If you lose Kovok I found leaving The Briny Muck area and coming back made him reappear. Just head over to the flight master and once you see the area change, head back and he's there again.

Another quest with an annoyingly low drop rate. :(
Kovok has to be one of the most annoying NPCs in the game - THE NOISE. IT HURTS.

What to do
Description
After years of working with the Kunchong I developed a theory; raising one from infancy would strengthen the bond and therefore strengthen the sonic connection. I had just begun training Kovok when I was chosen for encasement. He is still very young and will need diligent training to reach his full potential. I'm entrusting Kovok to you, but be warned; if any harm comes to him your life is forfeit. First, you must feed him to gain his trust. The turtles in the area should be suitable for this.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reunited
You look at me and see I am no great warrior. Why was I chosen to be a Paragon? Not all weapons can be seen, Wakener. One should not judge by appearance alone. Before I explain further, I need to know that you are trustworthy. Something precious to me was hidden at the time of my preservation.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Kunchong Whisperer
To really connect with Kovok you need to challenge him mentally and physically. You must respect his strength and intelligence; only then will he allow you to really train him. The muckscale tribe may provide an adequate test of his abilities and with you there he shouldn't be in danger.
