Description
Welcome to the most vital organ of the Undercity: The Apothecarium! Here we experiment on the most virulent of Azeroth's exotic specimens.
You've caught me in a good mood, so I will let you in on my latest investigation. It appears there is a particularly venomous arthropod stalking the ruins above our fair city. Its toxins are said to eat through even undead flesh. How exhilarating!
I wish to validate these claims. Should you find yourself withering away from its bite, I should love a sample.

Read from the World of Warcraft: Forever beta: the quest's own text, level, objectives and rewards come from the quest cache the beta client writes, the item names, icons and qualities from the client's tables, and the two ends of the quest from the quest's own wording where it names them, with the title under the name where the creature cache knows it, or from the beta log, with the spot on the map, where the game has shown the hand-over. 61 quests have a page here so far.
