Development
Companion was first seen at the July 2011 Press Event, where it was a level 16 skill. Unfortunately, no information about the skill's function was available.
Beta
When the beta started in September 2011, Companion was changed to level 15. The skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13, and Companion was classified as a Shadow skill and moved up to level 25. For Beta Patch 14, it was re-classified as a Hunting skill and dropped to level 17. Also, the "Hunting" category replaced "Shadow".
In Other Games
Companion is an updated (and hopefully more useful) version of Diablo II's Druid skill Raven.
Media
