Absolutely 100% the grossest quest in the game.
Kill them and then collect the eggs off their back.

Bears are soulless beasts put upon this earth to torment us.Bears are GODLESS KILLING MACHINES!
This is disturbing on so many levels, though I have to wonder why it is deemed necessary to put the bears down when they are considered "soulless beasts". It seems more logical for them to just be killed off by the horrific infestation they have to live through.
Definitely not a quest for the squeamish. I felt sorry for the bears and destroyed eggs on carcasses that weren't my own kills ... This quest? Do not want.

Description
Bears are soulless beasts put upon this earth to torment us. Only through Forsaken ingenuity have we devised a way to make use of the bears so that they may serve some purpose! We use the bears at our spider farm as living egg feeders. Our spiders lay their eggs in the bear flesh and the eggs thrive off of the meat and blood of the beasts. After they have served their purpose the monsters must be put down. Travel southeast and kill the infested bears that have lived past their prime.
