Croaky's Head Quest: Where to Find Croaky and Turn It In
Croaky's Head is a level 11 Alliance quest in Elwynn Forest in World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever): you kill the elite murloc Croaky southwest of Eastwale Logging Camp, loot Croaky's Head, which starts the quest, and deliver it to Merell Ross at Ridgepoint Tower for 880 experience and 100 Stormwind reputation. Wowhead requires level 7 and says it was added in patch 1.60.1, as of November 10, 2026.
Quick answer: Croaky is a level 11 elite murloc at about 76.5, 85.9 in Elwynn Forest (Warcraft Wiki, a pointer). His drop, Croaky's Head, starts the quest. Take it to Merell Ross at Ridgepoint Tower. In a group, two players report one head drops per kill, so more than one kill may be needed.

Where do you find Croaky?
The Warcraft Wiki lists Croaky as a level 11 elite murloc in Elwynn Forest at 76.5, 85.9, southwest of Eastwale Logging Camp, and says he casts Lightning Bolt and Shock. A Wowhead commenter gives 76.4, 84.9 and says he stands in the middle of a murloc camp. Another commenter says he is a gold-plate elite at The Darkened Bank, near the southernmost edge by the river, and that you may meet him while doing the quest Downstream. Treat the coordinates as pointers; the Elwynn Forest guide covers the zone.
How does the quest start?
There is no quest giver. Wowhead's page names only Merell Ross as the end point, and the wiki lists Croaky's Head as a drop that starts the quest. The quest text says the murloc has been terrorizing the local roads and that the nearby watch guards will want to know it is dead. Wowhead lists the head as provided, so there is nothing else to collect.
Is Croaky a group fight?
He is an elite, and the quest is not sharable. Two Wowhead commenters, one dated about six days before this review, describe a bug when killing him as a group: only one head drops per kill, so you kill him several times and the head goes to a different party member each time. That is player-reported and I found no Blizzard note on it. The wiki also says he drops Torn Murloc Fin, an objective of Bounty on Murlocs. For finding a group, see looking for a group.
Where do you hand it in?
Wowhead names Merell Ross at Ridgepoint Tower in Elwynn Forest. The Warcraft Wiki has no page for Merell Ross, so I could not confirm his spot beyond Wowhead's quest text. The free Lore Forever add-on has a Lore button on the quest dialog and quest log that opens a quest's story. It is fan-made and not affiliated with Blizzard.
