Quick tip if you are doing this along with The Source of Power, if you have an aoe producing attack, grab the larvae in the area first as they die, before you kill the other bugs for their brains. You can also pick them up mounted

Description
How did the silithid survive the blade of Sargeras? I'm perplexed! I've never encountered a species that can adapt to changes in the environment as quickly as the silithid can. The larvae, or broodlings as they are often called, can evolve into a variety of silithid creature types based on the needs of the hive. Is it the hive mind that signals the evolutionary development of the larvae, or is some environmental factor at play? Science must find the answer!
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.
- The Source of Power
The silithid are all riled up and stronger than ever! My guess is that they are feeding off of some kind of power beneath the ground. Probably near the blade of Sargeras! I've been ordered to study the effects that this mysterious power is having on the sillithid.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Twilight Survivor
Silithus used to be overrun with members of the Twilight's Hammer. The cult was presumed to be exterminated, but it has always survived in the shadows. Their numbers have dwindled, but the cult remains no less fanatical than at their peak.
