When the Philistines captured the ark of God, they carried it from Ebenezer to Ashdod; then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it up beside Dagon. And when the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the LORD. So they took Dagon and put him back in his place. But when they rose early on the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the LORD, and the head of Dagon and both his hands were lying cut off upon the threshold; only the trunk of Dagon was left to him. This is why the priests of Dagon and all who enter the house of Dagon do not tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day. 1Sa 5;1

Notice the gill shaped ornaments on his headdress.
If the shape of his turban matches his skull he could be one of the ancient aliens, or descended angels that shaped primitive man into what we now are.
Dagon probably is the same (race) of Watchers as Oannes, who educated early mankind in science and civilization.
"At Babylon there was (in these times) a great resort of people of various nations, who inhabited Chaldaea, and lived in a lawless manner like the beasts of the field. In the first year there appeared, from that part of the Erythraean sea which borders upon Babylonia, an animal destitute of reason [sic], by name Oannes, whose whole body (according to the account of Apollodorus) was that of a fish, that under the fish's head he had another head, with feet also below, similar to those of a man, subjoined to the fish's tail. His voice too, and language, was articulated and human, and a representation of him is preserved even to this day. This Being was accustomed to pass the day among men; but took no food at that season; and he gave them an insight into letters and sciences, and arts of every kind. He taught them to construct cities, to found temples, to compile laws, and explained to them the principles of geometrical knowledge. He made them distinguish the seeds of the earth, and showed them how to collect the fruits; in short, he instructed them in everything which could tend to soften manners and humanize their lives. From that time, nothing material has been added by way of improvement to his instructions. And when the sun had set, this Being Oannes, retired again into the sea, and passed the night in the deep; for he was amphibious. After this there appeared other animals like Oannes." Berossus, from Ancient Fragments (Isaac Preston Cory)
The intents seem good, but could also have been an attempt to create a suitable and acceptable environment for them to build a new life here on our planet after their home world was destroyed for what ever reason.
The results were devastating, considering the fact that it took a Great Flood to erase the horrors that followed.
It is sometimes said that the Mitres of Catholic Bisshops are derived from the fishhead headdress of Sumerian priests of Dagon, but this is not certain (not as a fish head anyway).
