Chibi-Bulbdog — Detailed Guide
A chibi from Winter Wonderland 5
A miniature pet for ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK: Survival Evolved, the Chibi-Bulbdog debuted during ARK: Winter Wonderland 5 in ASE, and the ARK Wiki says it has been available in every event since. Its description: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!" The wiki adds that equipping it requires owning Aberration.
Extra levels for the survivor
Chibi-Pets are mostly cosmetic, but they can also lift a survivor's level cap. While equipped, the pet gains experience from kills of certain predators and can level up five times. Each level-up permanently adds 1 to the maximum level of the survivor who has it equipped at that moment, up to 5 extra levels. The wiki's list of creatures that give chibi XP includes the 
Alpha Raptor, 
Alpha Carnotaurus, 
Alpha T-Rex and 
Alpha Megalodon, and a separate list for ASA adds Astral creatures such as the 
Astral Raptor and 
Astral Direwolf.
Wearing it and losing it
In ASE the chibi goes in the off-hand slot, while ASA has a dedicated Chibi slot for it. The pet then shows up at the survivor's front-left and follows their movement and facing, sits in their lap while they ride, and stays close by while they sleep in a bed. Unlike unlockable skins, a chibi is a regular item: it drops with the rest of the inventory on death and is lost unless the death cache is recovered.
