Can you help me identify this fanged grotesque that I saw in the movie The Wicker Man?

I am guessing it is some sort of Celtic mythical element? I have also seen it used elsewhere as door knocks or gargoyle downspouts but can't remember where. Does it have its own name, like the griffin being a mythical beast with a lion's body and an eagles' head?
