The Manta or Giant Flying Manta are placeholder names given to a large flying creature that roams the world.
Behavior[]
The Manta glides through the sky, and it is accompanied by swarms of small bird creatures. It seems to patrol in a fixed path. The Manta and its flock are immune to the engineer's attacks. The Engineer can jump onto it and take a ride.[1] Doing so generally requires a Jetpack or tall Ladder. Take caution as the engineer can only stay on the center part of its body.
It can fly through engineer-made tall structures. Its body emits blue lights during the night. Its current purpose seems to be merely decoration.

Trivia[]
- The Manta at the Grass Land takes exactly 5 minutes to make a round trip.
- If the engineer is building factories in the Manta's path, the engineer can sometimes be pushed away by the Manta.
