Horrors in the Highland is the Forever quest identified by 95646.[1]
Objective
Defeat a Highland Horror inside Excavation Site: Wetlands and deliver 1 Horrible Rootcore to Rethiel the Greenwarden in Wetlands.[1] The objective explicitly names the instance: an outdoor creature with the same name is not sufficient evidence of quest credit.
Preparation
Icy Veins says Rethiel's earlier quests, beginning with Tramping Paws, must be completed first.[2] Check whether the quest is available before entering; the wiki has not independently tested the prerequisite flags.
Rewards
Choose Ironwood Destroyer, Curl of Life or Hornbeam Heft.[1] No drop chance for the objective item is established by the inspected record.

The individually opened item 270180 lists Highland Horror in its drop-source field.[3] Its creature record is independently identified by 260808 and lists the instance.[4] These records do not establish an outdoor substitute or an exact quest-item probability.

This supplements the earlier reward-choice evidence; it does not date a gameplay item change. The dungeon level band and a guide's acceptance recommendation do not fill a blank item requirement.
Evidence and limits
Objectives and reward placement were checked against the individual Forever record. Guide reports and player comments are identified separately. Minimum acceptance levels, shareability, experience and money are not inferred from a dungeon level band or another WoW edition. See dungeon quest preparation for the dated guide overview. No wiki playthrough is claimed.
