* ''Franchise/StarWars'' has the Selkath, an anthropomorphic manta-like species from the planet Manaan. The entire species had a peaceful reputation throughout the galaxy, but by the time of the [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Clone Wars]], a handful of Selkath {{Bounty Hunter}}s such as [[SinisterStingrays Chata Hyoki]] and [[AmbushingEnemy Mantu]] had ruined countless species' perception of their kind with their uncharacteristic brutality.

* ''VideoGame/SkyChildrenOfTheLight'' features these all over the place:
** Manta-like creatures of light first turn up substantially in the second realm of the game, the Daylight Prairie. In their debut area, the bells used to summon them have been silenced by darkness plants; after burning away the plants around each of the three bells, then lighting the candles beneath them, the chiming bells call a handful of large mantas from beneath the sea of clouds to carry you up to the temple.
** Daylight Prairie also has the Sanctuary Islands starting from the Season of Sanctuary, inhabited by small jellies and large mantas. One particularly large manta even flies in a patrolling loop around the summit of the main island.
** The Hidden Forest gains some in the Season of Flight, when the clouds pull back to reveal [[WarpZone the Wind Paths]], a series of islands that lead all over the kingdom of Sky.
** The [[{{Crossover}} Season of AURORA]] features the song [[Music/AuroraSinger ''Warrior of Love'']], in which players can hitch a ride around the Valley of Triumph's Aviary room with a manta.
** The Vault of Knowledge takes the (candle) cake; like the Daylight Prairie, it also features manta-style beings, but this level's mantas are spirits of light that help ferry Skykids up through the floors of the Vault. They become increasingly common as you ascend, and as you near the Elder's resting place, you eventually encounter a positively ''colossal'' manta-like being who dwarfs even the one in the Sanctuary Islands.



* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'': Alderaan is inhabited by "thrantas", docile manta ray-like creatures that fly in the air rather than swim. They're commonly used as beasts of burden by the Alderaanians, including providing the in-game taxi service from any location other than the two factional spaceports (normally either a landspeeder, speeder bike, or skyhopper on other planets).
** The earlier game, ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' also had thrantas flying around Dantooine, which were quite harmless compared to the Kath hounds.
* In some levels of ''VideoGame/TreasuresOfTheDeep'', the player can get off their submersible and ride on the back of a manta ray to find a hidden area with extra treasure.
