Chibi-Fenrir

A chibi that adds survivor levels

Equipping the Chibi-Fenrir in ARK: Survival Evolved or ARK: Survival Ascended gives you a miniature companion that can also raise your survivor's level cap. Chibi-Pets are mostly cosmetic, but they also offer that level cap increase. This one first appeared in the Winter Wonderland 7 event of ASE, and the ARK Wiki says it has turned up in every event after that. Its description sums up the idea: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!"

Leveling the pet

While it is equipped, kills of certain predators give the pet experience. It can level up 5 times, and each level-up permanently adds 1 to the maximum level of the survivor wearing it at that moment, for up to 5 extra levels. The ARK Wiki's list of creatures that count includes the Alpha T-Rex, Alpha Raptor, Alpha Carnotaurus, Alpha Megalodon, Alpha Mosasaur and the Enraged Corrupted Rex. Some only count in one game: the Alpha Water Wyvern is listed for ASE on Steam only, while Astral creatures such as the Astral T-Rex and Astral Direwolf are exclusive to ASA.

Slot, position and the risk on death

In ASE the pet goes in the off-hand slot; ASA gives it a dedicated Chibi slot. It then walks at the survivor's front-left, sits in the lap during rides and stays close by when the survivor is in bed. Unlike unlockable skins, a chibi is an ordinary item: it drops with the rest of the inventory on death and is gone for good if nobody recovers the death cache.
