Passive Tame.
In crystal isles, these guys spawn in the tropical beach area in the southwest of map, it’s not common, but they can. Arrow so people can see this
Watch out for its manta cult.
In real life these were vicious carnivores that would have killed and eaten a human on sight and lived mostly in shallow waters and swam up rivers looking for food they were also twenty metres long, good thing the developers didn't make them more realistic or crossing rivers would be a dream until you have a flyer.
I used my Baryonyx to tame one of these guys (went to herbivore island to find one). There was SO many mantas but it was fine I used my bary to lead them to me then stun and kill them, it wasn’t hard at all. Taming was easy as well since I used the kibble. (On mobile btw), so just have a baryonyx by your side and go to herbivore island and you’ll be set.
Was swimming and i see this and the mantas start attacking me and my meg and sadly he died upv0t3 so my meg can rest in peace
Seems everything flocks to it mantas and icthy, be careful while swimming near cause they can body block you and you be killed.
Take a Baryonyx or a powerful swimming creature to kill off the Manta's and then go in for the tame
Only one manta on Genesis!! Thank goodness!!
I keep thinking I hear Lugia. Also this thing kills tusos and alpha megs easy. Only advice for alpha megs is to stay near the surface of the water for healing boost while fighting and when the Meg tries circling to reposition itself just stay where you are and let the stamina be restored. It’s not just the mouth that does damage, it’s the hips too. Might name my next one Shakira!
