Kindly grandmother being a beast is honestly very curious to me, and i know it's mostly for houndmaster synergy that it's a beast, but if something like Omega Defender isn't a mech because it's focusing on the person in control of the mech, then kindly grandmother shouldn't be a beast, using that logic.
Think of kindly grandmother as another card, a better example, piloted shredder. Piloted shredder is a mech unlike Omega Defender, because the focus of the card is the actual mech body not the pilot. So think of kindly grandmother as "Piloted grandmother" the tribe should be the grandmother tribe, and what pops out is the pilot, which is the beast.

Those who are given more in life, must not cling to it, but risk it all at every moment!
the flavor of the card is meant that the "wolf" which is a beast, is dressed as a "granny" (which you can clearly see on the card art)
is packaged as a 1/1 minion (representing the granny look) when attacked transforms (jumps out of its granny clothes) into a 3/2 beast (in full wolf form not hiding its a wolf)

Kindly Grandmother is a Worgen actor playing a wolf who is disguised as a granny. So, depending on which level of fiction you want to engage, it's a Beast or not.

Piloted Shredder, by the name you know the mech represent the card, not the gnome who is riding it, unlike Dragonhatcher, who is the the main character in the art for the card, not the dragon with him.
Piloted shredder is LITERALLY a pilot DRESSED as a shredder
No, a Piloted Shredder is a pilot in an actual shredder. Take away the pilot and you still have an actual functioning shredder.
Kindly Grandmother, on the other hand, is not a wolf in a grandmother (that would be disturbing). It is a wolf wearing certain pieces of clothing to look like a grandmother. Take away the wolf and all you have is pieces of clothing, not a grandmother.
Your logic would work better if Piloted Shredder was a person wearing a shredder costume (like a Halloween outfit). But it's not.

Jokes aside, making Kindly Grandmother not a beast completely destroys the little playability the card already has.
I think the most important takeaway from this thread is that there needs to be a grandmother-tribe :)
I agree that it shouldn't be a beast, but mostly because I want to see the Grandmother tribe. That would be hilarious.

Kindly Grandmother is a wolf. A wolf is a beast. Why the confusion?
Did you just assume this wolf in drag's tribe?

It’s literally a wolf........dressed as an old lady.....
Let me repeat that, A WOLF (beast) dressed as a lady.
a WOLF disguised as a grandmother. Not a grandmother that turns into a wolf.
Like tf????

In this lore, the Kindly Grandmother ate a live Wolf, so when you kill her, a 3/2 Wolf pops out.
Grandmother is a human, not a Wolf. That isn't a Wolf in Grandmother clothing, that is one ugly ass Grandmother.
