Why is it wrong to give the size this way to the Dragon class?

def init(self, **kwarges): sel.size = kwarges.get('size', 0)

You have two typos.

def init(self, **kwargs):
 self.size = kwargs.get('size', 0)

kwarges is spelt kwargs and sel.size should be self.size.

For the challenge you are doing you don't need a solution like this.

Here's mine

from monster import Monster


class Dragon(Monster):
  size = # any integer

Also, If you need to instantiate your object with initial values then you need to use init def init(self, **kwargs): self.size = kwargs.get('size', 0)
