Chibi-Reindeer — Detailed Guide
Tied to ARK: Winter Wonderland 5
The ARK Wiki links the Chibi-Reindeer to ARK: Winter Wonderland 5 in ARK: Survival Evolved and notes it has been available in every event since. Our records list it in ARK: Survival Ascended too. Equipped, it does what its description promises: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!"
Extra levels for the survivor
A chibi-pet is mostly a cosmetic companion, but it can also be levelled up to five times. Levels come from killing certain predators with the pet equipped. Every level-up adds 1 to the maximum level of whichever survivor has the chibi equipped at that point, permanently, for up to 5 extra levels in total.
The wiki's list of creatures that count includes the Alpha Skeletal Rex, 
Alpha Surface Reaper King, 
Alpha Blood Crystal Wyvern and Alpha Skeletal Carnotaurus. ASE on Steam also counts the Abyssal Alpha T-Rex and 
Alpha Dakosaurus, among others, while ASA adds creatures such as the 
Astral Rock Drake and Alpha Palaeoctopus.
Slot and death rules
ASE puts the Chibi-Reindeer in the off-hand slot; ASA gives it a dedicated chibi slot. The pet appears at the front-left of its survivor and follows them, rides in their lap on a mount and sits nearby when they are in bed. Chibis count as ordinary items: a death drops them with the rest of the inventory, and they are gone unless the death cache is recovered.
Crates and weight
Our records list 3 loot crates that can contain it: Raptor Claus Gift, Fishing Items (Valentine's) and Fishing Meat (Valentine's). It weighs 0 and the stack size is 1.
