Chibi-Lightning Wyvern

Earned from the Manticore in Scorched Earth

The Chibi-Lightning Wyvern, a chibi-pet, came with ARK: Survival Ascended; the ARK Wiki spells its name Chibi-Lighting Wyvern. According to the wiki, you get it by killing the Manticore on Alpha in Scorched Earth, and our records tie it to the Scorched Earth map as well. It weighs 0 and does not stack.

What equipping it does

Its in-game description: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!" The pet levels up as qualifying creatures fall while it is equipped, up to five times. Each of those level-ups permanently adds 1 to the maximum level of the survivor wearing it at the time, for up to 5 extra levels.

The wiki's list of creatures that count includes the Alpha Basilisk, Alpha Karkinos, Alpha Leedsichthys, Alpha Skeletal Rex and Alpha Surface Reaper King, and in ASA also the Alpha Hulking Revenant, Alpha Palaeoctopus, Astral Argentavis, Astral T-Rex and Enraged Lightning Triceratops.

Slot and death rules

In ASA the pet sits in a dedicated Chibi slot and then appears at the survivor's front-left, copying where they move and face. During a ride it stays in the survivor's lap. The wiki points out that chibi-pets are regular items rather than unlockable skins: when you die it falls with your other gear, and if the death cache is not retrieved it is gone. The wiki records it as added in version 304.1.
