oh well, i got this "assignment" to make a rancor for some dude with intimidate and poison.
So i went to endor and sampled some bordok foal ( intimidate and some other special) and venom filled arachne (strong poison and some other special)
The foal has intimidate in special 1 and the arachne has strong poison in special 2.
Now iv tried in various different ways to combine these but no matter what i try its either intimidate and something else or strong poison and something else, not both of them together.
So is there anyon who knows for a fact or can give some tips to what i shall try to achieve this?
Thanks!

The aggression slot tends to determine special 2, and the psychological slot tends to determine special 1. Some people apparently get the same results for special 1 from the mental slot. But also if you have too many samples for other specials in the other slots, it can make that special surface in the clone. So if you have DNA in agression that has a special 1 of strong poison, and in all the other DNA slots you have stunning strike, it's possible that you will get stunning strike instead of strong poison.
But sometimes even that doesn't help. So in cases like that, I tend to find that breeding the traits down into a lower CL creature tends to help both of them stick together. Unfortunately that's only really useful for making non-CH pets as it really lowers the CL of the end result.

If they only care about the specials use Angler DNA, it has strong poison and intimidate.
If they want good stats then your best bet is to mix and match, you should come out with a very nice pet if you put gurreck DNA for Attack (hits intimidate in special 2) and horned voritor for the rest (ensures strong poison in special 1).
As for what slot does what, I normally have very good success getting special 1 from health, but I guess people are getting it from mind and psych.
And the whole system seems to be jacked anyway. I have about a 90% success rate getting a ranged attack if I put ranged DNA in the mind slot, but just the other day I was making pets with ranged in health and agression, and non-ranged in the others, and the 3rd of 4 pets ended up having a ranged attack. Doesn't make sense to me, hehe.

well now iv tested with various of the tips u gave me but no result.
Its either this or that never this and that
It seems it tend to get both the specials from the dna in aggression

Have you tried creating clones of the right level for slot 4 and 5 with both specials in them and taking samples from them?
