In spite of its title, there are absolutely no references to scorpions in this episode, nor does it take place at night.
JC transforms as a panther (twice, but only once on-camera) and a parrot (transformation completed off-screen).
JC keeps a camel inside the glass partition, downstairs in his apartment.
