The interesting thing about the Ancients is that they have no heads. If you look at Lephantis's wiki, it states that, like all other Ancients, the Ancient head's weak spot is its neck. Sentients don't appear to have a head; just shoulders and a neck with the infestation growing some form of tentacles out of it.

Sentients also could be killed by removing the head.

I think that Sentients were the non-corrupted form of Ancients. It makes sense that they would be referred to as other creatures, since the war was so long ago, and even the Tenno cannot recall their memories. Perhaps the Lotus and the Stalker would know, since the Stalker actually recalls events from that time period, and the Lotus has been around for a really long time; her symbol is everywhere, but since we can't exactly ask them, it proves a bit difficult to answer.

I'm actually playing through Dark Sector right now for research, and the entrances to the Black Market all have the Lotus's symbol. Advanced units, like the Jackal also have it, and it can be found on walls ocasionally.

Hopefully it can answer some questions.
