TheWoWDB"Desert Fox" was a nickname given to Erwin Rommel, one of Germany's leading generals during the Second World War.
It seems that the Schnottz quests involve several Nazi references(The furrier, Gobbels, Blitzkreig! etc..) So it would be keeping with the theme of things.

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
I found him just below the "A" in "Cradle of the Ancients" on the map. He's not a hostile. Just look for a brown fox like the ones in Gilneas, with his name "Desert Fox" in green. He runs around so you have to chase him and right click on him to complete the quest.
There's an easy method to find him:
1. Create a macro "/target Desert Fox".
2. Fly around and use that macro. It shouldn't take long until he is targeted.
3. Usually he isn't easy to see due to all the trees and stuff around, even if you have him in your target.
4. So fly up into the air and watch the area from above. It's easy to see him from above once he is targeted.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Favor for the Furrier
The commander can be most generous to those who demonstrate their loyalty, and I know of something that you can do to curry favor with him. Before building up his... ehh... workforce, he dealt in the furs of animals. He is quite skilled in the art of leatherworking.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fashionism
We have a strict policy among our ranks, one that we take most seriously. Our troops are to dress in official uniform at all times. This helps with organization, friendly fire incidents are reduced, and it keeps the troops looking wonderful! We call it, Fashionism.
