Chibi-Spring Shinehorn — Detailed Guide
The Shinehorn chibi from Eggcellent Adventure 7
The Chibi-Spring Shinehorn is a chibi-pet in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The wiki, which writes it as Chibi Spring Shinehorn, ties it to Eggcellent Adventure 7 and says it has been available in every event since. The version that added it is 345.6.
What equipping it does
The pet is above all decorative, but its description spells out a second role: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!" Each of its five level-ups permanently adds 1 to the equipped survivor's maximum level, for up to 5 extra levels. Kills that feed it include the 
Alpha Deathworm, 
Alpha Surface Reaper King, 
Alpha Mosasaur and 
Enraged Corrupted Rex. In ASA the Astral Boaratos, Astral Deinosuchus and Alpha Palaeoctopus also count, and in ASE on Steam the Abyssal Alpha T-Rex and 
Alpha Tridacna.
Equipment slot and behaviour
ASE puts it in the off-hand slot; ASA has a Chibi slot for it. It sits in your lap on a mount and settles nearby when you are in bed. It counts as an item, not an unlocked skin: dying drops it with your other gear, and it is gone if you do not get that back.
Crates and weight
Our records list 2 crate types that can contain it, the Valentine's fishing crates Fishing Items (Valentine's) and Fishing Meat (Valentine's), on maps such as Extinction, Genesis Part 1 and Crystal Isles. It weighs 0 and stacks to 1.
