Dialogue
 * "You! You're the one who killed my bull, Bill!  'Twas at Althea's bidding, sure, but that's naught to me.  If you and that Althea woman won't compensate me, I'll take my case to the constabulary, and I'll get satisfaction.  That bull protected my farm for all these years.  Who will protect it now?  Hmm...  You know what might do the trick?  A devourer might, if I could raise it from a hatchling and train it myself.  Tell you what: you bring me a Devourer egg, and we'll call it even.  What do you say?"

Walkthrough
After killing the Rogue Bull in "A Mesmer's Burden" quest, Old Mac will talk to Lady Althea and demand compensation. Old Mac will ask for a devourer egg to grow as a replacement pet. Get a Large Devourer Egg from Fadden Hathorn by completing The Egg Hunter quest and give it to Old Mac. Devourer Eggs are also available from Collector Brownlow right in front of the gate of Ascalon City.
