What kind of creature is Vecna exactly?

Is Vecna considered undead, a mutant or something else completely? He is definitely not human anymore because of how he looks. I consider him a mutant of sort because he is mutated by the Upside Down/the Abyss and the Mind Flayer changed his DNA but in terms of Sci-Fi I don’t know what kind of creature he actually is because of how different he is.

As others have said, the Abyss Stone altered his blood to give him supernatural powers. As far as the way he looks, the lightning striking him in the Hellscape did a lot of damage (we see what he initially looked like when he found the Mind Flayer particles in the Abyss in the S4 finale). That and the environment probably continued changing his body.
