I agree on that Giant sea scorpion monster being the asexual counterpart (I like the concept of monsters working together in a totally new way).

However, I think the new giant one is related somehow to the little ones (note the yellow fins the little ones have that the giant has now on his arms). Why it no longer has that horn-like growth is just simply because it doesn't need help to break through the ice (or it can always just create the Ice horn if needed). Then again, there are alot of dissimilarities, and we won't know until someone from capcom (or someone owning the game) lets us know.
