EDIT: stingray, not manta ray.
Imagine you're reading a book (stretching your suspension of disbelief to its limits, I know) about a guy who gets isekaid to a pirate/nautical-themed story, and in the process he gets turned into some kind of fish man. Which of these two fish would you prefer: shark, or stingray?
Shark Pros: simple, familiar, intimidating, built in cool factor.
Shark Cons: possibly cliche, everyone uses sharks.
Ray Pros: not widely used, unique body shape could be used creatively, built in butt sword, wings for gliding maybe?
Ray Cons: more complicated, needs more explanation, gliding makes people complain about scientific inaccuracies, steve irwin.
Ray Guns: pew pew
