Tough Human Zombie? Statblock and additional spell?

I believe I've discovered a small casualty of editing. Check here:

Robe of Bones

Aura moderate necromancy [evil]; CL 6th

Slot body; Price 2,400 gp; Weight 1 lb.
DESCRIPTION

This sinister item functions much like a robe of useful items for the serious necromancer. It appears to be an unremarkable robe, but a character who dons it notes that it is adorned with small embroidered figures representing undead creatures. Only the wearer of the robe can see the embroidery, recognize them for the creatures they become, and detach them. One figure can be detached each round. Detaching a figure causes it to become an actual undead creature (see the list below). The skeleton or zombie is not under the control of the wearer of the robe, but may be subsequently commanded, rebuked, turned, or destroyed. A newly created robe of bones always has two embroidered figures of each of the following undead:

* Human skeleton
* Wolf skeleton
* Heavy horse skeleton
* Fast goblin zombie
* Tough human zombie
* Plague ogre zombie

CONSTRUCTION

Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, animate dead; Cost 1,200 gp

Checking the Bestiary there are notes in the Zombie listing for how to create Fast zombies and how to create Plague zombies but nothing about how to create Tough zombies or what a Tough zombie statblock might be.

Any speculation as to what this is, or perhaps an official answer with the necessary spell and statblock that I expect were cut for lack of space?

Sovereign Court

Absent any official rulings from TPTB, I would likely run them as creating Human Zombies that have the Advanced Creature (CR+1) template from pg 294 of the Bestiary.

Scarab Sages

I can't find the thread now, but I believe one of the Paizo guys did say that the Tough human zombie was supposed to just be the default human zombie.

Scarab Sages

I remember that too. Default human zombie.

Liberty's Edge

Once a patch has been removed from the robe and turned into one of the undead creatures listed does the creature radiate a magical aura if viewed with detect magic?
