Chibi-Festive Bulbdog (Red) — Detailed Guide
A festive red Bulbdog in miniature
The Chibi-Festive Bulbdog (Red) is a pocket-sized pet that our records hold for both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki ties it to Winter Wonderland 7 and says it has been available in every event since, with 355.3 as the version that added it. Its in-game text: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!"
How it adds survivor levels
Equip it, then hunt the predators the wiki names: kills of creatures such as the 
Alpha Deathworm, 
Alpha Leedsichthys, 
Alpha Tusoteuthis or 
Alpha Basilisk give it experience. The pet has five level-ups in it, and every one of them raises the maximum level of whoever holds it at that time by 1, permanently, to a ceiling of 5 extra levels. ASE on Steam also counts creatures like the 
Alpha Tridacna and the Abyssal Alpha T-Rex, while ASA adds the 
Alpha Ossidon, the 
Enraged Lightning Rex and a set of Astral creatures.
Where it sits and what happens on death
In ASE the chibi takes the off-hand slot; ASA gives it a Chibi slot of its own. During a ride it stays in the rider's lap, and in bed it sits close by. It is not an unlockable skin but a plain item: when the survivor dies it drops along with everything else carried, and an unrecovered cache means the pet is lost.
Weight and loot
It weighs 0 and stacks to 1. Our records list 2 crate types that can contain it, Fishing Meat (Valentine's) and Fishing Items (Valentine's).
