I've got a civ that worships a giant cave spider god, and of course there was only one thing to be done about that. I have managed to capture and tame a GCS, to which I intend to feed goblin prisoners. If they survive the eight z-level drop through the castle-fort into the shrine, they have been judged worthy as offerings, and the lever is pulled to release the avatar of the god. I just tested it and everything went according to plan, the goblin just about survived the drop and the spider wandered lazily over to give it the coup de grace.

However, my spider (which has never attacked a dwarf, please note) now has a name from killing the goblin.

I'm just checking, this is all right in 2010 isn't it? She's not going to suddenly snap two years later and go Hostile like GCS and cave crocs did in 40d? I can work with it either way but I'd rather she stays tame.

I think the bug in DF2010 where tamed cave crocs went weirdly semi-hostile after a few years has been fixed.  I haven't seen any sign of it, but I haven't tried capturing and taming any local cave crocs yet.

Guess I'll find out sooner or later then.

I would guess she is like a  wardog, gets a name by killing a sapient species

The semi-hostility bug from 40d was specific to "feature creatures" - wild animals that were present on the map (within an underground pool, underground river, magma pool, magma pipe, bottomless pit, or chasm) when you embarked. Creatures that migrate in from the map edge have always worked properly.
