Chibi-Pets
Chibi-Pets are miniature pets serving primarily as cosmetic items, but also offering a level cap increase as discussed below. Unlike unlockable skins, they are considered just items - they're dropped along with other items in the survivor's inventory upon death, and will be lost if the death cache is not retrieved; the only exception is the Genesis Season Pass exclusive Chibi-Noglin as a new, unleveled can be found in the inventory after respawn.
They are equipped in the off-hand slot - the pet then appears to the front-left of the survivor, and follows their movement and direction they're facing. While riding mounts chibi-pets remain in the survivor's lap, and while in bed they sit nearby. Note that for the Tek Sleeping Pod 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.

Obtaining
These ways of obtaining are generalized according to their main event. Years may differ, but their method of obtaining are generally the same.
ARK: Winter Wonderland
Most chibis can only be found from Presents dropped by Raptor Claus, or from the regular Gacha Crystals dropped by GachaClaus. Specific type of Chibis can only be obtained from either of the two.
ARK: Love Evolved
Most chibis may be obtained while fishing for Coelacanth with an amorous (heart) effect with only Fishing Rod. Fish Net does not yield any chance of a chibi.
ARK: Eggcellent Adventure
Eggs from wild bunny Dodos can be placed and cracked. Cracking an egg has a 20% chance to drop a Chibi-Pet. This can only happen during the event and eggs saved for when the event is over will not have this option.
ARK: 5th Anniversary
Cakes found from harvesting from dead Party Dodo can be used in a Cooking Pot as a recipe for crafting random Chibi-Pets.
ARK: Summer Bash
Random Chibi-Pets may be crafted in a Cooking Pot from 10 Prime Meat Jerky.
ARK: Fear Evolved
Random Chibi-Pets may either be found from remains of killed Dodorex or Dodo Wyvern, or crafted with 5 × Pumpkin, 5 × Scarecrow and 5 × Stolen Headstone in Cooking Pot.
ARK: Turkey Trial
A random Chibi-Pet can be crafted from a single Wishbone inside a Cooking Pot. Alternatively, the player can craft a guaranteed rare or better Chibi-Pet from 5 × Wishbone.
Recycling
4 Chibi-Pets can be smelted in a Refining Forge to craft 1 random Chibi-Pet. Rarity are random, and does not account for what rarity of chibis are being smelted. Existing forges will not let you smelt Chibis (long standing bug, that after map load existing forges will loose the Chibi forge ability). You need to place a new one.
Rarity
When obtaining a chibi, you have roughly an ~89.28% chance of receiving a chibi from the common list, a ~9.92% chance of receiving a chibi from the uncommon list, ~0.5% chance for one from the rare list, ~0.2% chance from the very rare list, and a ~0.1% chance of receiving a chibi from the legendary list.
Since the start of ARK: 5th Anniversary, colors of Chibi-Pet icons are denoted by their rarity, similar to Supply Crates.

Re-rolling
4 chibi pets can be sacrificed in a stone forge (not an industrial forge) to get 1 new random chibi. This can be used to try to obtain rare chibis.
Notes
- Chibi are considered super-deformed versions of the original, hence why almost all of the chibis here have a large head with small body. [1] The only exceptions are Chibi-Dodo and Chibi-Pulmonoscorpius, whose head:body ratio is unchanged.
- Originally, when the survivor was sitting on a mount, the chibi-pet was not visible, as it was inside the mount.
- There is an occasional issue that results in all chibi experience being lost, however the levels gained will remain.
- Pair-o-Saurs chibi currently has a dino icon that does not exist in any of the known dinos.
- Multiple Chibis can be leveled up, but will not extend the level cap past the 5 first levels.
- If a survivor gets their first Chibi to level 4 (having their level cap increased by 4), and then finds another Chibi which they start to level up, the second Chibi (or any subsequent) will not increase the level cap until it reaches a level high enough to surpass player's bonus.
- The Chibi-Noglin will not give a new pet for recycling in a forge.
