I’ve stumbled upon this cute little dragon, and I can argue that it has a practical application, and perhaps that makes a purchase easier to justify. If your downspout is too short or you want to protect a fragile pipe, why not use some gothic design? Use a dragon gutter.

This dragon is actually stone. Well! It’s hand-cast crushed stone and resin bonded together. The final material needs to be painted, which they’ve done for you, to look like stone.
Ornaments made from crushed stone and resin are sturdy enough for typical outdoor decorative use, offering good weather resistance and detail. In that respect, this dragon is made of the right stuff. However, treat them with reasonable care – avoid dropping them or subjecting them to sharp impacts, as they can chip or break more easily than solid metal or some natural stones.
The downspout goes in behind the dragon, and then the excess water gurgles through to vomit out of the mouth. Gargoyles of yore actually did a similar thing: statues designed to guide rainwater away from stone walls.
You could use the dragon to hold down the end of the hose pipe too, and if it’s peeking through the flower beds, all the better. Equally, the dragon spout would fit right in if you’re designing a little garden pond or water feature.
