Talk to Brutus in Upper Jeuno who will give you three Aquafloras to put in some Underground Pools in Fei'Yin.
There are 3 pools in the lower area of Fei'Yin at H-8, H-5 and F-5. When F-5 is inspected, Dabotz's Ghost appears. He can cast Tornado and does a variety of black magic, Smash Axe can stun it. Advise to bring help with you if attempting at 52, the fight is difficult.
After he dies, inspect the pool again, watch a cutscene, inspect the other two pools in that area if you didn't get them on the way in.
Go back to Brutus - if you skip this step you will NOT get the collar from the chest.
Next go to Castle Oztroja and kill Yagudo Conquistadors, Priors, Lutenists and Zealots for an Oztroja Chest Key. Find a chest, trade key and you'll get a Beast Collar.
Trade the collar to the walking monkey called Tebhi who will disappear (respawn is 15 mins)~~tebhi does not disappear on Horizon~~ (this is not true; just had to wait 15 minutes for it to respawn with a friend--01/28/24). Tebhi spawns in the basement area on this map. You should be able to spot him on Widescan.
Head back to Upper Jeuno and talk to Brutus one final time to receive the Beast Gaiters.

Note: It is possible to solo the Yagudo for the Oztroja Chest Key at level 52 with either jug pets, or, at this map, by charming the Oozes in the pond in the middle square.

Client: Brutus (Chocobo Stables, Upper Jeuno)
Summary:

Many animals conscripted during the war did not return. Brutus wants you to put their souls to rest.
