Manta rays

Manta rays are undersea creatures characterized by their flat bodies, triangular pectoral fins, horn-shaped cephalic fins and large, forward-facing mouths. Without question, they are one of the funkier marine animals you are ever likely to find. Manta rays are usually found in tropical waters and can grow up to twenty-three feet wide.

The DC Comics super-villain Black Manta takes his name from the great Manta ray. He occasionally employs underlings, his Manta Men, whose physicality resembles that of a humanoid Manta ray.
