If I was to guess compared to other official listed monstrous cohorts with a CR of 2, I would place it at effective cohort lvl of 5. If you used regular leadership rules that means you could not get it as a cohort until pc lvl 7 using the leadership feat. Oddly enough that is the same lvl you could get it using the improved familiar feat and if you meet the prerequisites. That is why I agree on the cohort lvl of 5. Some would argue to make it a 6 given all of its abilities it gets like it's spells, but hey this is making an educated guess based on other official cohorts you can get through leadership. Add please do not mention the monstrous companion feat, in my opinion that feat should not exist because of how bad it is.
