that's just how variants work. They're basically the same exact monster, but get enough new features and/or attacks to change the fight up just enough to make him (feel) more difficult

And we already pointed some differences out:


 * he's slow, but REALLY powerful to make up for that lack of speed (most of the time when Mimusu got hit he lost 70-80% of his HP)


 * his slime build up a lot faster and additionally, the slime on his body builds up when you hit him enough, something that can and will fuck you up royally, if you're not expecting or forgaetting about it blowing up


 * andthe attacks, that cover a wider area are smaller compared to the normal Brachy, but - again- a lot more devastating.
