Carefull around these guys. They're like the raptors of the water, lost my newly tamed basilosaurus to these heartless animals... Rest well, Bessie, I loved listening to your singing T_T
More Manta Encountering Tips
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!
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.
I’ve done it… all manta cripple before me and basi they swarm and attack, but that was their last mistake. Get basi!!!!
They are aggressive in real life too. RIP Steve Irwin.
They say passive tame because YOU are the one that’s supposed to be passive, same way it says “non-violent” it’s talkin bout you NOT the actual tame, sheesh
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.
This guy killed my lystro and dodo, i am crippled and sad
exploring the coast with an Ichthyosaurus and a lv 47 basilosaurus.
ganged up on by 5+ mantas.
the basilosaurus got stuck and died in seconds.
the ichthyosaurus died too.
my ascendant chitin armor set broke with just a few hits, and I died.
this thing is truly a nightmare.
