Chibi-Bonnet Otter — Detailed Guide
The otter from Turkey Trial 4
First appearing in ARK: Survival Evolved with ARK: Turkey Trial 4, the 
Chibi-Bonnet Otter, listed as Chibi Bonnet Otter in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a Chibi-Pet. The ARK Wiki dates it to version 318.9. Its in-game text explains why you would equip it: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!"
Extra levels from Alpha kills
A Chibi-Pet can level up five times, and it earns those levels from kills of certain predators made while it is equipped. Each level it gains permanently raises the maximum level of the survivor wearing it at that moment by 1, for up to 5 extra levels. The wiki's main list of creatures that give it experience includes the 
Alpha T-Rex, 
Alpha Raptor, 
Alpha Megalodon, 
Alpha Deathworm and 
Enraged Corrupted Rex. Some count only in ASE on Steam, such as the Alpha Water Wyvern and Abyssal Alpha T-Rex, and some only in ASA, such as the 
Astral Argentavis, 
Astral T-Rex and 
Enraged Lightning Rex.
Slot, position and death
ASE puts a chibi in the off-hand slot, while ASA has a dedicated Chibi slot for it. Once equipped, the otter appears at the survivor's front-left and follows their movement and facing; it sits in the survivor's lap on a mount and stays nearby while they are in bed. Chibi-Pets serve mostly as cosmetics, yet they count as ordinary items: on death the pet falls with the rest of the inventory and is gone unless the death cache is retrieved.
Loot and weight
Our records name 2 loot crates that can contain the otter: Fishing Items (Valentine's) and Fishing Meat (Valentine's). It weighs 0 and has a stack size of 1.
