You have to kill Jinikki the Puncturer to get a [item=128690].
Coordinates: 52.8, 87.6 - Val'sharah, Lunarwing Shallows,
Flight point: Lorlathil - [npc=93447]
Quest: Adopting the Adorable
Pet: [item=128690] --> [npc=96649]
- if you start from "Lorlathil", follow the road to the south until you are close to the water. Then turn right and goes to the "Lunarwing Shallows" to the last corner, you will see a cave. Inside the cave you will find a dead [npc=93318] and two [npc=93319]. A little [npc=93677] is alone and want to come with you. Talk to him and save him from the attack of Malicious Sprite and Jinikki the Puncturer. After fighting you can complete the quest Adopting the Adorable and take him with you.
I show you the way to [npc=93677] in this Video: https://youtu.be/c-4HiidqKF4
This may have changed. I got the quest Thieving Thistleleaf from Saylanna Riverbeast under the pavilion. Also killed Jinikki the Puncturer but just got the Ashmaw Cub for the event.
