TheWoWDBVery easy quest.
Polymorph the naga, and immediately run up to them. The naga will split in to anywhere from 2-5 clones. A single arcane explosion or frost nova is enough to take them all out.
Make sure you have quick reflexes as the clones run away quick, and if you're not fast you wont get all of them. Keep moving on till you kill 50 of the clones. It doesn't matter if you kill 1 or 5 clones that spawn. There is no limit.

If you happen to have Polymorph - Turtle, do not use it for this quest. The naga never split off into turtle clones. Just use your regular sheepy polymorph.

Description
My research has revealed a unique purpose for the prismatic shell. Carry the shell and cast your polymorph spell on the Spitelash in Azshara. If you wait a few moments, the chaotic aura of the shell will cause them to split into several smaller clones for a few moments. Kill these clones as quickly as possible, and the shell will collect their essence. When the shell is full, return it to me.
