Chibi-Beelzebufo

A Chibi-Pet from Eggcellent Adventure 5

Found in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, the Chibi-Beelzebufo is one of the Chibi-Pets. The ARK Wiki traces it to ASE's ARK: Eggcellent Adventure 5 and says it has been available in every event since; the wiki dates it to version 310.11. Chibis are cosmetic items first, but the in-game text points to a gameplay bonus as well: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!"

Wearing the pet

ASE puts a chibi in the off-hand slot, while ASA has a dedicated Chibi slot for it. Once equipped, the pet appears at your survivor's front left, following your movement and the direction you face. It rests in your lap while you ride and sits close by when you are in bed. In a Tek Sleeping Pod it keeps following you but faces upward at your right side, because survivors lie on their backs there.

Extra levels for your survivor

Kills of certain predators made while the pet is equipped give it experience, and it can level up five times. Every time it does, whoever has it equipped at that moment gains 1 to their maximum level for good, up to 5 extra levels in all. The wiki's general list of creatures that count includes the Alpha T-Rex, Alpha Carnotaurus, Alpha Mosasaur, Alpha Tusoteuthis, Alpha Fire Wyvern and Enraged Corrupted Triceratops. It marks others as exclusive to ASE on Steam, such as the Alpha Dakosaurus and Abyssal Alpha T-Rex, and to ASA, such as the Alpha Ossidon, Astral Mammoth and Astral Direwolf.

Lost on death

Chibis count as ordinary items, not unlocked skins. When you die the pet drops with the rest of your inventory, and if you do not get your death cache back, it is gone.
