TheWoWDBOne of those quests where apparently while they able to bite you they dont have heads, they also drop fangs, which appreantly arent part of a head. Killed around about 25 of these for the 6 heads, sad really blizzard still adopts farming quests like these.

While it's not a mistake everyone will make, be sure you're actually in the water when you attack these things otherwise they have a terrible habit of <evade>.
Took me a while to figure this out >.>
This was nicely parodied by Dark Legacy Comics in the "Brains" episode.
Wowhead says the Murkscale Head head is a 45% drop rate - was 6/15 (or 40%) when I just did it.

Description
Take a good look. The river nearby is swarming with these snakes. Their venom causes a condition the locals call "the murksweats." Several refugees were bitten as they fled the temple and have already begun to show symptoms: nausea, vomiting, and intense sweating as the body rejects all fluids, causing dehydration and potentially death. We are administering anti-venom as quickly as possible, but we'll need more venom glands. Don't bother removing the glands yourself - just bring back the whole head.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Unsafe Passage
As we say at the temple: "Never fight a tiger with a hozen on your back." We will deal with the sha, but first we must see to the more immediate... nuisance.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Blinding the Riverblades
"A hooded falcon catches no quarry." This is one of the first mantras we teach young monks at the temple. It means that even a foe as swift and lethal as a falcon can be neutralized by depriving its senses. The saurok have scouts all over the region acting as eyes for their raiding parties.
