Águti is curious as to the nature of the wildlife in the Water-works and is looking for someone to help him investigate.
'I am curious to know more about what lurks in the depths of the Water-works. I have identified three major forms of creature here: toads, lizards, and spiders -- all of them vile, creeping things.
'I want to know more about them, however, and how we might stem their growth. If you would bring me back some examples of the specimens, I should be able to determine who eats what, and perhaps I can find a way to pit them against each other.
'You can find these creatures all throughout the Water-works. I would like to see these vermin distracted from their appetite for my kinsmen.'
Toads, lizards, and spiders can be found all over the Water-works in Moria.
Águti wants to know more about the local wildlife. He asked you to gather samples of the toads, lizards, and spiders of the Water-works.
Águti can be found at the Rotting Cellar camp in the Water-works.
Águti will want to see the samples while they are still fresh, for he hopes to learn from them.
