Chibi-Mesopithecus — Detailed Guide
The chibi from Love Evolved 2
Chibi-Mesopithecus is a miniature pet from the ARK: Love Evolved 2 event, according to the ARK Wiki, and it is listed for both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The wiki dates it to patch 322.9. It is mainly cosmetic but also carries a level bonus, summed up in its description: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!"
How the level bonus works
- Slot: the off-hand slot in ASE, the dedicated Chibi slot in ASA.
- Leveling: it gains up to five levels from kills of qualifying creatures made while it is equipped.
- Reward: each of those levels adds 1 to the maximum level of whichever survivor has it equipped at that moment, up to 5 in total.
- Qualifying kills: examples are the
Alpha Basilisk, 
Alpha Deathworm, 
Alpha Leedsichthys, 
Alpha Tusoteuthis, 
Alpha Fire Wyvern and 
Alpha Karkinos. ASA also counts Astral creatures like the 
Astral Mammoth and 
Astral Direwolf, and ASE on Steam the 
Alpha Dakosaurus, among others.
Riding, sleeping and dying with a chibi
The pet trails the survivor at the front-left, sits in their lap during rides and stays near them when they sleep in a bed; in a 
Tek Sleeping Pod it faces upward at the survivor's right. Chibi-pets are ordinary items rather than unlocked skins: death drops one along with the rest of the inventory, and a death cache that is never recovered means the pet is lost.
