What you want is a wolf/bear/tiger companion then. We already have the system in place for that waiting to be fleshed out.

The hunter class could still be developed completely independent of the companion system with its own agency and direct appeal (as opposed to heavily relying on a pet element), and then you could have both your hunter fantasy and your animal companion(s).

I am still irked that people propose stuff like this as if the game doesn't already have several duplicative systems in place that could be expanded instead of making even more parasitic bloat.
