On the third hand, the text never explicitly specifies the exact number of apendages that a jhereg has. It would require either very careful reading and/or familiarity with the author and his quirks to know that all the pre-existing art is wrong. On the fourth hand... Well, I don't want to have cover art that I can believe in anyway--especially when they contradict my own mental images of the story. Better to have a plain cover with no decoration whatsoever.
