There's the giant flying anthropophagus head. Yes, just a head, with bat wings, and giant. It's an old Mohawk legend
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Head

The Seneca tell of a fire-breathing lake dragon, that can fly on a trail of fire. More dragonesque than fae, but still ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaasyendietha

Jogah are diminutive Iroquois nature spirits, similar to nymphs and faeries and Victorian elves. I suppose they could get cranky, or lethally mischievous.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jogah

There's some good stuff in the Wikipedia entry on Seneca mythology
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_mythology
including
Dijien was a man-sized spider who survived most attacks because its heart was buried underground.
Dagwanoenyent is a vicious northern witch who is depicted as a whirlwind.
Hagondes is a cannibalistic trickster and clown spirit.

There's that Seneca guy with a deformed face who would follow people around but hide behind trees whenever anyone looked at him. Pretty creepy, but he was actually very helpful (if shy).

I see Bruno beat me to the water panther, and the horned Algonquin lake serpent has already been mentioned.

Oh, wow! I'd never heard of that and it sounds perfect.

Kukwes actually look nearly exactly like the description that Ricky Sommiers gave of the weird huge person, who must have been wrapped in furs, one fateful night. Of course, Sommiers was drunk when he told the story and drunker when the events took place. Even he acknowledged that he was probably imagining things.

Special Agent Frank Corelli (PC), however, was stone-cold sober last session and for a moment after he was attacked, he earnestly believed that Henri Sinclair, wearing a bear pelt, was a huge, shaggy creature on two legs, not even remotely human.

Lovely. Now the PCs can worry about whether their hypothetical monster is a Chenoo, Kukwe or Skadegamutc. Or what happens when someone possessed by the Chenoo is killed, bu the frozen heart is neither melted with hot fat nor burnt in cleansing fire.

Great! Sounds like they could absolutely live somewhere in the neighbourhood...
