During all three of my battles, I noticed there were always 2 critters or 1 critter/1 aquatic along with the [npc=97559].

Essentially, this is what my setup looked like:

[npc=115786] (1,1,2)
[npc=68662] (1,1,1)
Leveling pet (The one I used was level 23)

1. Open with Sharptalon Hacthling, then [pet-ability=1772]
2. [pet-ability=1773]. Spring Strider should die.
3. Switch to leveling pet for 1 round
4. Switch to Chrominius
5. [pet-ability=362], then [pet-ability=110] or [pet-ability=802] until both critters are dead.

If you happen to get another aquatic, then just swap in your [npc=115786].

For this quest you need to head to where the it tells you (around 47, 70 in Val'Sharah) and win 3 pet battles against the Spring Striders in the area.

Note: Your Sharptalon Hatchling doesn't need to do any damage in battle, but it must actually be on your team to get credit.

This is the mount awarded for completing the last Quest: [item=137580]

Here's the complete Questline:

You get one Quest every day but the date I'm posting this(Patch 7.1 Build 22989) it is still possible to get the next quest on a different character. So say you complete the quest on your druid you can still get the next quest from the same pet on any of your other characters.

For the quest that require you to complete World Quests you need have to have your pet out(and in your team for pet battle WQs), for the quests that only require you to defeat certain pets you don't need your pet out, it only has to fight and survive.

Dungeon and Raid quests can be completed on any difficulty.

Description

<Your sharptalon hatchling seems to get agitated when you are near other critters, especially the spring striders of Val'sharah. It fluffs up its plumage and scratches the ground whenever one is nearby. It appears to have a primal need for predation.> <It seems you will need to take your falcosaur out hunting.>
