<p>a) You only have one (type of) natural attack, in which case it's always primary.
<br />
b) You use natural attacks alongside unarmed strikes or manufactured weapons, in which case they're always secondary.</p>There are only two things that change natural weapons from primary to secondary or vice versa:

<p>Adding regular attacks into your Full Attack would demote a Primary Natural Attack to Secondary. For instance Tengus have a Bite Attack. A Tengu that Full Attacks with Bastard Sword, Armor Spikes, and Bite will suffer a -5 on his Bite Attack, it being demoted from Primary to Secondary. A Tengu that has the Claws Altnernate Racial Trait gets 3 Primary Natural Attacks: 1 Bite and 2 Claws. If this Tengu were a Barbarian who takes Lessser Fiend Totem for that Gore Attack, she now has 4 Primary Natural Attacks: Bite, 2 Claws, and Gore. She takes a level in White Haired Witch, she now has 5, etc.</p>
<p>There is another exception. If a creature has only 1 Natural Attack, that Attack is Primary even if it normally would be a Secondary Natural Attack. A Stegosaurus Tail is a Primary Natural Attack, for instance. But if a Druid were Wildshaped into a Stegosaurus, and then took those 2 levels in Barbarian and got that Gore Attack, then the Tail does get demoted to Secondary.</p>

<p>i.e. a sorcerer shape changes into a creature with natural attacks, who then wears something which gives him even more natural attacks.</p>
<p>are these second lot of natural attacks primary or secondary?</p>
