Chibi-Phiomia — Detailed Guide
The Phiomia in pocket size
Chibi-Phiomia is a small companion item for ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended that follows its owner around. The ARK Wiki ties it to ASE's ARK: Winter Wonderland 4 and says it has been available in every event since then. Like other Chibi-Pets it is mostly for looks, yet it has a practical side too, spelled out 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
The pet levels up when its owner kills certain predators while it is equipped, up to five times. Each level-up raises the maximum level of the survivor who has the chibi equipped at that moment by 1, and the increase is permanent; the total bonus tops out at 5 levels. The wiki's general list of qualifying kills includes the 
Alpha Raptor, 
Alpha T-Rex, 
Alpha Leedsichthys, 
Alpha Basilisk and 
Enraged Corrupted Rex. It marks some as exclusive to ASE on Steam, such as the Abyssal Alpha T-Rex, 
Alpha Chrysaora and Alpha Water Wyvern, and others as exclusive to ASA, such as the 
Astral Argentavis, 
Alpha Hulking Revenant and 
Enraged Lightning Triceratops.
Equipping it and keeping it
In ASE the chibi takes the off-hand slot, while ASA gives chibis a dedicated slot. Once equipped it appears in front of the survivor on the left side, turning and moving with them; it sits in their lap while they ride and stays nearby while they sleep in a bed. In a 
Tek Sleeping Pod it keeps to the survivor's right and faces upward. Chibis count as items, not as unlockable skins: a dead survivor drops the Chibi-Phiomia with the rest of the inventory, and it is gone if the death cache is not recovered. The wiki names one exception among chibis, the Genesis Season Pass Chibi-Noglin, of which a new, unleveled copy appears in the inventory after respawning.
