Chibi-Microraptor — Detailed Guide
Leveling the Chibi-Microraptor
The Chibi-Microraptor is a chibi-pet in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki ties it to Eggcellent Adventure 7, says it has been available in every event since, and gives 345.6 as the version that added it. Chibis are mainly cosmetic, but this one also offers a way to lift the survivor's level cap.
The game puts it plainly: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!" Each of its 5 possible level-ups permanently adds 1 to the maximum level of the survivor wearing it at the time. Creatures listed by the wiki include the 
Alpha Fire Wyvern, 
Alpha Deathworm, 
Alpha Mosasaur and 
Alpha Surface Reaper King. Some count in one game only: the Abyssal Alpha T-Rex and 
Alpha Dakosaurus in ASE on Steam, and the 
Alpha Ossidon, Alpha Palaeoctopus and 
Astral Mammoth in ASA.
Slot, behavior and death
ASE equips chibis in the off-hand slot, ASA in a slot reserved for them. The pet then stays in front of the survivor, a little to the left, matching their movement and facing. In a 
Tek Sleeping Pod it keeps that position but faces up at the survivor's right side, as survivors lie on their backs in pods. As an ordinary item, it drops on death with everything else in the inventory and is lost if that cache is not picked back up.
Where it appears
3 crate types can contain it, including the Fishing Items (Valentine's) crate and the Raptor Claus Gift. Our records list it on 4 maps: The Island, Scorched Earth, Extinction and Lost Colony. It weighs 0, stacks to 1 and gives 12 XP.
