PASSIVE!? THAT WORD IS MORE UNTRUE THAN WHEN MY BROTHER SAID THERE WAS NO MORE ICECREAM LEFT!!,

Place a stone foundation then 4 stone door frames and a hatch frame on top get it to agro onto you and use the structure as a sort of shark cage if it goes away just reapt it getting agro on you

When I was still a noob and didn’t know anything I saw 3 mantas, I didn’t know if they were aggressive so I went to check if they were at first for some unknown reason it didn’t attack me they just acted like ichthyosauruses so I thought they were passive but then when I tamed a low level ichthyosaurus the mantas started killing my ichthyosaurus I was like WHAT I THOUGHT U GUYS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PASSIVE then it killed my ichthyosaurus, i went to check again but this time they killed me R.I.P me and my ichthyosaurus

Tip: DONT BE STUPID LIKE ME

If you tame and go in the water on everything try’s to kill it.

They stalk you if you have an Itchy. They follow you into the shallows then attack. Annoying things. Kill them from range. They are hostile.

To the idiot who said they only eat gels,they also eat fish meat.

I found that in shallow water a giga is perfect for killing swarms of these guys but don’t go in to deep water gigas are terrible swimmers and will drown easily

Ok so basicly use a sarco or icthy to lure it to shore then feed it angler gel grill it’s tamed

I was swimming back to base on my sarco and when I get back to base I turn it off I come back to find my sarco missing but not dead me 17 days later: let’s explore the ocean on our Meg next thing I see is a sarco swimming in the ocean killing mantas fortunately I brought sarco back to base and tail stunned them with my baryonyx

Get a basilosaurus and get the manta you want to tame, agro it to the balsilo and you will be able to tame the manta since its attacking the basilo instead of you. (The basilos food will drain quickly so get it some food)

Can no longer grab with Kapro :'(

These guys often commit suicide by sliding up onto the beach, which can be an easy source of fish meat in the super early levels.

This is not passive it is aggressive it will act friendly for a while

My only question is why do they eat angler gel but they usually swim at the Shores and anglers usually swim near the bottom of the sea?

It takes a loong to eat the second time, be patient

I had to spend about an hour trying to get angler gel

This BEAST killed my stego and my turtle and my icthy plus my Meg barely survived. DANGEROUS CREATURE.

It says non-violent because you don’t knock it out to tame! It’s a passive tame :)

They are dangerous! I thought they were passive lol

Since they nerfed their speed they aren’t worth taming. A dolphin will be faster, the manta does a little more damage but it’s still horrible in combat.
