He wasn't an Elf, Dwarf, Man, Hobbit, Ent, or Animal definitely. Whether or not he was Vala or Maia is subject to debate, but if those races are not classified as "Living" then we can include Tom there as well. Ainu or no, his longevity and mysterious powers give him more in common with them than with the Children of Eru.
