Special pets
Special is 9 pets. Special pets give no Genus Insight EXP: this genus grows only through analysis. Its slot 4 can roll Status Effect Chance, Damage Boost, Back Attack Damage Boost, Critical Damage Boost, Front Attack Damage Boost, Double Chance and Endurance Penetration. 2 of the game's 521 bosses are Special, so its Special lines count against them.

Special pets give no Genus Insight EXP (the pet window says so), so Special Insight starts at level 1 and grows only by analysis: 2,500 analyses with nothing locked reach level 10, for 10,000 Special Soul Crystal (Bound) (or universal ones) and 2,500,000 Kinah. Each analysis gives 100 EXP (the window says "per slot"; players' reported spend fits once per analysis).
Level 10 pays the title Special to the Bone: equipped PvE Damage Tolerance +3.1%, Evasion Bonus +33; owned PvE Attack +4.

Special pets and where to farm them
No monster drops the souls of this genus's pets: they come from the shop, events or achievements.

Double Chance: where to stop
Double Chance is the line Special is rolled for; players stop once it sits around 2.5% or higher and lock it, then roll the rest. Damage Boost and Critical Damage Boost on the same slot are the fallbacks.
