Players that have a 6 or 12-month subscription will receive the Timbered Air Snakelet pet at no extra cost for Cataclysm Classic.

The Timbered Sky Snakelet (pictured right) battle pet can be added to Retail collections, however it requires a separate purchase from the Blizzard Store ($10USD).

Although the pet is essentially the same for both versions of WoW, Classic and Retail have slightly different names ("Air" vs. "Sky").
