I recently found out how to get the DNA for these creatures. It's quite obvious, but for those, like me, who didn't know about it, here it is:
 
Step 1: Get in a reasonably-sized solo group (enough to get lvl 99 missions).
Step 2: Go to endor and look on the mission terms for missions with a payout of about 7500-7900 credits.
Step 3: Keep refreshing and looking at missions in the specified payout range until 'a flock of deranged mantigrue' mission shows up. This takes a LONG time, but it does pop up. It's definately worth it. Get two at a time, of course.
Step 4: Go to the mission and take out the lair until it's dead enough that the lair boss spawns. It has spawned every time I ran one of these missions in this way, and I was able to make about 100 samples just by doing this.
 
I'd suggest bringing along a brawler buddy if you don't have sufficient combat skills of your own. You'll have to kill many a daranged mantigrue to get to the prize.
 
How this helps

How many spawn before the boss does? Is it 5 waves of 5?

With only a t21 armed (and only 3xx1 rifles) I can pull deranged mantigrue missions around the 7400 mark, no need for a solo group.

I can confirm that "a Flock of Deranged Mantigrue" missions spawn Insane Mantigrue Beserker like D'ark said. D'ark told me about this in game and I tried it. Thanks D'ark!

I grouped my TKM/MCH alt and my BE/CH with 3 pets (about level 120 total). I pulled level 77 missions at 7500-7900 creds with a title of "a Flock of Deranged Mantigrue". Got 4 of those and all of them spawned Insane Mantigrue Berserker at the end. Those have 3 spawns of Deranged Mantigrues in 3 waves.

After successfully sampled 14 DNAs off of those 4 IMBs, I tried to find a mission with my TKM/MCH alt alone. I found a level 47 mission at 7500-7900 creds with a title of "a Flock of Deranged Mantigrue". Now, I did not actually go out and do this mission so I am not 100% sure this one spawns IMB, but I think as long as the title is "a Flock", it spawns IMB.

Again, I appreciate D'ark sharing this info with us.

Small update. I took two level 40 missions/7500-7900 payout/"a Flock of Deranged Mantigrue" missions by my TKM/MCH alt alone. (No pets grouped) And confirmed that both of these missions spawn IMBs. These spawn just 1 Deranged Mantigrues in 3 waves and IMB at the end. Much easier to do.

I think that everybody can pull them solo on Endor unless they changed the system recently. Very hard to find those missions though, takes a lot of refreshing, but they are there!

I have tested this and I have found that being part of a solo group will NOT work. You need to be able LOW level missions at around level 40. Solo groups start at around 70. I spent 20 mins in a solo group looking for these then I quit and, with pistols 0021, I managed to pull 2 in about 3 minutes.

Does it matter which outpost you start from? I've often wondered if you can get the same set of missions from every mission terminal on a planet or if you have to be near some sort of "hot spot" for a terminal to pick them up. I tried to find this mission type at the southern outpost (research) on Endor and had no luck after a good 20 minutes of searching. I was grouped with my alt CH (2424) and master pistoleer/BH(0040) and the CH had a level 36 pet grouped up too.

Or was my 20 minutes not long enough to find this rare mission?

Chances are you had too much stuff out. They are only a low level mission with difficult 40. If you are grouped with a lot of high level entities then you will find that you only get missions that are around level 99 or above. Once I realised this, it only took me 2 minutes max to find two lairs in the same direction, both were level 40.

I'm pretty sure all the other missions listed are difficulty 40 for me, the only ones that come close are mantigrue night stalker lairs which I tried, but those don't have a boss. I guess I'll have to try it again.
