When you call a class this way Monster you're not creating the object. That's why you're getting an error when you call the battlecry method.
Don't forget the () when creating an object and you're good to go ;)

3,240 PointsSo now my question is that after putting the " () 's" it say its missing the 4 required part, which makes sense but in the video when Kenneth ran it jubjub = Monster() , then jubjub.battlecry() and he got the result of ROAR. Why'd he'd not have to fulfill the 4 positional arguments?
