The clip comes from gameplay of Sky Children of the Light, where mantas glide through the clouds and players interact with young mantas during exploration. Short recordings of their small honking calls began circulating as isolated soundboard clips separate from full gameplay videos. Because the sound is so brief and distinct, creators reuse it as a standalone cue for cuteness, surprise or a silly greeting. It stays popular because it needs no context to understand, works over games and real pets alike, and instantly signals a light, friendly tone.
