TheWoWDBAm I the only person whose reaction to this entire quest chain of making a weird drug out of dead direhorns, going against the wishes of the trolls, and then feeding this cannibalistic goop to my baby was, "Uh, no." "No, I will not." "I absolutely will NOT do that!", in that order? I was frustrated that I HAD to in order to progress the quest line. Like, there was no, "To hell with that! I'm turning you in RIGHT NOW so we don't screw up relations with these allies we want just for your worthless moneygrubbing Gremlins 2-reject ways!" option. Being railroaded like this on something my character and I as a player would both absolutely object to is really offputting.

Just posting to say outright: Yes, your baby direhorn is alright after you feed him this horrifying goblin disaster.
For real. I came here just to make sure I wasn't going to somehow traumatize the little guy. Even the troll's requests to battle-harden it I felt uncomfortable with. How is putting an animal through constant fear going to make it confident? This quest started off so wholesome and then I felt like a garbage parent throughout. :(

Description
These trolls are missing a real opportunity here! They complain about not having enough beasts to go around, yet have they really tried to mass produce them? Nope! With my Direhorn Growth Hormone, they'll be able to fill these pens to overflowing! Sure, the overcrowding might lead to disease and excess waste issues, but I'm sure those are solvable. Ha ha ha this is gonna be great!
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.
- DGH: Now With Real Direhorn
...Listen, <name>. I need one more thing to finish making this supplement of mine. Direhorn Growth Hormone can't exactly be made without, you know, actual direhorn. But I floated the idea of harvesting a few of their beasts and all of a sudden I got a bunch of spears pointed at me.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- How to Train Your Direhorn
I have to get some of whatever you fed your baby! Wow! Now dat it's bigger, it is time to teach it to be a reliable battle companion. Let's see how it does against a tougher challenge, hmm? Talk to Kraal Master B'khor when you are ready to begin.
