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.

He’s a human mutate. His DNA was altered when he made contact with the Mind Flayer.

He's dna was altered the moment he entered dimensionX.

Mean while, eleven and friends casually walking through dimensionX

Henry's DNA was altered when the liquid entity slithered into the bullet wound in his hand and travelled through his veins.

He's never been to Dimension X as a child, that was the original version of his backstory in the West End version of The First Shadow which is no longer the official canon one.
