Chibi-Direwolf — Detailed Guide
What the Chibi-Direwolf does
A small 
Direwolf companion that follows your survivor around, the Chibi-Direwolf exists in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki compares its look to a juvenile Direwolf. Its description: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!" The pet came with ASE's ARK: Winter Wonderland 4 and, per the wiki, has been offered in every event after that.
Five extra levels for your survivor
The pet levels up as you kill certain predators with it equipped, five times in total. Every one of those level-ups permanently raises the level cap by 1 for the survivor wearing it when it happens, so a fully leveled pet is worth 5 extra levels. The list of creatures that count includes the 
Alpha Deathworm, 
Alpha Mosasaur, 
Alpha Tusoteuthis and 
Enraged Corrupted Rex. Some only count in one game: the Alpha Water Wyvern on Steam in ASE, for example, or the 
Astral Direwolf and Alpha Palaeoctopus in ASA.
Slot, behavior and death
Equip it in the off-hand slot in ASE or in the dedicated Chibi slot in ASA. It then follows you from your front-left side, sits on your lap while you ride and stays near your bed while you sleep. Chibis are handled as normal items, not as unlocked skins, so the pet drops with your inventory on death and is lost if the death cache is never recovered.
