There are other differences, though (at least in 3rd, I just fought one for the first time). He has much faster recovery after attacks (say, the R. Ludroth would stop and scream after shooting water a lot, P. never does really), and it has two completely new attacks. It's range with the poison shots is a lot better too--you have to be careful if you think you're safe at the side of it's head, I kept getting hit trying to triple charge because I looked out of range and nooope.
