ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These are in the my top 3 most hated creatures in ark, (1st and 2nd being the leech and the lamprey). Reason why I hate mantas: They are ugly in my opinion; a full on gang of more than 10 of these interfered while I was taming sharks which was to help fight these annoying things off; and finally, when I tried to tame an itchyosaurus so I could explore the sea, these chased me back into the shore.

So I once found one of these little sh*ts and thought it was passive like real mantas.
Do not go up to it
It will sting u and everyone in the water!
It is a killer pancake!
I repeat a killer pancake!
It killed me 16 times stay away unless you have a bow
Non violent?! Bruh this dude is suuuupper violent .
If you are planning on doing anything involving water prepare to despise these flat horrors. They can out swim you. They can swarm you. They can act friendly and once you turn your back eat your tame. Beware.
Kill them All. Revenge for Steve. Never forget Never forgive.
They are aggressive in real life too. RIP Steve Irwin.
They are passive if you are on an ichthy
They say passive tame because YOU are the one thatโs supposed to be passive, same way it says โnon-violentโ itโs talkin bout you NOT the actual tame, sheesh
This guy killed my lystro and dodo, i am crippled and sad
If caught in open water by a manta fight don't flee. If you have a spear or pike swim up as it gets close. This keeps you above it attack area and puts you in striking range. The manta is slower moving up and down in the water.
