Thread: Cannot Sample?

I came across this too today on Kashyyyk. I tried a couple times and got the message. I did a quick /ex on the creature and saw that it didn't have any stats listed, just "Creature looks like you'll kill it easily" or whatever.
I tried other creatures nearby and didn't have a problem (they showed stats such as Tamable when I examined them)
I had this happen last night with a whole group of creatures outside Coronet that I was trying to Sample in order to get the right DNA to fill a request for a mountable Non-CH Dewback.
I had been Sampling Crazed Durnies and when I cleared the spawn I was working on, I went to Sample a Gurcat I saw nearby (since both creatures are CL 8 and I was after that level of DNA). I was unable to Sample the Gurcat, and /examined it to see this very thing you mention. The Durnies had then respawned, so I tried to Sample them again, but could not... and when I /examined them, I saw the same thing.
I am also wondering if this could be related to the "Can't Tame" bug that has been plaguing CHs... because a baby Crazed Durnie spawned and I was unable to tame it... and an /examine showed the same non-information. Yet when I went to Tatooine I was able to both Sample and Tame Cu Pas from a lair I found there.
