Overview
The Aberrant Manta is a rare aquatic carnivore variant found in cave systems and fertile zones. It is tamed passively using AnglerGel, making it a unique gatherer for underwater resources. Players typically tame it to harvest Raw Fish Meat efficiently while swimming in deep or enclosed areas.
It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment to remote underwater sites.
