Not alot is known about the '''Manta'''. Everything that can be learned about it is in the Warcraft novel, [[Day of the Dragon]]. At a certain point of this book, [[Krasus]] or [[Korialstrasz]] as they call him in his dragon form, needs to talk with the Dragon Aspect [[Ysera]]. To do this he takes a small vial of black liquid and then it is said, 3 drops of this liquid on the arrow of a crossbow killed the Manta, a creature 10 times bigger than Deathwing that was thought to be invisible by almost everyone. He called the beast, Behemoth of the Deeps.

Some say the Manta was somehow linked to the Old Gods but chances of that are low since 4 of the 5 Old Gods were banished in the Elemental Plane ( 3 since C'thun is now dead )and the 5th God was slain but not with an arrow...with a sword.
