According to the web site Explore the Hill:
There are 4 gargoyles on the Peace Tower. Each is approximately 2.5 m (8 ft. 4 in.) long by 75 cm (2 ft. 6 in.) high by 45 cm (1 ft. 6 in.) thick. They have been carved from Stanstead grey granite, which originates from Beebe, Quebec, Canada.
The four stylized designs are:
-Bird
-Human Head
-Lion
-Dragon
I’m not sure which one this is. I’m guessing the dragon.

Nice grotesque, if that isn’t an oxymoron.
I think it’s amazing how it can just be there protruding like that year after year through snow, ice, sleet, hail, wind and other stufff.
Held up by hot air no doubt.
