Environment is good. Clan for organization? CR 3? Always CN. no coins, 1/4 goods, no items. 7-12HD (Small).
Agreed to the sidebar. Swap Intimidate or maybe Listen for Bluff, Move Silently for Perform (sing)? Swap Spring Attack for Persuasive? Maybe Athletic for Mobility?

Trickster figures, protect sources of fresh water, xenophobic... do they get on well with other fey? Other sylvan creatures like elves, centaurs and unicorns? Or are they just generally grumpy? Do the beautiful daughters stay young and beautiful forever, or do they end up old and shrivelled eventually? Perhaps the beautiful daughter is the first stage of their life cycles, where they roam free and find a new territory, then when they settle down, they turn into old, dour males which then reproduce asexually.

I think so.

The Ga-hon-ga, the guardians of the stream, live in rock caves near rivers, and though small in size are possessed of gigantic strength. They are able to pull up the largest of trees with a single twist of the hand, and throw massive rocks into the rivers (to lift the waters when floods threaten). These beings often visit men in their dreams, to lead them into their caves and challenge them to feats of strength such as playing ball with rocks, with the Ga-hon-ga frequently throwing the “balls” high out of sight. For this reason they are known as “Stone Throwers.”
The Ga-hon-ga also watch over the fish, instructing them, directing their movements, and providing shelter in their deep-water caves, if the fish are being chased by merciless fishermen or confused in the whirl of a flood. The Gahon-ga will free fish caught in traps when they deem it wise. They decide if a season is to be fruitful or barren, and frequently punish abuse or negligence of nature with famine.
When drought occurs, the Iroquois will travel far into the forests to search for signs of the Ga-hon-ga. These signs are little cup-shaped hollows in the mud at the edges of streams, and are the promise of rain. The hollows are carefully scooped up and dried on a fragment of bark in the sun, becoming the “dew cup charms” which are placed in longhouses to attract the Gan-da-yah. There is a 15% chance per day that the Gan-dayah will come looking around a household where the charm is used.
The Ga-hon-ga have strength equal to a stone giant, and can throw and catch rocks with the same degree of ability. If encountered in an area where goodsized rocks are not in easy supply, they will carry their own. They also are armed with daggers and sometimes spears (30%). For river travel, the Ga-hon-ga use magical canoes which will, at times of need, fly into the air with a single stroke of the paddle (acting as a Carpet of Flying). The Ga-hon-ga can control fish with the same power as a Trident of Fish Command, and they can Control Weather as a 12th-level druid. Females and young are found only in lairs.

More seriously, base all physical scores on stone giants, or just Str?- Status
