Vanara shaman
Vanara are a race you can play in D&D's Oriental Adventures.
But that's not where they originate from. They're brave, inquisitive ape-like humanoids in the Hindu mythological epic Ramayana.
A general among the Vanara is good ol' Hanuman, one of the most famous white-furred monkeys of legend.
One could argue that Hanuman and Yeti are basically meeting the same need in our collective unconscious.
Give us our white-furred monkeys: Any way. Any how.
