Tips & Strategies
To the people who say these are useless, they are on of the if not the fastest tame in the ocean except Astrosdelphis and maybe itchy, there attack ignores armor, when you get a ton of them they are absolute killers in the ocean. Easy tame to, just ride itchy and hand it angler jel, it can jump out of the water which makes it even faster, just donβt take it on land or it will die, do not listen to people who say it is useless, just donβt.

Do not listen to the person who said that they only eat angler gel, they can only be tamed with angler gel, they will eat meat after tamed. They won't agro on you if your riding an ichty too. Upβvote
DO NOT BRING IT ON LAND!!!!

In ASA these killer pancakes are great for making orphans for you to adopt.
I was playing in the center and this 135 Theri had a child with it, the Theri was way too close to my base so I lead it to a nearby cliff to drop it into the water. So now it was in the water and I was about to go adopt the youngling but I wanted to look at my work, I peered down only to see the tickle chicken getting ganged on by some Mantas. I got the kill by shooting it with my cross bow.
So TLDR; lead the parent creature to the water with a pack of waiting Mantas then imprint of the newly orphaned csreature
Do not dismount while in midair over sea! Dismounting while in the air will kill it!
Its attack completely bypasses armour, so its potential in PvP is legendary. Also super speed sea mount. And who said these were useless?
Tame like 20 of them, put them all in a single area, agressive on, wandering on, kill everyone
If you position yourself correctly when riding one, only your head will stick out and you won't lose oxygen, this can be used for spying on others.
Dolphins are the Pteranadons of the sea. Mantas are the B**ches of the sea. They aint nice.
You can put these guys in fish baskets!!! They are obviously bigger than the basket but it works
