Right now it is 12:16 am on the 5th of April Realm time on Skywall. Why does WowHead's Quick Facts on this page show this event started at 12 am and my in-game calendar shows it begins at 1 am today?

Kommentar von Yavilee

You will find this super cute event just south of the Bor'Gorok Outpost!
Prepare to melt.

Edit: At 43.62 13.68, for TomTom users

Kommentar von Kaliopae

Those of you with fond memories of König Mrgl-Mrgl and his band of merry murlocs will love another chance to play with your little friends. The event can be found at Winterfin Village, around (43:13) Borean Tundra.

At 43.62 13.68 in Borean Tundra :)

To get to Winterfin Retreat go to end of road going W of the road going S from Bor'Gorok outpost. Talk to King for quest. Pick a tadpole, get close enough to talk to it, select motion to follow you, talk again to complete quest, then accept quest. The three quests I did were
1) Get clams from sea floor in marked area. They're small and will be on sea floor and ledges of marked area. Enemies are lvl69-71. If lvl110 can use item for swimming and/or waterbreathing to speed things up without having to constantly go up for air. I used a sea turtle and Mastercraft Kal'uk fishing pole to swim faster and get water breathing.
2) Kill Mrrgl (not sure named spelled right.) Go to marked spot and if not there wait a couple minutes for Mrrgl the Killer Whale to spawn. I think Mrrgl level slides to character but not sure. My character is lvl110 so Mrrgl was too. Wasn't a hard fight for my hunter and there'll be other players helping with the beat down. Can target and attack from water surface, just make sure to re-equip any gear switched out for clam search. Was even able to able to attack standing on rock at end of Winterfin Retreat.
3) Tadpole has gift for you, talk to tadpole, accept gift to complete quest. Got a Winterfin Pearl.

This is a mini-event so will end at 1am game time and I haven't seen any other quests or buffs other than ones I mentioned.

Kommentar von Kurasu

Each and every one of the tadpoles has its own individual name. They come in all different sizes and colors, as well!

The tadpole you choose does not seem to change what you get in your Kaulquappengeschenk at the end of it. In my case, it was a Muschelschalenherz (from Schäumchen), which I shall treasure until my dying day!

For the record, once you leave the area of the Winterfin camp, your tadpole no longer follows you. :( You must be within the area of the Winterfin Retreat for you to keep your tadpole tagging along.

Kommentar von Truweil

Was hoping Squirky was related to this. So far, seems not to be.

Kommentar von Kurasu

You do not need to have completed *any* of the Winterfin quests to be able to take part in the events. Even if you have not completed the questlines, the Winterfin are friendly with you, although you are unable to actually communicate with the NPCs. Just the tadpoles (such as it is 'communication'!).

Kommentar von 4bear

When you get the quest, the quest giver says to beckon one over. You don't need to /beckon one to you, just find one you like and talk to it!

Kommentar von warp9pnt9

Go out of my way to get there, show up, do 2 trivial quests which take a total of about 45 seconds, get a bag of garbage, vendor it, leave. What a waste of development effort. It would be more fun if it was repeatable, with a chance to get a drop to keep a lil bugger for a pet or something, or a toy. For anyone interested in a murloc pet, go lookup Terky.

Kommentar von Annyi

It's now 13 days after the micro-holiday, I'm in Winterfin Village and my baby murloc friend is here and following me around. Does anyone know if this lasts the whole year? I also got the last quest again (Ein Geschenk von Eurer Kaulquappe) and received another Kaulquappengeschenk.

Kommentar von Ascherin

I found Squirky off the coast of Azuna.

Kommentar von HavenCeles

I love all of these wee lil murlocs running around with their cute lil murlocky names... and then there is Steve XD

Kommentar von Deveroo

I was really disappointed, as much as I love murlocs, it was a waste of time since the murloc only follows you while you're at the beach area. If Blizz really wanted to do something cool with this they'd have the murloc follow you anywhere in the game for 24 hours, now that would be worth it and super fun.

Kommentar von Kimminator

I admit, I'm sad that I don't get to keep my cute little Murloc tadpole for ever and ever, but it was a cute little goober while it lasted.
(I typed 'little &*!@ens' first, but apparently it thinks I'm trying to use naughty words and turned it into cartoon swear characters. *eyeroll/chuckle*)

Kommentar von leahbonq

Having transferred from the EU to the US to join friends, I hoped — desperately hoped — this might be a way to compensate for my much missed pet, Lurky.

Alas, it was not to be. Li'l Gill did not want to join me on my adventures. My heart remains empty, and broken!

Kommentar von sallypantsiscool

One day every year, usually in mid-spring, the Winterfin tadpoles are given free reign of the village. I'm not sure why this tradition persists, as it usually results in heavy damage to the their buildings and food stores.

~ King Mrgl-Mrgl

March of the Tadpoles is an annual micro-event that takes place in Spring (this year, on April 5, 2020) at Winterfin Retreat, which is on the coast west of Bor'Gorok Outpost in Borean Tundra. The zeppelin in Orgrimmar will get you pretty close, taking you to Warsong Hold.

During this event, you can get the quest Adopt a Tadpole from King Mrgl-Mrgl, located around 43.5, 14.0, where you can select one of the murlocs running around to "adopt" by clicking on one. I adopted "Steve."

Once you've adopted a murloc, you can then get the quest A Tadpole's Request from it, collecting 10 clams from the nearby water. Your adopted murloc will follow you while you perform these quests.

Upon completing A Tadpole's Request, your adopted murloc will offer you The Ways of the World quest, where you are tasked with killing Mrrga. It was more challenging than I expected (even as a level 120 warrior) so you may want some help.

Once Mrrga is dead, your murloc will offer you the quest A Gift From Your Tadpole in which you receive a Tadpole Gift. Nothing is required to complete this quest, just accept and complete.

The gift could be one of the following items (in current order of most to least common):

Wet Rock
Winterfin Pearl
Clamshell Heart
Kelp Art
Finful of Sparkly Sand (this is what I received)
Gnawed Piece of Driftwood
Half of a Fish
Winterfin Mud Pie

Your murloc will follow you all around Winterfin Retreat, but not outside of that area. It's not a pet or toy, just a temporary companion for this event. It's a pretty fun event and doesn't take too long to do.

Kommentar von Lozicle

If, like me, you pick your lil baby to adopt and complete the quest "Adopt a Tadpole" and then nothing happens, fly out of the area and back in and your lil new baby will reappear to give the next quest in the chain :)

Kommentar von norris2930

I was not able to obtain the quest from the merlock. I completed Adopt a Tadpole but I think because I was flying I could not do the next part in the questline.

Kommentar von AveryZan

If you are having issues getting the quest make sure you relog. I had to do this twice for the starting part and the follow up. Also on another character the murloc I had last year showed up before event started and I couldn't do it on that charcter.

Kommentar von Plaidiator

I looked at the "objective of" tab for the baby murlocs and was surprised to find that Steve and all the other baby murlocs got involved in the Siege of Boralus somehow. It appears they grew up to be heroes of the Alliance and Horde.
I am proud of them going so far in their careers but sad that they ended up all getting killed in the battle =(

Kommentar von JustJude

It would be nice, really nice, if blizz developed this little event just a little bit more.
A few more quests wouldn't hurt and it would be great if they added a murloc toy or pet to collect.

Kommentar von BlueOctopus

I think they grow? My murloc was tiny when I got them but I went back for a visit this year and he's grown! He's the size of some of the normal npcs.
