Makara

Makaras are legendary sea monsters with scales, claws and a large head, often in the form of a crocodile, sometimes with the trunk of an elephant.

In Angkor sculpture, they are the guardians of gateways and thresholds, often disgorging Narasimha (fierce man-lion avatars of the Hindu god Vishnu, destroyer of evil and ender of religious persecution).
