The Hunter's "throws his fish at you" has got to be the best "run away in fear!" message ever. And using a fish as a weapon. It must be a.. swordfish.

The Hunters/Oracles are color coded to tell them apart;
Green or Blue - Oracles
Brown or Purple - Hunters

I found the Coldlight Oracles fairly easily, but I had to use /target coldlight hunter to find the hunters. They blend in well with the scenery. The Oracles tend to be right on the ground. The hunters tend to be up a little higher. All around 46,56 to 46,66 in the pinkish area on the map.

Description

Oh yeah! I was supposed to put together a report! I'd almost forgotten! Looks like mostly harmless wildlife around here... 'cept for those blasted eels... and a few murlocs. Cap'n will be more interested in the murlocs, I think. Go engage a few of 'em in combat and see what kinda moves they got. From what I've seen, the big ones hunt for fish in the kelp, and the little ones practice some kind o' magic or another... but that's all I know.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A LureAbyssal Depths · Level 30-35

    Stick this device on your head, then swim through the kelp and coral along the canyon's edge. There should be all kinds of little fish in there that find your new antenna irresistible. When we return to Darkbreak Cove, we'll have armfuls of fish for everyone!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Enormous Eel EggAbyssal Depths · Level 30-35

    <This appears to be an egg from one of the devious great-eels that float up above the canyon. You wonder whether or not Humphrey might be interested in something like this.>
