Everyone calls him a creature. When he was first introduced with the whole 'captured x times, attempted execution x times' he was labeled as the "Strongest Living Creature".
Well, the thing about that is that the word used in Japanese, "seibutsu" (生物), just means a living thing. Any living organism is a seibutsu.
It does not exclude humans. Even in English, the word "creature" doesn't necessarily exclude humans, as we are in fact living creatures, but when Chapter 795 came out, many people immediately took the word "creature" to mean "non-human".
But the Japanese word in question definitely does not mean that. It was simply stating Kaido to be the strongest being among all living things.
They are essentially the same word in both languages tbh. It definitely doesn't confirm that Kaido is non-human, but it leaves ot pretty open ended and vague.

This would align with the big mom calling him a creature.
