Description

My spiders are hungry and agitated! They haven't eaten for days and are starting to sample our human captives. We can't have that. We need those humans for use in the Sludge Fields.

I want you to take one of my hungry mine spiders out and feed it murlocs from the Western Strand, south of here. Whatever you kill, it'll eat! The more the better!

STILL a bit buggy the better part of a decade later... While your spider doesn't need to get the killing blow, it does appear to have to attack the murloc. One of the spider's attacks looks like a shadowbolt-type thing, and sometimes I would kill the murlocs before it got a cast off if I wasn't careful. This could account for the kills it didn't eat before I started paying closer attention.
Just keep an eye on the spider and make sure it gets a couple of attacks in and you should be good to go.

I don't know about anyone else, but this quest was a bit buggy for me. My spider wouldn't eat certain murlocs, even if I stood right next to it. And yes, I killed them myself, your spider won't eat other peoples murlocs.

If any hunters are having issues with this quest like I did, dismiss your pet first. For some reason, the spider will only sometimes eat the corpses if your pet is out.
