What kind of weapons and combat gear would suit a creaturerace of creatures with prehensile hands and feet wield?

I'm designing a high fantasy warrior who comes from a bipedal race of creatures with prehensile hands and feet, and I am debating what kind of weapons his kind would wield. What weapons would or could they wield with their feet? What would be most ideal for this anatomy? What kind of scabbards or other accessories would they need for them, and where would they wear them?

For context, I strongly consideredadded the idea offollowing descriptions about the character wielding three melee weapons or a double-bladed polearmand his kind.

Anatomy

In addition to having long strong arms and legs, but I'm unsure of the practicalitycharacter's race use their long tails and prehensile feet to balance themselves on thick branches and leap from tree to tree. Their feet are similar in anatomy to that of ita macaque except they have digitigrade legs and what melee weapons would work bestdo not walk on their heels.

Society

For context, theThe character's race are tree dwellers that come from a dense jungle world whose trees grow enormously tall, partially due to the planet having about 70% to 80% of Earth's gravity. In addition to having long strong armsThey have a largely non-industrialized society based on kinship that values harmony with nature.

Historically, they useused weapons for hunting, defending themselves from apex predators that can climb or fly, and armed conflicts with rivaling tribes or clans.

On their long tailshome planet, they lived and prehensile feetfought almost exclusively in the trees. They instinctively prefer having a height advantage so much that they don't feel safe sleeping on a human bed unless it's suspended off the ground. When visiting a human dwelling, they tend to balance themselveswalk on thick branchesfurniture and leap from treeavoid touching the floor when possible.

Technology

Technology is comparable to treethat of the early Renaissance.
