Create class Dragon

What am I missing here? All I get is "Bummer! Try again".

from monster import Monster

class Dragon(Monster):
  def __init__(self, size):
    self.size = size

Hi Aaron,

I think all you need to do inside the class is give it a size attribute. Something like size = 10. You don't have to override the init method.

Yes, I made it more difficult than it needed to be. Didn't think they would dumb it down so much. Thanks for your quick reply.
