## **Mechanics**

* Oarfish evolve into Manta Ray.
	+ 48,000 XP is required for an Oarfish to evolve into a Manta Ray.
* Manta Ray does not evolve into any other animals, as they are a tier 10 animal.
* Manta Ray drop meat upon death.
* As a Manta Ray, friendly fire is turned off for all tier 1 animals: meaning you cannot damage them nor be damaged by them.
* After 15 minutes without change all animals/buffs are removed from your aura. An adjustment likely introduced to encourage constant adaptation. Added in the same update the Whale's (And other similar animals) ability to suck buffs out of your aura was removed.
* The Manta Ray can be easily countered by a Whale's ability, it will suck in all animals the Manta Ray was carrying and will make it defenceless. [REMOVED]
