If by uses you mean uses for when you've managed to capture one, I'd say butcher it and sell the ichor or trade it alive. If it's extremely rare then good luck getting a breeding pair. Without a replenishing supply of them, using it for combat is a waste of the effort you took to catch it. (If you luck out on a breeding pair, by all means use the babies as ambushers in your defensive plans.)

Ways to beat it?

Use dogs to pin down its location then use marksdwarves on the third story to smoke it from a distance. Otherwise, use GCS webbing on your traps to override TRAPAVOID.

ETA: And if Marksdwarves won't kill it, an atom smasher will.
