The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
If you lose the raptor, there is a raptor shell in your pack which will summon it.
Just walk/ride around the area. The raptor will whistle, run to a dig location and toss you a fetish. You probably will only have to move a couple times as he'll (she'll?) run to the next site if it's close enough.

Description
<The skull speaks to you.> I live? No, I do not... but I can. That raptor you have is wise to have found my skull among what must have been so many. In life, I was strong, powerful, a lord among trolls. With your help, I can be a lord once more. The Bloodscalps at Zuuldaia hoard magical fetishes that can help me return. They hide these artifacts under the sand. Use your hatchling to find these artifacts, {name}... then throw them in the pot.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Favored Skull
Your pet raptor seems to have found a new toy: a skull, from a nearby troll skull pile. What sets this skull apart from the rest is beyond you, but for some reason, she won't put it down. Nimboya at Grom'gol Base Camp seems to be somewhat of a skull expert, judging by the skull piles he keeps.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Who's a Big Troll?
<The skull speaks once more.> My soul is ready, but my body is not. The Bloodscalps desecrated my old body long ago. The horrors that they inflicted upon me... my spirit watched on while they tore my body apart and, and... I can't go on. Their chief, Gan'zulah, presided over the gruesome acts.
