It is an unpopular opinion, but I'm not the biggest fan of them. Whenever I tame Manas, I want to like them. I really do. But I can never warm up to them. I love their speed and ice breath, but I hate their trash stamina and fast stamina drain. I love their look, but I don't like how low the damage they deal is. Maybe one day, when I get the hang of Managarmrs, then I can say they are one of the best. But for now, they're just an average creature for me. I don't like it, but I don't hate it.

Sorry about that, you can find me active on the official mobile server “Leech” in the Dodo legion tribe with other fanfictioners. Now let’s get to the episode.

Corrupted Earth

Episode 17: taming a managarmr

The upgrade had been installed. Dasher could dash three times now and his shield could withstand a managarmr’s ice breath.

“There’s a few people going out to tame a managarmr, you should bring the enforcer with you since his shield can withstand a managarmr’s ice breath.” Said an engineer.

“Got it.” Said Dan. Dasher and Dan exited the upgrade station and headed towards the exit. Once they finally got to the exit, they saw a team of three about to head off into the tundra.

“Are you the people looking to tame a managarmr?” Dan asked one of them.

“That would be correct. Are you here to help us?” Asked one of them.

“Yes, we are here to help. The enforcer, Dasher, has a shield that can withstand the managarmr’s ice breath. And who exactly are all of you? My name is Dan.” Said Dan.

“I’m Hunter, the one the right is Jack, and the one on the left is Justin.” Said Hunter.

“We should get going now.” Said Dan.

“We should.” Hunter agreed. They ventured off into the tundra, until they eventually found a managarmr.

“Be quiet. We don’t want this predator to hear us or see us yet.” Said Hunter.

“I have tranq darts ready.” Said Justin.

“Same here, got my long neck rifle ready.” Said Jack.

“It seems we are ready, shoot your tranqs.” Said Hunter. Just then, Hunter, Jack, and Justin all shot tranq darts at the managarmr, alerting it. The five of them dropped down the cliff side. Dasher enabled his shield, blocked the managarmr’s ice breath. Dasher heard more tranqs fly into the air and hit the managarmr. The managarmr jumped into the air, crashing down into the ground almost hitting Dasher. Dasher heard a few more tranq darts, and then the managarmr fell to the ground, unconscious. Hunter walked up to the unconscious managarmr and fed it prime meat. After a while of feeding the managarmr narcotics and prime meat, it awoke, tamed. They lead the managarmr back to the base, to be greeted by a person in a red tek suit.

Episode 16: the snow base

Dasher and Dan finally got close to the snow base. They were told that it was underground, but it seemed to be on the surface. Dasher approached one of the guards, hoping to get in.

“We can’t let creatures in without permission.” The guard said. Dan walked up to the guard and explained everything. They got permission to enter the huge, metal snow base. Once they got inside, it was warm. The guard had given them directions, so they needed to find the leader of this base and then proceed to one of the tech doctors, or the upgrade station as the guard had called it. Dasher and Dan navigated through the base, but they eventually got to the leader’s room.

“Sir, we cannot let you in without permission.” Said a guard. Dan showed them a card, and then the guard nodded and let them through. Once they got in, it seemed as if the leader had been waiting for them.

“And so you finally arrive, Dasher and Dan.” Said the leader.

“What exactly are you here for?” The leader asked.

“We need an upgrade for Dasher. He was promised an upgrade but the desert base was destroyed.” Said Dan.

“Very well then. You have permission for this, it better be worth it.” The leader said. Dasher and Dan exited the room and made their way to the upgrade station.

“We were told that your enforcer requires an upgrade.” Said one of the engineers at the upgrade station. Dasher walked to the middle of the room and the upgrade installation began.

The moths started biting the wyvern furiously, until all that was visible was a massive blue light, then, the moths cleared, but of the heir there was no sign.

"Why did the moths eat the heir though?" Obsidian asked

"It harmed the tree that gives them food, they defend the tree against anything that could be a danger to it, and it was full of blue glow as well" the drake replied.

"We should get out of this cave before more heirs come though, these moths won't be able to eat them all" going out of the cave, Lupus charged his combustion chamber and leapt towards the distant green smudge on the horizon. They went on for another few days, though there weren't any more of the blue moths, or crystal heirs, thankfully.

When they got to the crystal jungle, they saw a pair of large purple eyes in the shadows, slowly out of the shade came two bright pink wyvern wings, followed by an acid-green head with pink crystals rooted in the back.

"These moths seem to be bringing whatever is glowing to this tree in return for food from it" Bluefeathers said, just then, the sound of water rushing followed by a hiss of steam echoed through the cave "TROPICAL HEIRS!" Bluefeathers said, quickly camouflaging and scuttling towards the sound, Lupus followed the rock drake, to find a green crystal wyvern at the entrance, steam rising out of it's mouth.

Obsidian was nearby, getting ready to flame the wyvern, the wolf, still glowing blue, leapt at it, as the wolf bit the heir, the blue glow spread into it's scales, "wait! I have an idea, get the heir into the cave with the tree!" Bluefeathers's voice said from somewhere to the left,

Doing as they were told, Obsidian and Lupus pushed the crystal wyvern, then ran into the tunnel with the tree, the crystal wyvern looked around for them, and it's tail hit a branch of the tree, snapping it off...

Then, suddenly, all of the blue moths in the cave flew at the wyvern,

Inside the hollow pile of wood, clay and snow there was a small fire, as well as a hole in the wall filled with dead salmon frozen in ice, and another with several sections of mammoth tusks carved with symbols in draconic, which the rock drake instantly picked up in her claw and started reading.

"Who are you?" The black wyvern asked, "who are you?" Lupus replied "I'm Obsidian, and the rock drake is Bluefeathers"

"I am Lupus" Lupus said.

Just then, a small lizard with a very dim light at the tip of it's tail crawled out of the rock Drake's head feathers and over to the fire, where it lay down on a mammoth hide and went to sleep, it's light gradually getting brighter from the heat. "What is that?" He asked, "my glowtail, Glowyrm" Bluefeathers explained "rock drakes keep them for pets and messengers"

"Ah, managarmrs raise one of their namesake animal"

As he said this, a direwolf that had been lounging on a deerskin sat up and walked over.

The Great Splitting/war prologue: Frozenstream looked at the bright blue moon, reflecting onto the snow, ice, and water, making it light enough to see as if it was daytime. She heard the loud howls of Direwolves and Hyenas, before she went to a small stream of water, taking a few laps of the freezing cold water before she heard the screeching of a Mana and a Crystal Wyvern. She sprinted toward where the sound was coming from, looking over a cliff. She saw as The Crystal Wyvern, which was a Blood Crystal Wyvern, and the Mana, which was swiping at it with its front talons, before letting out a beam of frost freezing the Crystal Wyvern, as the Mana threw it off the ledge they were nearing.

Icestream swooped down toward the Mana. “What we’re you thinking? Just letting it’s frozen body shatter into pieces like that, we could have used them for interrogating!” She hissed. “Icestream! Oh Icestream, we already have a few at our camp, I don’t think it really matters anyways, no point interrogating Crystal Wyverns anyways when they’ll all be dead, I think we should just be worrying about some of the Shadowmanes they’ve seemed to be friendly with, their scary.” The Mana said. “Whatever, Snowyam, I think we should go anyways, can’t risk more of them finding us anyways.” Icestream said, looking at the bright blue moon one more time, before she took off into the air, heading toward their camp.

Hi this isn’t fully related to manas but here we go one day I was playing on an extinction server it was a fiber craft server I went into voice chat then I hear someone I asked if they wanted to team and for them to meet me at green ob also for some reason we could talk all the way across the map from one another so then we met up then we went to the ice biome then we started taming 2 manas then we made a base and we kept breeding manas that’s how we bonded over our love of manas we started running around on them just having fun then a few days later after we tamed a yuti and some dire wolves we were getting attacked we tried fighting them but our base was already gone so we started cryo podding our dinos she got killed so I had to go grab her stuff and her dinos then I ran away on my mana with most of my dinos and hers so I ran all the way to the underground forest because they were chasing me so I had to hide them I placed a bed down then we reunited then I saw their drone then next thing I know we were dead then we got off for the day the next day we were so sad cause of the loss of our manas and the rest of our dinos so we took a few days off of ark then we just played fortnite this was like 3 or 4 years ago I still miss her she was my best friend she soon stopped playing in general I miss you

This story is based off my mana Oliver

Chapter 1: An unexpected encounter

It was a hot sunny day, defense units attacking innocent dinos, enforcers patrolling the area, and scouts flying around.

I was longing for adventure, knowing me I couldn't keep myself indoors all day and hanging outside wasn't going to cut it. I looked at the weird dome in the distance, I always pondered what was in there and the more I pondered the more I had the urge to find that out.

Once I made my decision I hopped on my Pteradon and set off for the dome. As I flew above the wasteland that was once earth I spotted tons of dinos with what looked like a purple infection, I couldn't help but wonder what had happened to them for them to become corrupt but that had to wait for another day.

After the journey in the wasteland that was once earth I had successfully made it to the dome I stepped inside and couldn't believe my eyes, it was a tundra! I turned behind me to find that the wasteland had disappeared out of view and been replaced with a snowy mountain range, how could this be possible? I asked myself as I flew throughout the tundra.

After I explored the tundra I made my way towards the blue obelisk, what did I find there? A creature, unconscious, stuck between two rocks.

I was startled! It must have tired itself out while trying to escape, I couldn't leave the poor thing to die! I got rid of the rocks that were trapping the creature and made sure it wasn't hurt. It seemed very exhausted and hungry therefore I decided to feed it some spare meat my Pteradon had. I stayed with it until it had woken up.

The creature seemed grateful and nuzzled it's nose against my cheek as a thank you. What was this creature? I pulled out a little scrap book I made of all the notes I have found along the way, than I found it. The Managarmr dossier, written by Helena Walker. It explained what Managarmrs were like and even included a picture. after seeing that picture it was as clear as day, this creature was a managarmr.

Despite Managarmrs being able to jump I couldn't get the Managarmr over the mountain, I had no other choice but to go back to my base and make a saddle.

After killing everything within a 50 mile radius of my base I had successfully made the managarmr saddle and made my way back to the Managarmr. To my surprise it was still alive! I put the saddle on the Managarmr and made my way back to base.

After getting the Managarmr to my base I started thinking of names for the Managarmr, I was thinking of naming the Managarmr Icee but it didn't seem to like that name. I than tried snowcone but it didn't like that either. After around 15 minutes me and the Managarmr agreed on the name Oliver, I have a feeling me and Oliver will go on many great adventures.
