==Known Failed or Rejected Sapients==
[[File:Firestarter.jpg|thumb|left|The Firestarter, a non-canon sapient created by [[:{{alpha:|User:Hydromancerx|Hydromancerx]]}}]]There are a few known noncanon sapients which were either rejected or lost contests. Note that species will only be included here if they are of historical significance, were entered into an official contest, or are of especially high quality; random low-quality sapient submissions in the present timeframe will not be added to this list.[[File:Azelangur.png|thumb|left|The only surviving art of the rejected Azelangur]]
* '''Smart Plesioraptor''', a descendant of [[:{{alpha:|Hiding Plesioraptor]]}} created by non-member Dinodude as his first submission. It was soon edited to be less smart before finally being rejected anyway.
* '''Azelangur''', a sapient descendant of [[:{{alpha:|azelemur]]}} created by [[:{{alpha|alpha:User:BonosaberChangeling|Changeling}}, then known as Bonosaber]].
* '''Chimpus''', a sapient [[:{{alpha:|shrew]]}} also created by [[:{{alpha:|User:BonosaberChangeling|Bonosaber]]Changeling}}. It was meant to be a descendant of another species which never came to be, the volcanis, which in turn was a descendant of the [[:{{alpha:|lemupus]]}}. It is the only failed sapient with both its art and description intact, and it has gained infamy for its use of "minecraft weapons" (though it actually predates the existence of Minecraft) and the fact that its religion is not only abased rip-off ofon a real religion, but Christianity specifically.
* '''Firestarter''', sometimes considered a proto-[[:{{alpha:Sagon|Sagon]]}}, a descendant of the [[:{{alpha:|tasertongue]]}} which was created by Hydromancerx for the sapient contest.
* An unknown [[:{{alpha:|phant]]}} submitted for the sapient contest, which is now lost.
* An unknown teuthopin relative submitted for the sapient contest, which is now lost.
* A hybrid descendant of the [[:{{alpha:|Tripodian]]}} and [[:{{alpha:|Pygmypodian]]}} which is similar to the canon sapient [[:{{alpha:|Tripodician]]}}, but with clothes. It was created by Hydromancerx as a backup plan if Nergali didn't submit the Tripodician.
