Chances of facing a Primal/Boss Carbuncle?

[JerinRycik]

Wouldn't really make sense from a lore standpoint. It all has to do with arcane geometry gibberish, some of which vaguely explained early in the archaist class story. If I'm following correctly, Caubuncle in FFXIV isn't a primal in the way that Fenrir isn't a primal.

This was pretty much my thought. In FFXIV's lore, Carbuncle is basically aether given form by an Arcanist using a mathematical formula. Though we have seen that some Carbuncles can be ill-behaved or mischievous (i.e. Tataru's Carbuncle running away from her or the Emerald in Mor Dhona hiding from its master), I think it's kind of a stretch to try making it into a primal. There's also the masterless Topaz in Idyllshire, though arguably that one's just on Place while its master shops. :3
