I'm sure this has been asked before, but can someone name the DS creature on the cover of the original DS boxed set? The one with olive-colored skin wielding a pair of weapons over it's head?

Also there is a rust-colored creature in the foreground that looks like some kind of desert troll....

The one in the background is a Tarek and I think the one in the foreground in a Nikaal (as described in first Prism Pentad book with scaled skin and black hair).

I'm pretty sure that's a Mul - and specifically, Rikus.

Rikus is on the cover of The Crimson Legion. It really is a tarek, and those are two heartpicks he is wielding.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Rikus is also on the cover of Verdant Passage (same image as on The Wanderer's Journal) wielding a Carrikal. ;)

Actually, the nikaal is described as having purple scales. This suggests that the body at Agis's feet (from the other half of that painting - on the WJ), is probably a nikaal.
