The creature at the hilt is a little more than a fish. It's known as a Shachihoko which is a chimera with the head of a tiger and the body of a carp. The use of fire may be creative license, as they are mostly known for putting fires out by spitting water.

To add to ShiShiLeo's explanation in essence they are gargoyles and are installed primarily on rooftops. The kanji for it is also the same kanji 鯱 used for the orca, and actually is a combination of the kanji for fish 魚 and tiger 虎.
