Mine has followed me all the way to Stormwind and on to Hellfire Peninsula. I'm glad I'm not playing a rogue -- this guy would be the end of all stealth...!

Edit: Okay, after Hellfire I went through Nagrand, Terokkar, and eventually back to Northrend, with the little orphan following faithfully all the way. Changing continents, logging off and on, signing off for hours at a time -- nothing seemed to discourage him.

However, this morning he died, all on his own, while I was questing. He lasted me about 14 real time hours or more.

Edited again: He's ba-a-ack. It's a miracle -- he's following me again, even after I watched him die...!

Edited yet again: Seriously, this little elephant zombie is stalking me...

Rewards3,100 XP

Description

Although you have acted valiantly in freeing the trapped calves, many of them will still die. You see, without a caretaker, these calves must fend for themselves in the wild. But there is a way! Hope yet remains! North of here in the mammoth fields, bordering the Scalding Pools, you will find Khu'nok the Behemoth: a mammoth as wise as he is ancient. Take this mammoth orphan and present it to Khu'nok. He will know what to do.

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.
