Blizz's own words about Hunters

They said they want to give it more flavor. Adding interactions, effects and appearances doesn’t make it a pet in the gamespace.

This next step for Marksmanship is, ideally, the first of many. We are interested in continuing to flesh out Marksmanship’s Eagle as a true pet and partner for you on your journeys with unique interactions, effects, and even appearances in the future, but we don’t have specifics to share yet.
