Re.: Discord, I've always been a fan of the idea that he has 'orange-purple' morality. He's so alien that he doesn't think like a pony and doesn't share a pony's moral or ethical framework. He doesn't even understand what a pony would consider 'good' or 'evil' only be able to act in a way that he empirically knows will please one particuarly pony (Fluttershy).

In such a context, his being the villain wouldn't be 'becoming evil again', it would be a scorpion being a scorpion - a draconequus acting according to his nature. He might even genuinely not understand why this upsets Fluttershy and be a bit annoyed at her asking him to stop his fun.
