How to perma-make one unit follow another?

In the map I'm making I have a druid char that spawns a 'Forest Spirit', kinda like in D2, and I want the spirit to follow the hero around without the player having to select them both and move them.

Anyways, how would I go about doing this..?

And, if possible, is there a way to cause the forest spirit to kind of fly around aimlessly within a certain radius around the hero? I was thinking something like locust swarm, but I don't think the 'spawned units' from that ability can have auras.. but perhaps I'm wrong?

Regardless, thanks for your time and advice =D

The Problem could be you see the Spirit only if the Swarm ability is activated, and it will vanish as soon as it stop. Loosing all Items if it is a storage beside the aura.
If the Spirit has the locust ability it wont have an aura

Elven_God, I kinda like your idea, but maybe instead of just ordering it to follow the druid, I could order it to move to a random point within a radius around the druid? I'll try and see if that works, and thanks for the inspiration
