TheWoWDBThis begins one of the most eerie and, for me, disturbing quest lines in Draenor.

I have had the quest for a while now and hadn't turned it in. My character is level 100 now. I finally went to the spot in Crimson Fen where the yellow question mark is showing on the map and on the small minimap but the NPC is no where to be found. I tried to do a reload ui also, but still he isn't showing. Anyone else having this issue?

Description
This pod is similar to the ones growing on or near the bodies around here, except this one is pulsating weirdly. This is something Khaano would be interested in.

Where this quest fits
After this quest
Taken from a quest that requires this one.
- Mercy for the Living
You can see that the dead were the lucky ones. Those that live wander about attacking anything not infected with these vile spores. I cannot bring myself to slay them, but if you could bring mercy to those poor people I would be very grateful.
- The Secret of the Fungus
I'm beginning to sense a strong... connection... between the fungus and the creatures that inhabit it. There are certain mushrooms that are stronger than others. I believe if I had some samples of these I could use them, track the source of this foul fungus and... deal with it.
