(45,29) for Teremoth. They are neutral, so they won't agro you until atacked. (44,18) for Vicious Teremoth. They are aggresive. Teremoths cast an annoying magic that pacifies to, making you unnable to atack. Lvl 63 mobs look to have higher drop rate, as iheijoushin has previously posted

Only killed these for this particular quest.
Drop rate from Vicious Teromoths

Warning, both these creatures pacify, silence and prevent attacks. Not so much fun for clothwearers.
It may help to pull the moths away from the ruins, as once out of them you lose the debuff aura.

Description

Something strange has changed the teromoths of the thicket. Where once there was a diversity of life in there, now only the teromoths remain. And while before they were at peace, now they are agitated and will not hesitate to attack you should you get close. I need to compare the vicious ones to the normal. Collect for me a number of samples from both. You'll find the unaffected teromoths both to the south and the north. I'm certain this is related to whatever killed all of the druids.

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.

Kill the Shadow Council!Terokkar Forest · Level 15-30
What! Those guys are Shadow Council?! <name>, you have to go back in there and waste them! I want you to take out their leader and as many of their executioners and summoners as you can. After you're done with that, report back to Advisor Faila at Stonebreaker Hold. Good luck, <class>!
