Murmur is the final boss of Shadow Labyrinth (also referred to as SLabs). For players who never raided Molten Core and witnessed Ragnaros rise from the lava, or who've never participated in summoning and defeating Prince Thunderaan - this usually is their first encounter with a truly enormous mob. Murmur is gigantic in size, with a health pool to match it... at least by The Burning Crusade standard. Fortunately, he was already heavily wounded by Shadow Council cultists desperate to control him.
The creature is insanely powerful. The Codex of Blood tells the reader, "Long ago, in a dimension of the cosmos unfathomable to mortal minds, there was born - if such a term can be used for it - a being of such unbelievable power that its very entrance into existence shattered all reality around it." This appears to be backed up by the quest description for WANTED: Murmur's Whisper.
From the abnormal mob size to the codex text to his eery and unique deathcry (and let us not forget Shockwave Truncheon :), Murmur has long intrigued players. I am hoping that this item is an indicator that Blizzard may be doing a little something with him. According to his Dungeon Journal entry (emphasis mine), "Perhaps there is yet time to banish Murmur before it fully enters Outland."
Edit: Well, that was a disappointment, Blizzard... I was really hoping for something more grandiose and with story, not a piddling solo tank'n'spank. :(

To get Mournful Moan of Murmur, you need to kill Echo of Murmur.
Kill the Shadow Council Summoners surrounding Echo of Murmur to release him and make him attackable.
When you defeat him, he shrinks down teeny tiny and you can pick him up and he turns into Mournful Moan of Murmur.
The sound effect used for this toy sounds eerily (ha ha) similar to the one that had been used when activating Staff of Prehistoria.
