About

The Manta is a fish-type creature found in aquatic environments across base ARK maps. It requires no DLC, so it is available on any standard server without additional content installed.

Admins most commonly reference the Manta when adjusting spawn rates, setting up creature spawner configurations, or using admin commands to force-spawn one for testing purposes. Its entity ID Manta_Character_BP_C and name tag Manta are the values to use in those contexts.

Because it belongs to the Fish creature type, population settings that target fish as a category will affect Mantas alongside other members of that group. Keep this in mind when tuning NPC spawn entries or suppressing specific creature types on a map.

SpawnDino takes the full blueprint path followed by spawn distance, Y offset, Z offset and level, so you can place the Manta Creature precisely instead of dropping it on top of your character.
