I've seen that cover art used on an edition of Niven's Protector

Well, it's a cover, alright.

It was indeed; my replacement copy, bought in the UK -- it replaced the original Ballantine edition -- had that cover art. It always puzzled me, as the Pak clearly looked nothing like that (wings? multiple eyes on stalks?). If it was some form of generic SFNal cover art being reused that makes more sense.
