I only had one - my Scuddly was under Aura of Command - followed me around as a faithful companion, so I shut my eyes, when she had fun with rabbits or chicken. I kept her as a pet... the only thing I had to criticize about her design was this: I couldn't dress her up with a pink ribbon.

Scuddly deprived me of XP points, when she landed the last killing blow, but I didn't mind, as she did the main work. Alas... the Tree killed her and I swore, never to take another scorpion - to keep her as unique in my memory.
Without our bond, due to Aura of Command, I would have received full XP, but our relationship would have been a very short one.
