'Ullo,
It recently occurred to me to wonder, and so I thought I'd stick it here and see what people thought. I've noticed, y'see, that TEA bears the image of a dodo on a scooter - an animal on two-wheeled transport. LIAGB shows an animal on three-wheeled transport, WOLP has four-wheeled transport. Well, you can probably see where I'm going with this. Can anybody name five-wheeled forms of transport that might appear on the cover of TN4?

Certainly, the vehicles in question appear to be getting faster and fancier, with more powerful propulsion systems, with each book. So what's faster/more impressive than a race car that you could put an odd critter on?
I'll vote for an biplane myself. Perhaps a de Havilland DH-82 Tiger Moth?

An aircraft of some kind? A space-shuttle (even if that doesn't fit the Nextian world)? How many wheels do THOSE have in their landing gear?

Don't mono-wheels require several wheels inside the big one in order to keep it moving smoothly That'd make five wheels in total, and also look cool with a thylacine wedged inside...

Fairly sure LIAGB's mammoth is riding a tricycle. I'm open to Panjandric corrections.
