Ackals are Sucroids and you need the Sucroid's Progenitor to make more of them so no, cloning has been tried they just end up malformed and dead.

The Marker wouldn't work due because the main psychic mass(so to speak) of the Group Mind exists in closed space, which only the Vanara have the technology to access(they use it for interstellar travel) and they aren't even sure how it really works rather they just replicate it via nano bots and no one else has it since Vanara technology is difficult to reverse engineer due to the fact that the difference between machine and life form is blurred to the point of near non-existence(besides everyone has drive systems that work just as well).

There are ways to sever a Vanara form the Group Mind, removing their pineal gland(which doubles as a receiver for the Group Mind), but that render them either permanently lethargic or comatose. There are artifacts that can do this but these count a VERY bad ideas since severing them from the Group Mind gives the sadistic side control and even the Unitech are terrified of that thing.
