Chibi-Pets

Chibi-Pets are a type of Item added in ARK: Winter Wonderland 4, appearing in other Events since.

These miniature pets are primarily a cosmetic item, except for leveling as discussed below, equipped by the survivor in the off-hand slot. When equipped, the chibi-pet appears in front and to the left of the survivor. Moving around causes the pet to follow and reposition itself where the survivor is facing. The chibi-pets are seen in the survivor's lap while riding mounts, and sit nearby while in a bed. Note that for the the pets still follow the position, except facing upwards at the survivor's right, since survivors sleep on their backs in the pods instead of on their sides.

Chibi-Pets can be leveled up five times by killing certain predators while having the pet equipped. Each level up permanently increases the maximum level by 1 (up to 5 extra levels) of the survivor who's got the chibi equipped at the time of a level-up. The following creatures award Experience to the Chibi-Pets:

Received experience only scales with game-wide XP multipliers, and is not affected by the Explorer Notes buff.

Chibi-Pets are items and will not appear in your inventory after you die. They will be left in the corpse or bag where you died. An exception to this is the, which will always appear in your inventory upon respawn as long as you own the Genesis Season Pass. Keep in mind, however, that this new Chibi is just that: new. It will be at level one, with no experience.

Experience Requirements
Note: level 100 equals 5777 ChibiXP on SP/Rental.

Although Ragnaroks counts as an Alpha Deathworm, she grants no ChibiXP.
