Chibi-Queen Bee

A queen bee in chibi size

Our database lists the Chibi-Queen Bee for ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, on 5 maps: The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction and Lost Colony. The ARK Wiki ties it to Eggcellent Adventure 7 and says it has been available in every event since; 345.6 is the version that added it. Like other chibi-pets it is cosmetic first, with one practical bonus: more survivor levels.

Raising the level cap

The in-game text sets the goal: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!" Kills of certain predators made while the pet is equipped give it experience, up to five level-ups. Each level-up permanently gives the survivor who has it equipped at that moment 1 extra maximum level, for 5 at most. The qualifying list includes the Alpha Blood Crystal Wyvern, Alpha Skeletal Fire Wyvern, Enraged Corrupted Rex, Alpha Skeletal Raptor and Alpha Skeletal Carnotaurus. ASA-only additions include the Astral Argentavis, Astral Boaratos and Enraged Lightning Triceratops; on ASE, Steam only, the Abyssal Alpha T-Rex and Alpha Tridacna also count.

Where it sits and what happens on death

ASE uses the off-hand slot for it, ASA a slot reserved for chibis. When the survivor is mounted it rests in their lap, and in bed it sits close by. The pet is a plain item: dying leaves it in the death cache with the rest of the inventory, and it is kept only if that cache is recovered.

Crates that can hold it

Our records list 3 crate types that can contain it: Fishing Items (Valentine's), Fishing Meat (Valentine's) and Raptor Claus Gift. It weighs 0 and has a stack size of 1.
