Description
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. Maybe he'll have some idea what makes this one so special.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- I Think She's Hungry
It looks like your young raptor is hungry. If you're looking to keep her, why don't you find something for her to eat? The lashtail often attack the camp of the Murkgill murlocs, just to our north.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Nose for This Sort of Thing
<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.
