Saw this at the pond inside Prasat Vihear Sour two weeks ago.

If I am not mistaken these are temple guardians called “dvarapalas” or the mythical monsters called “kala”.
Either a “dvarapala” or a “kala”, they are the guardians of the temple and are decorative elements in Khmer architectures and structures.
