Regens health fast near the surface.

Gradually loses health when deep.

Passive oil generator.

Immune to electrophorus and Cnidaria stun and dismount effects.

Cannot be grabbed by tusoteuthis.

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.

Why is this passive?! This has tons of hp and melee. Actually, on second thought… ark, please keep this passive!

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.

Yo to find them check near herb island they do spawn near the shore

WHERE THE BOY BASOS AT?! Play find females around where I went. Please help me find the boys.

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

When you find one of these when you hit them with whatever any water creature nearby will attack you

On the Island, they can be found near herbivore Island

Only one manta on Genesis!! Thank goodness!!

I read on the Ark Wiki that these guys are actually passive don’t let their size and teeth intimidate you but be warned they are most often accompanied by a flock of Mantas which are annoying

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!

If you are playing ark mobile then ride on a icthy because there is a bug where when your on an icthy you won’t get targeted by mantas and megladons

Basilo=popular kid

Mantas=everyone else

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

On The Island, I always find very quickly in the waters near South Beach, around 65 longitude. They're generally not difficult to spot, due to the swarms of Mantas and Ichthyosaurs. Though it's only happened to me once, I've found one stuck between a large rock and the beach itself, at the south edge of the rocky penninsula near 50 longitude.

For some reason, when ever I go around the water surrounding Stone henge (near dodo island), I always find one of them just chilling by the shore with mantas. btw im on mobile

Watch out for its manta cult the ocean pancakes will sacerfice u
