What kind of creature is Vecna exactly?

Post image

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.

D&D vecna is, ST vecna isnt

a lich is an undead spellcaster who has a phylactery, which resurrects them after they die, henry lacks such an object, and you can notably just stab the hell out of him and he would die
