I am seeing an error:

Incomplete type 'Creature' named in nested name specifier.

when I try to define creature in the loop here:

    for (int row = 0; row < ROWS; ++row)
    {
        for (int col = 0; col < COLUMNS; ++col)
        {
            Creature* creature = Creature::create();
            
            creature->setAnchorPoint(Vec2(0.0f, 0.0f));
            creature->setPosition(cellWidth *  float(col), cellHeight * float(row));
            
            gridSprite->addChild(creature);
            
            gridArray.pushBack(creature);
        }
    }

on the line

Creature* creature = Creature::create();

Does this need to be defined in the .hpp file for this class? I know that the version I am using is the most recent but if you could maybe help me clue in why I am seeing this error in the editor or point me in the right direction. I am new to c++ and still learning the rules
