From GU 55 patch notes: Quest now requires the player to feed the Yarpsnarls located at West Camp Yarpsnarl; Quest level has increased to match the surrounding population.
Talvrae T'Zyth at 331, 189, 407. gives you a Bowl of Bear Chuck.
Place it near any kobold in West Camp Yarpsnarl; the Yarpsnarl that eats it will become your pet.
Now kill 12 Yarpsnarl kobolds. If your pet dies, go back for another bowl of bear chuck.
