He also has the Ghost and Incorporeal traits but doesn't require the Magic trait to be defeated. (Not sure which one of those two traits might be the one that triggers that, but it seems one of them probably does.)
Should he require the Magic trait to be defeated?
No. You can only defeat him with Wisdom, which in this case (without being too spoilery) doesn't mandate Magic at all.

Oops. Color my face as red as the border on a henchman card. I saw how how high the check was and, not being used to that high of a Wisdom check to defeat a monster, assumed it was Combat, thus thinking the mental and poison immunity should be there. That guy is going to be tough for my Ezren, Sajan, Amiri, Merisiel group.
Sorry for wasting everyone's time, please return to your normal activity.

Well, I'm glad I'm not alone in that mistake.
I don't think he really needs the immunity clause since he requires a Wisdom check, though I suppose there is always the chance another Adventure Path will have a way to add the Mental or Poison traits to a Wisdom check. So I guess better safe than sorry.

Why does he need the line about being immune to the Mental and Poison traits? I understand that he is Undead, but the check to defeat is a Wisdom check, which to my knowledge cannot gain the Mental or Poison traits.
Also, even though this was a high check, my Virtuoso Lem just laughed at the check. Thank goodness for Blessing of Shelyn and the power feat to add d12s, plus a recharge to add a d4+3.

I think certain spells which grant the evasion ability have the mental trait. That would mean that those spells would not work against him.
Can't think of any poison effects which might be affected. It is just good practice in case new cards come along that might interact with this monster.

Ah yes. Good point about the Mental trait. Maybe there might one day be a poison based bane for evasion. Like a potion of evasion or something. It probably is just best to cover all the bases.
