What alignment are the yellow musk zombies as the yellow musk creeper is neutral which the yellow musk zombie becomes. It does not say to change the alignment. I think it may make more logical sense to have them be neutral? I don't think alignment is listed as an undead trait in the bestiary but is implied by developers and they are not undead so is this just a gray area?
A yellow musk zombie is a rotting creature from which wet green vines have sprouted. Treat a yellow musk zombie as a standard zombie, but with this special quality.
Plant Traits (Ex) This zombie's animation is provided not by necromancy but by the plant that grows throughout its body. Yellow musk zombies lack undead traits, but gain plant traits. They are treated as plants, not undead, for the resolution of magical effects and attacks. Channel energy cannot harm a yellow musk zombie, for example, nor does negative energy heal a yellow musk zombie.
Standard zombies are always neutral evil. This is not an undead trait, but a trait of the zombie itself, so there is no reason that should change.
Alignment: Always neutral evil.
Logically, all mindless creatures (living or undead) should be neutral however.

Technically, it is not a zombie. It's a plant that uses a corpse as a source of food and transportation. There's no necromancy or negative energy involved. It's just a mindless plant wandering around in a dead body...
It's creepy, but completely natural.
I'm still not sure which traits it should get. Doesn't matter ofcourse. I can make them any way I want in my game.
I als see why they are a bit confusing. Race + Commoner Class + Zombie Template + Yellow Musk Template.
Yeah, that's a simple monster.
