TheWoWDBThis quest, like so many others, is a menace, but can be made less so by keeping the following in mind:
• The Helboar can be found around 26,40 in a large group. Watch out for the Fel Reaver
• Pairing these quests: Helboar, The Other White Meat and Demonic Contamination spares the lives of about a thousand additional Helboars.

Description
Welcome to the Cenarion Post, {class}. We don't often get company out here, but I'm grateful for the visit. My work with the creatures of this desolate land requires me to travel to many remote places. The Cenarion Expedition has dispatched me to study some of the most dangerous wildlife in Outland, and I've made a startling discovery. While many creatures here have already undergone radical changes, they continue to mutate. I'm collecting blood samples to document the changes, and any help would be welcome.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An Ambitious Plan
The blood elves epitomize the irresponsible use of magic, <class>. They do not control magical energy. Rather, they are slaves to it and will suffer nothing to stand between them and their addiction. They consume the energies of Outland's voidwalkers to power their demonic magics.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Testing the Antidote
I think there's something we can use in the blood as the base of an antidote. Don't look at me like I've lost my mind! It's a common theme in nature. Often, the cure for something can be derived from the toxin itself. That's just what I aim to do.
