from monster import Monster
otherwise you would need to use
class Dragon(monster.Monster):
for it to work, but the problem is asking for the above example where you use the from monster import Monster statement.

15,641 PointsI just tested it in the code challenge and they will actually both work. So you can choose whichever you prefer.

15,641 PointsJust to clarify, here would be either code you could use:
This is because the first import statement is importing the entire monster file so you need to then specify that you want the Monster class from the monster.py file. If you use the from monster import Monster, then you are just importing the Monster class and can refer to it just as Monster.
