We're adding a new method to every instance when a Monster is created. Use a prototype instead for the takeDamage method

It says that Monster is not a function, have checked other responses to this question didnt help :/

monster.js 
function Monster(name) {
  this.name = name;
  this.health = 100;
  this.Monster.prototype = function(){
    this.health--;
  }
}

Ricard,

Implement the prototype apart from Monster.

function Monster(name) {
  this.name = name;
  this.health = 100;
  }

Monster.prototype.takeDamage = function(){
    this.health--;
  }
