Attention: If anyone knows advanced strategies for specific tier 10s, please let me know! I am making a separate guide for more advanced players! :D
"Link with up to 4 fish to increase your stats. Charge a full boost to release the clones."
Default speed: 100
HP: 900
Damage: 120
Armor: 30%
Boosts: 3
Evolves from: Oarfish
Oxygen time: 20 seconds (Out of water)
Temperature time: 10 seconds (In arctic)
Pressure time: 20 seconds (In deeeep and deeeep swamp)
Salinity time: 20 seconds (In swamp and deeeep swamp)
Manta rays can live in the kelp forest, open ocean, reef, estuary, and deeeep!
Abilities:
Boosting will make the manta ray lunge forward and deal 150 damage.
Manta rays have an aura around them that absorbs animals on tier 7 and below (except piranhas).
When an animal is absorbed, it will get some XP every time the manta ray eats.
The aura can hold up to four animals.
The animal can choose to leave the aura, but a clone of it will remain in the aura.
Using a charged boost will clear the aura, not using a boost bar.
Individual animals in the aura can be removed using a menu above the HP bar at the bottom of the screen.
Most animals that the manta ray absorbs augment the manta ray.* The full list is below:
Clownfish: +7 speed
Icefish: 3x regeneration speed when staying still
Blobfish: +10 seconds pressure time
Worm: Decrease animals' speed by 20 when boosting into them for 1 second

*Blobfish, lampreys, hermit crabs, and bobbit worms can be absorbed by manta ray auras, but they do not affect the manta rays.
Manta rays cannot damage or be damaged by animals on tier 1 (except for worm and piranha).
Strategies: Manta rays are VERY diverse animals, and their strategy relies on what animals they are linked up with. Don't play this animal unless you are skilled at playing with multiple other tier 10s. Build your setup and use it however you think it does best.
