The declaration of Monster_Name is wrong.
unsigned char Monster_Name[];
or
unsigned char *Monster_Name;
And   it's   better   to   directly  initialize  Monster_Name  in  its
declaration:
unsigned char Monster_Name[] = "Bear";
And  since  the  characters  accessed  through   Monster_Name   aren't
modified, it's better to declare them to be constant:
const unsigned char Monster_Name[] = "Bear";
SD> My next question is how do you use dos commands in C++.  I mean if I

You should use a library for this purpose.
SD> My last question is this.  How do you save to a seperate file (name
SD> age, other information), and how do you retrieve this information in
SD> program?
Use file streams. For saving a number, use something like:
const int i = 42; 
ofstream os("outfile.txt");
os << i;
For reading it:
int i; 
ifstream is("outfile.txt");
is >> i;
