Agreed. When it's a real do or die situation, the Humakti are perfect. And I think you'd love to have them fighting alongside you in a pitched battle. In a "friendly" cattle raid or skirmish, though, they might just get, um, over enthusiastic.

And I'll bet the only welcome they have for them is several feet of bronze and a warrior's death. :)
