Objectives

Use the Alliance Decoy Kit to summon the Moat Monster in the Ruins of Lordaeron. Then use the Bloated Frogs to feed the monster.

  • Feed Bloated Frogs to the Moat Monster (10)
  • Provided item: Moat Monster Feeding Kit: (1)

Description

Sometimes fishing means throwing something back, <class>.

We've been overfeeding these frogs for just that occasion. We've fed these frogs bloated spiders, that were fed bloated flies, and now, we are going to feed a real monster.

The moat above, in the Ruins of Lordaeron, is home to our very own Moat Monster.

Today is feeding day. But we must train it as well. In this bag, you will find a decoy kit and some Bloated Frogs. Use the decoy kit, then toss the frogs to the monster when it appears.

Decoy Taunt Dialog

  • Tremble in fear you mighty members of the Horde, the Alliance is here!
  • Our loss in Tol Barad will be avenged! I will try to bring death to this grand city. Cower as I try to remember a battle cry!
  • I'm so angry that we lost Wintergrasp, again! I will try to kill your leader, the all powerful, Sylvanas, instead.
  • Hey, look, there are people here. Nothing at all like that tree city that I, a night elf, live in.
  • Where am I? I crashed with the Exodar and now stumbled into this imposing city...
  • This city is so big, to me, a tiny, pathetic gnome.
  • I am drunk, like many of my fellow dwarves. I've dug a tunnel and wound up here. Who wants to drink?
  • Yoo hoo! I am here to slay Sylvanas!

Completion

The dead feed the flies. The flies feed the spiders. The spiders feed the frogs. The frogs feed our moat monster... It's a beautiful circle of life with the goal of ending life.

Rewards

You will receive:

  • Money (scales by level; 16 54 at level 85.)
  • +1 Fishing skill
  • 1 [Bag of Shiny Things]

Notes

The moat in question is outside in the entrance courtyard. Target the monster to feed it; it will remain visible for 2-4 frogs per taunt.

The feeding cycle is reminiscent of the mental patient Renfield in Bram Stoker's Dracula. He also fed flies to spiders, although the spiders were fed to birds; he wanted to feed the birds to a kitten which presumably he would eventually eat when it was a plump cat, in order to absorb all the lives involved in the process.
