Chibi-Tusoteuthis

A Turkey Trial 4 chibi-pet

The Chibi-Tusoteuthis is a chibi-pet in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended that the wiki links to ARK: Turkey Trial 4, with 318.9 as the version that added it. Our records show 2 crate types that can contain it, Fishing Items (Valentine's) and Fishing Meat (Valentine's), and list The Island as its map.

Earning max levels with it

In-game it reads: "Earn XP from Alpha creature kills when equipped, to increase its level and earn additional max-levels for your Survivor!" The pet can level up five times. At each level-up the survivor wearing it gets 1 more permanent max level, up to 5 extra levels in total. XP comes from killing certain predators while it is equipped; in both games the list includes the Alpha Tusoteuthis, Alpha Fire Wyvern, Alpha Blood Crystal Wyvern and Alpha Surface Reaper King. ASA adds creatures such as the Astral Tusoteuthis, Alpha Palaeoctopus and Enraged Lightning Triceratops, and ASE on Steam adds others such as the Alpha Water Wyvern.

Wearing and keeping it

It goes into the off-hand slot in ASE and into the Chibi slot in ASA. The pet keeps up with its survivor, sits in their lap while they ride and stays near their bed while they sleep. In a Tek Sleeping Pod it faces upward at the survivor's right, since survivors lie on their backs in those pods. It weighs 0 and stacks to 1. Chibi-pets are items, not unlocked skins, so on death this one drops along with everything else in the inventory.
