I actually like that he has no music, I take that as an advantage when fighting him along with another monster on the field. With music you will have trouble hearing your surroundings and any big monster coming in, with none you can hear the nature around you and be able to realize when something big comes into the battle unnoticed.

This can acutually be applied to any encounters though.
