Chibi-Easter Chick

A rare chibi from Eggcellent Adventure 6

The Chibi-Easter Chick is a chibi-pet for ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki calls it a rare one: it first showed up in ARK: Eggcellent Adventure 6 and has been part of every event since. The wiki dates it to patch 326.3. Its description: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!"

Equipping and leveling the chick

In ASE the chick goes in the off-hand slot, while ASA gives chibis a slot of their own. Once equipped it walks at the survivor's front-left and follows along, rides in your lap on a mount and sits close by when you sleep in a bed.

A chibi-pet can level up five times through kills of certain predators made while it is equipped. Every level-up permanently raises the maximum level of the survivor wearing it at that moment by 1, for up to 5 extra levels. Kills that count include the Alpha Raptor, Alpha Carnotaurus, Alpha T-Rex, Alpha Megalodon and Alpha Mosasaur, along with the Enraged Corrupted Rex and Enraged Corrupted Triceratops. ASE on Steam adds creatures such as the Alpha Water Wyvern and the Abyssal Alpha T-Rex; ASA adds Astral creatures such as the Astral Raptor and Astral T-Rex, plus the Enraged Lightning Rex.

Do not lose it on death

Unlike unlocked skins, chibi-pets count as normal items. When you die, the chick drops with the rest of your inventory and is gone for good if the death cache is never recovered.
