A dragon head staff head, excellent for wizarding of all nature!
There is a cylindrical inset on the rear, for attaching a pipe or rod of outer diameter 25mm to act as a staff! If you are using a hollow pipe, would make the overall prop much lighter and also give the possibilities of electronics being added to it.
Take care of the sharp pointy tips of the horns though, and it is suggested for these to be sanded down to a less sharp tip if this is to be given to young kids to handle.
Would love to see versions of this printed out, maybe with electronics in the eyes or motion-activated sounds? Who knows; have fun with this! =)

Notes:
To optimize for print time, may be worthwhile to tilt the dragon head backwards slightly, but that may affect the fit of the cylindrical inset for the rod/pipe.
The cylindrical inset part is scaled for a 25mm pipe so you may have to resize the piece depending on the availability of rods/pipes you have access to.
Probably won't need too much post-processing except for the removal of the support materials.
Perhaps would work nicely with a coat of paint or realistic paint application but that's totally up to you! Do show us what you've come up with though! ;)
This main organic dragon head of this model was designed in Sculptris and then subsequently brought into Rhino for the cylindrical pipe inset to be added in.
