You've asked this question already... but we can say why, because we don't have all the code ( what's in the "gragnack" variable? ), neither than the output ( "weird things" isn't precise )... If you want to print/output the word "gragnack" and not the content of a variable named "gragnack", you need to quote him: print("gragnack")

you can define the __str__ method to print what you want. For instance, you might want to do: def __str__(self): return f'Hitpoints: {self.hitpoints}, Health: {self.health}' using Python 3.6 f-strings (formatted strings)
