Mantas are gentle flying creatures in Sky Children of the Light, the social adventure game from thatgamecompany first released in 2019. Players meet them in bright cloud filled realms, where their calls and honks guide movement and restore light while gliding. Clips of the smallest mantas began circulating in fan edits and soundboards because the baby call is unusually short and expressive. It has stayed popular as a reaction sound for cute discoveries, friendly greetings and wholesome moments, separate from the game's calmer exploration and music.
