The AC in the homebrews unicorn is too high, maybe it's from the higher Dex? That said, I could see adding a little natural armor to the unicorn form, since the glissan already has it. Maybe +2 instead of +4?
 



Good suggestions.

Updated.

Anything else or on to the baltir?

The miniature unicorn's stats are screwy. Its initiative should be +3 (I guess you left its old Dex bonus in) and its attacks don't include its Weapon Finesse feat (should be horn +8, hooves +3).

Apart from that it looks done.
 

Nice catches.

Updated.

Here's the last of the galadur...

Baltir
MOVE: 9"/27"//21. (MC:B)
HIT DICE: 2+2
NO. OF ATTACKS: 2
DAMAGE/ATTACK: By weapon type
INTELLIGENCE: High
ALIGNMENT: Chaotic good
SIZE: S (2' tall)
LEVEL/X.P. VALUE: V/ 305 + 3/hp

The baltiri are native to the planes of Olympus and Gladsheim. On the material plane, they may be hard to recognize, since they can assume different forms. A baltir can polymorph itself into a human or demihuman child, as the telperi and glissi do. It can also take the form of a cat, an otter, or a miniature lion (AC 5, MV 12., D/Att 1/1/1-2 and rear claws l/l). In addition to the powers that all galadur have, the baltir has two unique abilities. First, once per day it can make all others within 2” fall into a drunken stupor, unless they save vs. spell. The results of this power are listed under “greatly intoxicated” in the table on page 82 of the Dungeon Masters Guide. If anyone is even slightly drunk before the baltir uses its power, he or she becomes comatose after the baltir does so. Only a neutralize poison spell can remove the effects of the baltir’s power; otherwise, the victim must recover as described in the DMG.

The baltir’s second unique power is special resistance against magical control, including all charm-type spells, command, hypnotism, suggestion, and the like. All baltiri love freedom and happiness, and they fight for the right of others to enjoy these things. Baltiri from Gladsheim choose chaos over good if they must make a choice.

In size, baltiri don.t quite measure up; they’re shorter than the rest of the galadur in their unpolymorphed state. Still, they are broad of build and look like handsome, muscular humans with somewhat flat faces and tufted pointy ears. A short, glittering, fiery red fur covers their entire body. They have broad wings and glistening lionlike manes that match the color of their fur. Baltiri have broad smiles and green or brown almond-shaped eyes.
 



Sickened followed by fatigue sounds good.

For the Tiny lion, downsizing will make its scores quite similar to a cat. Shall we just say "treat as a cat, but it gains improved grab, pounce, and rake for damage equal to its claws"?
 

If it weren't for the fact that they already have a cat form, I'd be happy to say "treat as cat" and leave it there. But I think your assessment is right.
