I just went in as the player due to some bug that when the mob got close to me in Murky form, it ported me back to the start. In Normal mode.
So I simply returned to player form and killed the NPC that way.
Quest complete.

Seems to be currently impossible in Heroic world tier when Clawdayshus is buffed. The spawned adds one-shot me with their fireballs for 40k while Murky only has 12k health.
Went to Normal world tier and had no issues.

Requires:
Oh, The Clawdacity! Starts at King Mrgl-Mrgl, short questline. Clawdacity may be a prereq for opening the next two WQs.
Claw For Alarm! is a WQ in Suramar, on the east side near where the pylon WQ is at. 82,54.4 Is the egg you must locate. Turns you into a murloc, kill Naga in the area for assault on the Sashj'tar ruins, kill Sashj'tar Culinarian.
Now Thats's Just Clawful! is a WQ in Stormheim, egg is at 55.4,26.1. Kill 10 Rockclaw Clamcrushers, kill Clawspishus at 61.4,20.4.
As of writing this all objectives of the achievement are completed but I have not been awarded the achievement itself. I sent an alt over to do Clawdactiy, since my main had finished it prior to the patch, but after I finished it I noticed that the two WQs were not available.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Murlocs: The Next GenerationHighmountain · Level 10-45
The time has come! Murky and his followers need a place to hide out and train--away from the mature murlocs--so that they can prepare to take over in the future. There's a nice cave not too far away... only problem is that it's filled with makrura. This would be a good base for the tadpoles.
