Chibi-Ghost Basilisk — Detailed Guide
A ghostly chibi from Fear Evolved
The Chibi-Ghost Basilisk is one of the chibi-pets of ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki ties it to the ARK: Fear Evolved 5 event, says it has been available in every event since, and gives 339.5 as the version that added it. Its item text explains what it is for: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!"
How the pet gains levels
A chibi-pet is mainly a cosmetic, yet it also lifts the survivor's level cap. Keep it equipped while killing certain predators and it collects experience. It has five level-ups in total; at each one, the survivor wearing it gains 1 more maximum level for good, up to 5 extra levels in all. Among the kills that count are the 
Alpha Basilisk, 
Alpha Fire Wyvern, 
Alpha Mosasaur, 
Alpha Tusoteuthis and Enraged Corrupted Triceratops. Some only count in one game: the 
Alpha Tridacna and 
Alpha Chrysaora in ASE on Steam, and the 
Astral Mammoth, Alpha Palaeoctopus and 
Enraged Lightning Rex in ASA.
Slot, position and death
ASE players equip it in the off-hand slot, ASA players in a dedicated Chibi slot. The basilisk then appears at the survivor's front-left and follows their movement. While you ride it sits in your lap, and while you are in bed it stays nearby. It is treated as a normal item rather than an unlockable skin. If you die, it falls with the rest of your inventory and is lost unless you get the death cache back.
Crates that can hold it
3 crate types can contain it, for example the 
DodoRex and 
Dodo Wyvern crate and the Fishing Items (Valentine's) crate. It weighs 0 and has a stack size of 1.
