It's not from Mongoose but from the artist himself, Alberto Dal Lago! Here are the covers of the new LWRPGand of the new version The Kingdoms of Terror.

Well I'm not too enamoured of that second figure on the bridge in the background. I almost think the picture would be better without him but his presence does emphasise the more than one player idea.

Perhaps it is not the Dakomyd.
Could perhaps be the Yawshath in Taunor Castle?

Not impossible, but it seems improbable. The claws aside, the monsters bears a more-than-passing resemblence to the art depiction of the Dakomyd in the original gamebook. The build is very close, as well as the proportions of tail to body. There are a few descriptive details of the Yawshath in the book that also seem to be missing, but most of those are open to some reader imagination and interpretation; and so may not be as applicable.
No, I think this might be nothing more than a manifestation of the fact that artists are rarely given much more than a short paragraph description (and, in this case, likely the original two-page art from the gamebook) to work from, a description that is in no way comprehensive. That's not a reality of the business that can ever be laid at Mongoose's door alone; for years now I've read author's accounts regarding cover art not accurately reflecting the actual book content.

I'm more worried about the cloak looking grey (and hope it's only a trick of the light).
