The creature's body is as I described it: slumped down, apparently lifeless. It is not disintegrated, quite clearly.

"Curious it did not disintergrate. Let's examine it before you animate it, its nature might not be appropriate and if that adamantium is extractable, well I think we have better uses for it than a not very portable mega zombie." Thadeius says moving forward to examine the corpse, trying to determine anything useful for future encounters as well as whether the substance is adamantine, etc. He also casts detect magic and attempts to identify any magical properties that might linger upon the "corpse" if there are any.

[sblock=possible inner monologue for Thadeius]
mmmmmmm... c'mon Thadeius, do that thang... dammit, I got nothing. Adamantium... adamantium... adamantium... Damn, I said it so many times it doesn't mean anything! Dang-it, Now everyone's looking at me, expecting me to say something profound. And that son-of-an-orc Malacarus is here, dammit. Well, it's Adamanti-- Adamantine! See? Off day. Damn. Alright, get it together and come up with something; then leave mysteriously and go have a nice cold ale in your fancy magical mansion with one (or three) of those Sylphs you summoned this morning, with the pert little... Damn, this is taking too long! Why? What is it about this guy that's drawing my focus off the Adaman-TINE (see? coming back!) shell covering this guy? Meh, probably all the magical, necrotic energy building from my Detect Magic spell.
...huh. That's... that's a lot of Necrotic energy build up building up... and what the heck is that purpley-green aura covering this guy? Maybe that's why my disintegrate spell (and all the other ones) didn't reduce this guy to a moldering ash right away. Wierd! Or, erm, weird... weird wierd wieieiord... blasted common tongue, designed by idiots.[/sblock]

"No idea if its real adamantium. There's some kind of necrotic energy around the corpse, which must be why it was not conventionally disintergrated." Thadeius says, being wise enough to admit when he does not know something and having little care for what other lesser mortals think of his towering intellectual prowess.
Thorn frowned. She was no wizard, but she knew enough to know what those spells were, and what they did. What they should have done. A chill went down her spine, and she flew the carpet farther away, then shouted, "Thad! Get out of there! Everyone, I don't think it's done yet!"

Malacarus suddenly has an idea of what sort of spell would be on such a creature. He immediately turns around and begins running.

Thadeius rolls his eyes and readying a dimension door in case the corpse does anything alarming strolls after his companions.
"Really, can we not behave with a little decorum?" he sigh to himself, but caution is perhaps sensible, the necrotic energy does appear to be building up and it might be prudent to examine it again later his initial inspection having concluded.

Gerhard follows his companions example when they start running. He does not feel up to the task of taking on whatever this beast is throwing at them by himself, even though it looks perfectly dead. He flees the same way as Malacarus, just in case.

[sblock=Malacarus] ...I dunno, what do you think it is? You've never understood what these creatures are except your interactions with them; but that's more vague than you're used to with undead and other monsters you've created/trained. Also you're not looking at it with Detect Magic, but rather hearing about it from Thaddeius.
That said, you're not sure if the necrotic energy build up is from a spell. It could be something to do with the pure-evil aspect of this critter. Whether it's necrotic regeneration, a necrotic retributive strike or some other contingency, you aren't sure: what makes this guy tick? It's got adamantium plates as part of its body, that's pretty intense and obviously related to powerful magic and big resources of some sort. It's at the very least a different type of evil outsider than you're used to. There are a lot of possibilities.[/sblock]
