It seems that some of the Galvanized Lurkers and Juvenile Lurkers don't drop ANY loot at all. I was very confused and thought the quest was bugged but no, some of the mobs just are totally empty. Fortunately the Galvanic Glands dropped super quick.
Edit: Typo
Despite what BTW Quests says, it unlocks after the Dark Revelation portion of the story quests.

What to do
Description
I am seeking my mentor, Foreman Arbauch. He is... missing. Under other circumstances, I would send for a search party from Gundargaz, but there is no time. I suspect he passed through here, but the only lead I have is DelGizmo. He wants the local fog beasts removed. Reluctance. But if he has seen Arbauch, I must learn what he knows. The lurkers to the south carry powerful Galvanic Glands. They have enough charge to disperse even the thickest fog. Retrieve some. Compensation assured.

Machine speakers have no love for fog beasts. Where there is fog, rust is sure to follow. Still, I'd prefer not to harm them. Arbauch always said it was bad luck. Take this device. The glands you collected should provide enough power to disperse the fog without hurting the fog beasts within.
