Chibi-Maewing — Detailed Guide
The Maewing in chibi form
The Chibi-Maewing is a miniature companion that players of ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended can equip. The ARK Wiki rates it a common chibi-pet and ties it to ARK: Summer Bash 2021, saying it has been available in every event since; the version that added it is 332.1.
Five levels for the pet, five for the survivor
Its description sums up the mechanic: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!" While it is equipped, kills of certain predators feed it experience. It can gain five levels, and each one raises by 1 the maximum level of whichever survivor has it equipped at that time, up to 5 extra levels in total. Qualifying kills include the 
Alpha Surface Reaper King, 
Alpha Karkinos, Alpha Skeletal Rex, 
Alpha Deathworm and Enraged Corrupted Triceratops. ASA also counts the 
Enraged Lightning Rex, the 
Alpha Hulking Revenant and Astral creatures such as the 
Astral Rock Drake; ASE on Steam also counts the 
Alpha Dakosaurus and 
Alpha Malleocephalus, among others.
Equipping and losing it
In ASE the pet occupies the off-hand slot; ASA has a separate chibi slot for it. It stays in the survivor's lap during rides and sits nearby while they sleep in a bed. It is a regular item rather than an unlocked skin, which means death drops it alongside the rest of the inventory, and the pet is gone if that death cache is never recovered.
Loot and weight
Our records list 3 crate types that can contain it, for example Raptor Claus Gift and Fishing Items (Valentine's). It weighs 0 and has a stack size of 1.
