed. The hungry beast woke up and devoured the succulent morsel. Shortly after, the beast dozed off "

Muchas gracias!

se murió

Explanation:
in spite of the many agrees (and correctly so with the literal definition of "doze off), I think it might mean that the dragon takes the poison and subsequently dies
