Finally made a Wowhead account just to make this comment
This is a throwback to the Mazzranache quest in classic Mulgore! If you deleted and re-created a million Tauren like I did then you recognized this quest immediately. Pretty cool easter egg, hopefully there's more like this.
For those who don't know, a tauren was attacked in the shoulder by a pink plainstrider that his grandfather had told him stories about. You end up needing to gather the same reagents as the Nergazurai quest: a heart, guzzard, femur, and scale
Maybe Mazzranache was separated from his flock in the Sundering? Lol

Blizzard.... Stop adding ridiculously cute animals and asking me to kill them and retrieve their hearts.
Poor Ottuks!
There's a whole bunch of aggressive ottuk to the south (that can't drop a heart) amongst the neutral ottuks (that can drop the heart).
I also had to kill 10 of the neutral (innocent+cute) ones before it even dropped...
and now I feel really crappy, as ottuks are ace! I always feel bad when I have to kill cute innocent creatures ingame that're just going about their day, living their life hurting no one... :( (not real, I know...)
(and no one seems to know how to tame them yet either...)
(UPDATE EDIT: they're tameable after getting Iskarra renown rep high enough and doing a little questline that super doesn't tug on one's heartstrings! :'( )I wouldn't have minded quite as much had the hostile ones attacked me and dropped a heart...
That said... 9 of them didn't have a heart at all... so maybe they're not quite as cute+innocent as I believe? :S
Also of note, this is a single solitary side quest, no follow up as far as I could see...
and everything else on the list required multiple kills too, before dropping their 1 singular required item..
And like the VLDL video a couple weeks back (mentioned in another comment), this was exactly the same... although surprisingly I didn't find any furniture inside any of them :P(2nd UPDATE: now that Midnight has launched with player housing... I'm actually able to find some furniture sometimes on (in?) corpses these days! :D ... but not these ones, probably... I haven't checked :P )

Description
My uncle told me many tales of his battle with a hornstrider named Nergazurai. He told me of its fuchsia scales weaving through the hills of the plains as it seeks its prey, its razor-sharp talons and venomous bite. While I was out hunting I saw the flash, but it was too late; it left me with a nasty bite in my shoulder. He was as terrible as my uncle described, but I came out alive. I need to clean the infection from his bite. Please, collect the reagents I need. Time is of the essence.
