Gargoyle
A gargoyle is technically a functioning waterspout. In medieval times (and occasionally today), they were carved as grotesque figures to protect from evil spirits. However, the lines have become blurred and people frequently refer to any grotesque ornamental carving as a gargoyle. However, a gargoyle need not represent anything. Any waterspout relieving water from a building is a gargoyle. I am confident of this answer. I have a bachelor of architectural history and a master of architecture and I am a licensed architect.
My children are scared of the gargoyle on the building.

You are most likely to see a gargoyle on a historic building or a church, typically on the exterior walls or roofs. Gargoyles were commonly used in medieval architecture to serve as decorative water spouts to divert rainwater away from the building.
A tornado that forms on a lake or sea is called a waterspout.
The water comes out the waterspout.
A synonym for waterspout would be tornado.

Gargoyles are grotesque sculptured stone heads. They are put on building to decorate the outlets from where rain water pours off the building's roofs.
