Chibi-Tek Stryder — Detailed Guide
One chibi, two names
This chibi-pet is called Chibi-Stryder in ARK: Survival Ascended and 
Chibi-Tek Stryder in ARK: Survival Evolved. It first came out in the Turkey Trial 6 event of ASE (patch 354.4) and has been offered in every event since. The ASE description reads: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!" The ASA item text, by contrast, only names it as the 
Tek Stryder chibi-pet.
Levels for your survivor
Chibi-pets are largely cosmetic but carry a level-cap bonus. Killing certain predators with the pet equipped levels it up, five times in all, and each level-up permanently raises the max level of the survivor wearing it by 1 (up to 5). Among the kills that count are the 
Alpha Blood Crystal Wyvern, Alpha Skeletal Rex, 
Alpha Surface Reaper King and Enraged Corrupted Triceratops. ASE adds Steam-only entries such as the Abyssal Alpha T-Rex and 
Alpha Chrysaora; ASA adds entries like the 
Alpha Hulking Revenant, 
Astral Tusoteuthis and 
Enraged Lightning Rex.
Slot and death rules
The pet takes the off-hand slot in ASE and the dedicated chibi slot in ASA. It keeps a spot ahead of you and to your left as you move, sits in your lap while you ride and stays near you in bed. A chibi is a normal item, not an unlockable skin: dying drops it with your inventory, and an unrecovered death cache means losing it.
Crates and weight
Our records count 2 crate types that can contain it, Fishing Items (Valentine's) and Fishing Meat (Valentine's). It weighs 0, stacks to 1 and has a crafting XP value of 12.
