Chibi-Kairuku — Detailed Guide
Chibi-Kairuku in short
The Chibi-Kairuku is one of the chibi-pets of ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended: a tiny companion that is mainly decorative but can lift your level cap. Its description: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!" The wiki ties it to Love Evolved 3 and says it has been available in every event since; the version that added it is 343.7.
Five pet levels, five survivor levels
Kill qualifying predators while the Chibi-Kairuku is equipped and it earns experience. Each of its five level-ups permanently adds 1 to the maximum level of the survivor who has it equipped when the level-up happens. Creatures that count include the 
Alpha Leedsichthys, 
Alpha Tusoteuthis, 
Alpha Fire Wyvern and 
Enraged Corrupted Rex. ASA adds creatures such as the 
Astral Mammoth, 
Astral Megalodon and 
Alpha Hulking Revenant; ASE on Steam adds the 
Alpha Malleocephalus and 
Alpha Chrysaora, among others.
Wearing and losing it
The pet takes the off-hand slot in ASE and the Chibi slot in ASA. In a 
Tek Sleeping Pod it sits to the survivor's right, looking up, because sleepers lie on their backs in the pod. It is an item rather than an unlocked skin: at death it drops with your inventory, and it is lost if that inventory is not recovered.
Maps, crates and weight
