First we kill a bunch of adults for their scales. Then we terrify the orphans. We're like cartoon villains.

"Frightened Tadpole: This tadpole has been frightened by an invader. After 3 applications, it will collapse in fear."

This seemed to only work when said Murloc obtained 3 stacks of the fear, and collapsed.
This quest was not specific enough, to the point that I did not even realize that the Murlocs gained stacks of it.
It only said to fear them. Running up to them and fearing them once to scatter, should have counted as a fear.
In my opinion, the text should be changed to say "collapsed" instead of "feared".

StorylineTirisfal Glades, step 22 of 36

Rewards10g 50s, 3,100 XP

Description

It seems that Jerrod has you hunting the murlocs to the north. That's good... we can use their parts for our poisons. I get a little worried sometimes, though... The Vile Fin spawning grounds are not far off Tirisfal's northern coast, so you'll probably notice several tadpoles among the adults on the shore. If these impressionable young murlocs were to seek revenge against us... that could ruin us. Go chase them, and show them that the Forsaken and the Horde are not to be trifled with.

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Maggot EyeTirisfal Glades · Level 1-30
Maggot Eye is a foul beast, even by gnoll standards. He leads a band of renegade gnolls through the land, tearing up the glades and stealing whatever corpses he can find along the way. Those are our corpses! We had plans for those! Maggot Eye resides just up the path from us. Show him no mercy.
