Chibi-Ghost Mantis — Detailed Guide
A ghostly mantis that raises your level cap
The Chibi-Ghost Mantis is a chibi-pet that first came with ARK: Fear Evolved 5 and has returned in every event since, according to the ARK Wiki. Our records have it in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its description: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!"
Levelling the mantis
With the pet equipped, kills of certain predators feed it experience. It can level up five times, and each level permanently adds 1 to the maximum level of the survivor wearing it at that moment, for up to 5 extra levels. Creatures that count include the 
Alpha Raptor, the 
Alpha T-Rex, the 
Alpha Megalodon and the 
Enraged Corrupted Rex. Some only count in one game: the Alpha Water Wyvern in ASE (Steam only), and the 
Astral Raptor or the 
Alpha Ossidon in ASA.
Equipping, death and loot
In ASE the chibi sits in the off-hand slot, while ASA gives chibis a slot of their own. Once equipped it appears ahead of the survivor on the left and follows them around; when they ride a mount, it rests in their lap. Chibis count as ordinary items, not unlocked skins: they drop with the rest of the inventory on death and are gone if the death cache is not recovered. The mantis weighs 0. Our records list 4 crate types that can contain it: 
DodoRex and 
Dodo Wyvern, Raptor Claus Gift, Fishing Items (Valentine's) and Fishing Meat (Valentine's). The wiki gives patch 339.5 as the version that added it.
