I know this was posted a while ago and i was skeptical at the time but i'm seeing more odd activity and sharp price drops with the Viscous Horror.
It appears the Viscous horror has been hit by a small duping wave, im seeing prices as low as 75k and a lvl 1 spamming for 60k, when i went to msg the 60k guy he had logged. Numerious people on high pops selling them, does not appear to have hit small servers yet but please be aware....price drops if it continues are imminent.
*update* Just saw someone spamming to buy 10x of them at 50k a pop. Now people wouldnt be spamming this if they hadnt found those prices and quantities available by someone previously. BUYERS BEWARE~!
*update#2* price already dropped to 65k confirmed spamming

Before those get hit as well. I don't know what blizz has been doing but they are really dropping the ball on preventing these massive amount of dupes. I STILL see level 1s popping up on my realm with cheap soul-traders, spec kitties.

*sigh* and now a level 1 just popped up in trade selling a VH and a spec kitty. lovely
Inspected the level 1 and they have 20 achievement points. It was always the same a few months ago during the massive dupe waves of Spec kitties, soul-traders and dragon kites. ALWAYS new accounts selling the pets.

Just saw the same thing in my realm.. an orc warrior level 1, with 20 achievement points, selling VHs in the trade channel for 80k...

Yup the level 1 I'm watching keeps adding more and more of the previous duped pets to his yells in trade chat. The funny thing is I sent this one a few tells and accused him of being a duper. This one actually replied in some broken english before putting me on ignore after saying "I NO DUPE". Yup..

I noticed that this morning. On my main server there are 2 on alliance AH and 2 on horde, all listed at 80k. Just checked another higher pop server and I see another 2 at 80k.

everything started 10 days ago, there was 22 in all 482 AHs (including connected realms) then the number went up to 70, and it is 85 now, and as a result gold prices went down to 6$/10k

Hmmm. So what has happened in the past? Will they take away people's pets who have bought them? I didn't even think about it, but I bought a Dragon Kite off the AH not too long ago and I'm wondering now if it was a dupe (it was 55k)

they have not fixed the problem or removed any of them. The soul-traders, kittens AND VISCOUS HORRORS have officially made it to my low pop, wow that didnt take long.

Bought a Viscous Horror for 60k today, read this post shortly after, turned around and sold it for 80k. If they have indeed been duped the price will probably drop further due to competition. I thought I got an amazing, amazing deal. Either way I made some gold... There was one for 80k on the auction house, that one was sold very quickly.

I noticed a level 1 Orc Warrior with a gibberish name spamming Trade today selling soul traders, spectral cubs and viscous horrors.
I whispered him asking how much the Horror was, since it's the last pet I need, and he said 110k. I counteroffered saying there were a bunch on Illidan (6? that seemed high..) and he instantly accepted my 80k offer. That made me suspicious, especially since he only replied with one-word tells and only after a long wait (1-2 mins each time). I decided to come here and look for any suspicious activity since the forums here seem to be on top of dupes/cheats/etc.
I was sad, but not surprised, when on the first page 3 of the 5 forum posts were about Viscous Horrors. =(
Thankfully I checked here *before* I bought it. It makes me sad to think that more pets are being duped, but I'm kinda glad I haven't bought one yet since the prices are already sinking like a rock. =(
