Chibi-Ferox (Small) — Detailed Guide
The small Ferox chibi
Chibi-Ferox (Small) is a miniature pet in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Before 311.74 it carried the name Chibi-Shapeshifter (Small). The wiki ties it to ARK: Winter Wonderland 4 and says it has been available in every event since; the version that added it is 304.1. Its game text reads: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!"
How the level bonus works
Alongside its cosmetic role, the chibi gains experience when its owner kills certain predators with it equipped. It can level up five times, and each level-up permanently raises the maximum level of the survivor wearing it by 1, for a full bonus of 5 levels. Qualifying kills include the 
Alpha Carnotaurus, 
Alpha Deathworm, 
Alpha Mosasaur and 
Alpha Basilisk. In ASA the 
Alpha Ossidon and 
Astral T-Rex also count, and ASE on Steam adds the 
Alpha Tridacna and 
Alpha Dakosaurus.
Slots, mounts and death
ASA gives chibi-pets a separate Chibi slot, while ASE uses the off-hand slot. The pet stays in your lap when you ride and sits next to the bed while you sleep. The game treats it as an item, not an unlocked skin: it drops with your inventory on death and has to be recovered, or it is gone.
