** A species of Oryctocheiridae will be the most likely candidate and contender for developing sapience, since they have hand-like appendages with their claws to allow them a greater ability to manipulate their environment and there is what appeared to be sets of '''3''' claws paints on a cave wall in the final art (made by C.M. Kosemen) shown in Ep 14.

In Episode 8, limited food resources leads to them giving birth to undeveloped young that they leave on a carcass to eat, much like some scavenging fly species on Earth. Like the metamorph birds in ''{{WebOriginal/Serina}}'', this may result in future lystrocheirids giving birth to tiny grub-like larvae that spend their early life burrowing before undergoing metamorphosis into an adult. Some may be able to breathe through their skin when laid in a moist area such as mud, which may lead to some species having aquatic tadpole-like larvae. There may even be neotenic forms that fill fish or invertebrate-like niches.

** Stenochelaphorans will have a head start towards developing sapience due to their forelimb arrangement allowing them a greater ability to manipulate their environment by grasping objects with precise muscle control, not unlike the opposable thumbs of primates and other mammals. This adaptation will allow them to use tools with greater ease or effectiveness than other clades like pachychelaphorans or acrocheirids.

* The aquatic species of Deinognathans may have a brief resurgence as terrestrial predators when the existing carnivorous clades die out, much in the vain of certain land-based Crocodilians on Earth after the extinction of the dinosaurs.
* Terrestrial species that are either ovoviviparous or oathecae-carrying will have a major advantage during the mass extinction, as oathecae will be high-calorie targets for many species when food is very scarce. Similarly, clades with lower incubation periods (such as the Rhamphodonts) will be at an advantage as they will spend less time in such a vulnerable state (even if they still require a lot of development), mirroring how beaked birds completely displaced toothed birds after the K-T extinction (toothed birds spent twice as much time developing inside their eggs).

* Judging by the slide of a volcano when teasing about a mass extinction event at the end of Part 13, it's implied that some catastrophic eruption (or multiple eruptions) will occur, which will spell out the doom for many of the lifeforms on the Alien Biosphere. It will either be that such eruptions will create a vast amount of carbon emissions into the atmosphere, creating a greenhouse effect that will warm the planet to critical levels, or create a blanket that will blot out the sun and create a volcanic winter that freezes everything. Of course, it's also possible that the series will take an Earth-like route and have the extinction event be caused by a space rock that collides into the planet, much like the K-Pg Extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs.

One of the confirmed episodes on Biblaridion's Patreon involves intelligent life. Many fans are predicting the tanybrachids, due to being this planet's monkey analogue, will become sapient. However, that would be a little too predictable and obvious, since evolving a sapient species from a monkey-like ancestor will kind of undermine the series' point of how different alien life could be from Earth's. Besides, the tanybrachids are most similar to the lesser apes (i.e. gibbons and siamangs) which are pretty overtly specialized for an arboreal lifestyle and would therefore likely die out if they lost their forest habitat, whereas the primates that would diverge to form the lineage that would evolve into humans are the more terrestrial great apes. An alternate candidate for sapience are the allodonts, which consist of omnivores with modified arm-like forelegs that could possibly be useful in manipulating tools, plus they are starting to develop parental care as seen in the thecopods, which may lead to a bigger brain and more advanced social behavior.
