Taken from the blizzard store.

The pet store just went plush! Introducing the Wind Rider Cub, the first in a new line of cuddly, crafty critters, exclusive to the Blizzard Entertainment online store.

When you purchase the plush, you also get a matching in-game non-combat pet, which once activated, applies to all present and future characters on a single World of Warcraft license.

And this is what the plush itself looks like.

Looking at it, it makes me hopeful that wind riders in their adult form might be getting a reskin soon, and if it's anything like this guy it will definitely be for the better. Look at the details on the tail and the spots and everything, really well done.

I just got mine in the mail today!

The in-game pet looks absolutely beautiful. He has a lovely lope as he follows you on the ground and a nice prowl if you're walking. Once you start flying, he also takes off and follows you around in the air. I'm pretty sure he has the same ground and flight animations as the adult wind riders, both idle and in motion, but he looks much, much nicer. I would love to see a reskin of the adult ones in the future; it would be a much welcome upgrade!

On another note, the plush doll is bigger than I thought it would be and extremely soft! I'm sure it would be an appreciated gift to anyone who loves stuffed animals. Also, the toy comes in a black drawstring bag with the Horde symbol on one side and "Wind Rider Cub" on the other.

The letter from Breanni that the pet comes attached to reads as followed:

Hello!

Please give a warm welcome to your new cuddly cub!

I'm so happy you could give this ferocious little flyer a home.

Can you send this guy to your other characters or is it purely on one character and one character alone?

Kommentar von PonyHawk

He actually flys after you. But only when mounted otherwise he runs on the ground. Even flys after you when flying in Northrend or Outland.

Kommentar von monopoman

This is the best pet in the game seriously, I only wish it had a more unique factor like some sort of special animation.

Kommentar von dwergwerper

Kommentar von Armaita

Don't forget that he has a cute growl aswell if you turn your WoW sound on, you should try it. ^^,

Unique Features
The Wind Rider Cub is a unique companion pet, meaning that no other pet shares the same model. This pet walks to move, but will fly if the owner is on a flying mount.

How to get it
This pet can be obtained by purchasing a Wind Rider plush toy from the Blizzard store for $25. The in-game pet is given as a bonus with the plush toy. Once redeemed, the wind rider cub will be mailed to all current and future characters on your account.

Click here to see a video of this pet's basic animations + sounds.

Yes you can have both Alliance and Horde pets. They r not faction based but rather $ based on purchasing the plush toys from Blizz store. All toons you'll ever make will get them (unless Blizz defaults). For those looking for reskin, sorry you may be out of luck. In nature the young are generally spotted or striped to better camouflage themselves. Both pets are awesomely designed. Pleasantly surprised that pets have aerial following as well, like tickbirds and phoenix. Most other fliers follow close to ground. With the Cataclysm expansion now u can cruise your pets everywhere aerially and not have to resummon. The limited supply helps keep demand up. Grab em while they're hot. It was 2 yrs before they made reappearance last time.

I simply love this little thing. I am buying a Lohfarbener Windreiter just to complete the "family" when I hit lvl 60. :)

Speaking of a flying mount, can anyone tell me if anything special is needed to fly in Outland, or is that automatic?

Kommentar von Boomer0072

Is the Wind Rider Cub the only pet that can fly with you?

Kommentar von 525436

I have two WoW accounts with the same owner's name, but one is from my cousin and the other is mine. Can someone tell me if the companion is for both accounts or only for the main one?

Kommentar von middy399

I got this for my birthday. Cutest little thing ever! ^.^ I love it. It's so hard to choose between having this guy out, or showing off my Li'l Deathwing. I usually choose this one. <3 <3

It's especially fun to summon him on an AC character. >:D

Kommentar von 985885

I bought this, and got it in the mail about a week later, and I ~~was~~ am so happy with it.
I also bought the tawny wind rider in Orgrimmar to match!
I sleep with this plush almost every night now, and I named him Chester.
He just looks like a Chester.
The in-game pet is beautiful, and is the same model as the kittens.
The plush is high quality, and very soft, and cuddly.

I'm a little bent that there is a wild pet that resembles the alliance mount, but the horde players have to pay out the nose to get a pet for their faction. Am I the only person who thinks this stinks?

Kommentar von 976167

Went to buy and it said it was sold out! Anyone know if this happens normally or are they sold out for good?

Kommentar von rossitini

This companion and the other from the plush range is currently available on eBay......things are looking up for pet collectors!

Kommentar von Ammeg

For those of you who don't have this pet yet, they are available at the blizzard US store again, though I am not sure if they will become available to the EU store or not yet.

Hope this helps those in need of it since Blizzard removed them from the stores.

I can confirm as a EU WoW player receiving an American Wind Rider Cub plush from the US Blizzard Store, that the codes supplied with the plush toys DO in fact work on EU servers! Brilliant news for EU players since our physical merchandise store has been removed for the time being. The US Blizz Store send the plush via FedEx courier and I received mine shipped to the UK in two days so you won't even have to wait long for the cuddly bundle to arrive! Hope this helped any fellow EU players who are teetering on the edge of importing this little dude or not since they surely won't be around long enough to weigh up the odds of wasting money on a pet code that doesn't work...Or maybe like me you don't care and just want something adorable to snuggle? =P Either way you can have your cake AND eat it!

Kommentar von Cluisanna

It seems like the corresponding plush, and thus also this item has been removed from the Blizzard Gear Store. Shame that this was never announced, I wanted to buy it for Christmas. :(

ETA: As of January 2015, the plush has been re-added to the store but is listed as 'out of stock'.

ETA: IT'S BACK IN STOCK! (20/2/2015)

You can redeem the code attached to the physical plushie for the in-game pet at this website:

As of December 2017, this toy and the similar Greifenküken appear to no longer be sold in the Blizzard store. No word yet on whether either will reappear, so unfortunately these pets might be unobtainable for the forseeable future.
