Don’t waste time trying to trap it with Dino gates. Build a pen and eat a rare flower and it will agro on you all the way to your pen. Use an owl so you can heal yourself because these things ice beam attack targets the rider. Owls heal their riders.

Ok these things are the fastest creature in ark when mounted by a human. They are great for supply runs, and just generally excellent during events. Christmas event? Can easily get supply drops. Thanksgiving or Halloween events? Can easily fly around the map at light speed and find limited time dinos. They also have less damage reduction with their freeze breath on super turkeys. They are fabulous on every map, and I have found them useful getting around th eclipse of Valguero.

Use a large bear trap to trap them :)

Net Projectiles work on manas along side the quetzal and wyverns but they dont work on rexes and gigas

The only land dino in game that when wild or unridden spends more time in the air in combat than on land.

So yeah, look up, if you can’t see one flipping the hell out it’s probably stuck in the air somewhere.

Very easy to tame, once you knock it out (I.e, flak and shooting it with tranqs, freezing with snow owl when it gets low) you can immediately Feed, as their food drains as they fight you.

WAY TO OP ON PVP JUST FREEZES U AND U CANT DO NAYTHING ABOUT IT!!! DONT ENGAGE IN COMBAT WILL MURDER U UNLESS U HAVE A GOOD MOUNT

Very mobile, can jump as many times as you have stamina for. (Jump high, dash forward.)

Also has a Ice-Ray. (Extremely stamina costly.)

I found one in astraeos also near the snow mountains.

Just found one on Astreos. Haven’t seen anything about them being there.

You see one player on it it's to late

If you have your base raided by these almost daily, I have some tips for you

1. Don’t build on the beach, people jump servers and will find you with ease. Try building it somewhere in a forest, or somewhere where finding a base is extremely uncommon. One of the best ways to get raided less is to never build in the outskirts of the map

2. Try a different map, the island is a huge target for server jumpers and will cause you to get raided very often

3. Make a base out of the strongest material possible, wood will almost never work, stone can protect you for a little big, and metal is way safer. Even a metal 1x1 with a smithy in it can sometimes help you save your items after a raid

4. Try to protect your base using turrets (plant species x or y isn’t recommended but can be used if desperate.) Otherwise try to get stronger Dino’s to kill off any raiders

5. Keep a small base hidden somewhere so you can get back on track quickly when raided.

6. Try to get an alpha tribe to help you get off to a good start

I really hope these tips can help you to get good in a server. Always try a new server or base location if you are always getting raided when you are in the same spot.

These Creatures can only jump 3 times and a dash (Left Click, R2 or Right Trigger in mid-air) will not count as one. Thei ability to glide in mid-air while freezing their target proves useful to tribes. Like most mammals they have a gestation period which means you dont have to perfect a temperature to breed them. Level pure stam and Health. (The closer you are to the target while freezing it the more damage)

I had to search multiple times for the controls of this thing on console and I finaly found it. X to jump, foward, left, or right while junping to move shortly. R2 while in air for massive boost. Hold L2 for Ice beam, if you jump and use ice beam on the ground you hover but move backwards. On the ground, R2 is melee attack. L3 is sprint. Hope this helps!

I found one around the snowy mountains on Astraeos at about 11 long, 98.6 lat. They haven't yet showed that it spawns on this map, but it does.

I don’t know if its on all maps but on gentwo it can just get stuck in air and can’t attack or move then just fly on top of it and knock it out

On evolved at least, they recover stamina faster unmounted.

For pve players, yes the nerf changed them completely however they are still very good in my opinion. A leveled up imprinted from 150 wild parents is way faster than wyverns. And if you are playing slightly boosted servers and you’re lucky enough to get your hands a 755 longneck with shocking darts, it only takes a few shots and I didn’t have to trap him at all

Gets stuck on Rock Drakes if they dive into one.

There’s a glitch that causes manas to be stuck in the air not landing and slowly fly off to the sky border even if whistled, this can happen to manas wild or tamed. You can stop this by equipping a saddle on them while your standing on a griffin or quetzal and riding it.
