Not worth taming, these guys deal decent damage, average only on land, best for daily rewards only. Best way to kill a school of these is to use spino, easy fish meat too.

First you want to cuddle with it but you see another "What ever,twice the fun." you think. But then "A third, no fourth, no sixth, no tenth, MY SARCO!!! NO I DIED AND LOST A JOURNEY MAN CROSSBOW AND MY SCUBA GEAR." Looks at level of mantas /level 4/ "Lil shit."

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

Go within a 10000000000 mile radius if u want to find one

If you see one of them you know what to do {avenge Steve!!!}

If you dont know how to effectivly fight these, dont. You may learn the hard way.

This thing will attack you through armor. I got my 500 armor and 700 durability FLAK CHESTPLATE rekt by this little son of a.... Basically armor doesn't work against this creature, might as well kill it.

I didn’t know they were aggressive until 50 of them came at me!!

Stupid death pankakes killed my barry and my meg im sad

DO NOT TRY TO TAKE ON THESE GUYS!!! I saw a group of 5-6 take down a turtle in the water!

Ironically called the "Manta", you would think it would be harmless. You'd be wrong. Where there is one, they'll often be other nearby.

Do not disturb.

So, they definitely aggro on an icthy, on console at least. And I was taming a basilo in the Abyss of Valg, didn’t feed it even once, just got close on my icthy, had 3 with me, the mantas aggro on my icthys, kill all three after I dismounted and then tried to defend myself with a mastercraft pike, got killed near the very top, like ceiling of the cave area. So I go back on my max level meg, no bag, no death beacon anywhere. Just dead manta bodies. So did my death make me glitch into the mesh of the ceiling? Would really love to get my 5 SCUBA tanks, brand new harpoon gun and that pike. Anybody else ever experience no death beacons in the underwater ocean of Valg?? Pls help.

Beware they are evil they killed my wyvern lesson learned stay high never run out of stam

They are aggressive. My moschops and I were seriously killed by two mantas and Cnidaria

I have 15 of these evil creatures swarming the shallow wear I get m Silaca Pearls

(I never thought Ark would make this a thing)

If you see one of those, you will see his family in any second. Even if they have a low lvl, their damage are insanly high

Guys, jeez, passive tames can be aggriesive. Chalicotheriums are aggriessive, and they are aggriessive, and people don’t argue in the chalicotherium section. Jeez, I just ended a war.

These guys are mega underrated, especially in packs because they attack so quickly. 8 of them killed my level 88 basilo with 17k health in a matter of seconds 😳

These things almost need to be nerfed. They are super fast, infact I almost lost a Megalodon to these things, darn. These things have wayyyy to much melee, speed, and Argo distance, they can be annoying. But they can be stopped! Use bug repellent to not make mantas Argo.

If u are a newbie on the island and u live near mantas do not go in the water! NO MATTER WHAT IT IS IF IT IS NOT A FISH IT WILL GO TO KILL MODE.
