Is the templated zombie created by the Akata's disease (Bestiary 2) a zombie, or aberration, because of the baby akata inside it? I did not see a special rule, but the Yellow Musk Creeper (?) in Bestiary 1 has a similar ability, and explicitly states the zombie is Plant, not Undead. I just wanted to know what anyone else would think.

It is Undead, basically a Fast zombie with a secondary attack.
This might help.
Void Zombie (CR +1)
A humanoid killed by void death becomes a void zombie. A void zombie is a fast zombie (Pathfinder RPG Bestiary page 289) that gains a secondary “tongue” attack (actually the larval akata's feeding tendril), dealing 1d6 points of damage. A void zombie also gains the following special attack.
Blood Drain (Ex) If a void zombie hits a living creature with its tongue attack, it drains blood, dealing 2 points of Strength damage before the tongue detaches.

I believe the the body is animated by the Akata so the creature is "technically" undead
When they were stated out in Second Darkness: Children of the Void they were listed as undead as well.
Oddly enough they were some of the few undead that were vulnerable to sneak attacks and critical hits back in the day.
