It's called a grotesque - not to be confused with a gargoyle. They were popular with the early Christian church the remind a largely Pagan and mostly illiterate population that they could find safety from evil inside the church building. There was some return to popularity during the Victorian renaissance era.

They are fantasy figures.

But, in a building, not a church. Can it have some kind of hidden message?

I believe it'd the levels of the free mason's. There is possibly a hidden masonic entrance to there temple, or a gathering place.
