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!

This guy killed my lystro and dodo, i am crippled and sad

Non violent?! Bruh this dude is suuuupper violent .

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

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.

Guys, it says passive tame because you do not have to knock it out.

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

Ark devs make this thing less OP, passive, and just easier to tame. I tried to tame itchy and it killed me. Do not encounter at all not even at hight lv like 47

This swimming pancake doesn't like people who want to tame ichty's. Just wanted to warn ya.

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.
