[Monsters 2021] 023-024/365 - Manta Rays

Added 2021-02-03 16:00:04 +0000 UTC

A manta ray is a large fish with a diamond-shaped body. They grow to incredible lengths, the largest of their kind growing as long as 15 to 20 feet. Most manta rays are found in tropical and sub-tropical waters.

Manta rays are macropredators, meaning they only eat krill, shrimp, and other small species of marine life, through which they consume with their filter feeder mouths. Unaggressive, rays use their large size and speed to defend themselves. If pressed, however, they will whip creatures with their long tails.

Queen/King Ray

The largest of their species, the king/queen rays are colossal creatures found at the center of schools of rays. These beasts can grow up to 150-feet long. In addition to defending themselves the way typical manta rays do, queen/king rays also possess a sonic attack which they can use to debilitate creatures who seek to harm their protectorates.
