I don't know if anyone else is, or has had this issue, but as of 6.0, everytime I auto accepted the quest due to Kijara walking away from me before I had the chance to hit accept, Swiftclaw wouldn't spawn. At first I thought maybe someone else was on the quest, because when I initially got to the island, Swiftclaw was running around. I did my prerequisites for this quest, came back, ended up auto accepting the quest, and he was gone.
After having Kijara walk away from me three more times, (and auto accepting the quest again -.-), I finally got her to stand still long enough so I could actually hit the darned "accept" button. Needless to say, the first time I got to hit "accept" it worked and Swiftclaw spawned.
Swiftscale is on the same island that you get the quest on. He runs around the island.
He isn't a red one, but a black/grey one with some stripes on him.

Description
Ya be a good one, {name}. Moraya was askin' for new raptors ta train. We shouldn't keep her waitin' any longa! I have a few other recruits bringin' some over as well, but I have a special one dat I've been promisin' Moraya for a while. Swiftclaw be one of our fastest and bravest young raptors yet, but he can be a bit unruly. I'll lend ya da lasso, I just need ya to catch him somewhere on da island here and steer him over to da pens on da main isle. I doubt he'll be makin' it easy on ya though.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Consort of the Sea Witch
I been investigatin' our corrupted Bloodtalons troubles and I think I've found da source. A lone naga. He was holdin' a red orb aloft over our hatchlings and I could see dem... changin'.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Crab Fishin'
Perhaps me agin' body is just growin' too picky after all dese years, but boar meat just ain't goin' down easy no more. More for da new recruits I be thinkin'. We just set out some crab traps, but if ya be willin' ta help an impatient old troll, I'd love ta have some fresh crawler meat right now.
