User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Theory... Blog/@comment-5043481-20130308111402

I have a theory regarding the Purple R.Ludroth. (don't know why they diddn't call it that - it fits the 16 character limit exactly with no spelling errors).

I believe that if the Purple Ludroth went in water, it would was all the poison out of it's sponge. For this reason it avoids being submerged unlike the yellow variaty. I think the poision could be produced by sweat gland like structures oozing poison into it's sponge.

Discuss.
