TheWoWDBIf Counting Argali is the worst Dragonflight daily/WQ then I nominate this one for second place. You regularly lose control of the otter using the "Strengthen Grip" command, which has a 7 sec CD, to regain control. I've had times where I had uninterrupted control for 15 sec, and times where the otter would go nuts every 5 seconds. During these uncontrolled times the otter can backtrack or just run off a ledge. If this wasn't frustrating enough just like Counting Argali if you don't return the otter fast enough he will despawn and you get to start again.
Edit: This is now probably the worst since Counting Argali now only requires one sheep and has marks for where to go.

Take them back to the center of the camp of the quest giver.
After many frustrating attempts, I finally figure out how to do this quest, It is fairly simple now and takes longer just to find the mounds. As soon as you get on otter, just push W always and hold right-mouse click to steer, only pressing the button when he goes crazy. It is very simple tbf, whole quest took about 2 minutes total for 3.
Hope this helps.

Description
To the northeast, there are a system of otter burrows along the bank. Some of the otters there are blessed by the river to grow to magnificent sizes. I will not have you hunting these blessings out of respect. Instead you will bring them back here, alive, so that we may treat them with the reverence they deserve.
