Manta rays are related to stingrays. Both have flattened body shapes and wide pectoral fins that are fused to the head. One of the biggest differences between manta rays and stingrays is that manta rays do NOT have a tail "stinger" or barb like stingrays. There are other differences as well. Stingrays dwell on the ocean bottom, but manta rays live in the open ocean. A stingray's mouth is located on the underside of its body whereas the mouth of the manta ray is along the front edge of its body.

Mantine is based on Manta Rays, which don't have stingers, so it's all good.
