There is 0 consistency in the game on wether the bear is considered a creep or a hero unit. Here's a few examples on top of my head:

Creep interactions:

• Doesn't make lane creep aggro enemy when targeted
• Can be targetted by Axe ulti, but doesn't give stacks to Axe
• Can't have illusions
• Can't carry Aegis
• Can't pop smoke
• Can't get Moonlight Shadowed
• Deals lower damage to Supernova, Tombstone, Wards etc.

Hero interactions

• It itself takes lane creep aggro when focusing a hero
• Can be targetted AND give ulti stacks to Reaper's Scythe

It's like they've chosen the worse one every single time it's relevant.
