Question of class

[morngrym]

well I have this class which I call Critter and I use it to load a critter with with

Critter* Mobs;
Mobs=new Critter;

I want to try make another class (ex rat, goblin, skeleton) that uses ll the critter variables and functions so that I can still use my existing code when search through my critters which is
for (int I = 0; I < 10; ++I)
{Mobs[I].attack();

I am thinking that I could maybe create another class but I am not sure how I load up the new information into critters class

some help would be appreciated

 Critter* Mobs;
Mobs=new Critter[10];

// buncha code
for (int I = 0; I < 10; ++I)
{Mobs[I].attack();
}

take a look at "inheritance"
