TheWoWDBI dont think anyone may have noticed but I liked this quest.
You basically get the three from The Lost Vikings from the Super Nintendo and they kinda worked them after it. They don't work exactly the same but close enough.
Quest
The Swift, the Fierce, and the Stout
A World of Warcraft quest in Badlands. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Also probably a reference to the Western classic "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (1966)
nobody mentioned it here, but after you get the 3, you can 'roam' with them a fair bit away from camp/the stated objectives; just tap a mob, and let them do all the cleanup.
If you are a gatherer and/or looking for fast Exp grind, having 3 guardians is NOT a bad deal! (similar to the 2 pallies you can get in EPL)

Description
In my haste to escape from Lethlor Ravine, I forgot to tie up one loose end: Nyxondra. She's free, and she's sounded the alarm among the black dragonflight. Half the flight is here in the western Badlands, combing for this egg. I'll take care of hiding the egg. You're going to take care of some of the more troublesome dragons. And you'll have help. Talk to Eric, over on the other side of camp. He and his brothers will be joining you.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Into the Dragon's Mouth
<Dr. Blam stares at the egg in awed silence, blinks a few times, then looks up at you.> D... did you see that? Incredible! My titan thing idea worked! With your help, of course. We'll want to get this back to Rhea.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Eric, the Utility Dwarf
Before we get too crazy what with the dragon-killin', let me tell you a little bit about how I fight. "The Swift" is what they call me, and here's why: I'll dash straight into your enemies - helmet first, mind you - and stun 'em for a few seconds. I also keep a few potions with me for tight spots.
