It would also have a poisonous bite, and its blunt attacks would be devastating. Make it a thrall and we have a deal.

Not so sure on the deadly dust part. This'd make it essentially harmless or the worst thing possible. It'd fling itself around chaotically like some blind harbinger of destruction.
Although it does fail on the quantity scale - namely that not only is such a thing not in existence, but impossible to encounter.

Make it a thrall and we have a deal.
Inorganics > Husk clouds. Bronze Colossi practically shower in the stuff every Monday and feel great.

Inorganics+Thralls>Inorganics. Also, one finds far more thralls at once than they find inorganic monsters, and BCs can't turn dwarves into bronze dwarves by touching them with its dusty skin...although that would be awesome to mod...

Inorganics don't mix with Thralls. So the problem kinda solves itself unless it spirals into an endless war your Dwarves are caught in, between two unstoppable forces trying to kill each other.
And I suppose having BC's throw syndromes which are Dwarf specific (which also transform Dwarves into a new creature entity - bronze Dwarves) would be absolutely all the yes. And terrifying.

Bronze creatures are at least killable with magma. Fire breathing steel titans won't melt unless you have dragon fire, and they are also decapitation-resistant. They can also actually happen, whereas spoiler material titans/fbs don't.

So, a steel spider with necrosis-causing dust and wings, who is also a thrall/husk and a necromancer. Got something better?

A spire's worth of flying steel spiders which breath fire. They'll never be thralls/husks or necromancers, this is the deadliest you'll get.

Alright, good enough.

I still think a murderous vampire or necromancer  ghost you can't memorialize for some reason would be scarier.

Yes, but then you have unhappy dwarves after the ghost kills a few. Unhappy dwarves have tantrums and... fell moods. Fell moods that can kill ghosts, with luck. Imagine the sheer badassery of such an artifact. Even better: the dwarf that kills the necro/vampire is the same dwarf that makes the artifact.
 
This is a necromancer ghost bone sword. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. On the item is an image of Necromancer McNecromancy and Urist McBadass in necromancer ghost bone. Necromancer McNecromancy is crying. Urist McBadass is striking a triumphant pose. The artwork relates to the killing of Necromancer McNecromancy by Urist McBadass in Fortfortresses in 1059. On the item is an image of Necromancer McNecromancy's ghost and Urist McBadass in necromancer ghost bone. Necromancer McNecromancy is in the fetal position. Urist McBadass is striking a triumphant pose. The artwork relates to the killing of Necromancer McNecromancy's ghost by Urist McBadass in Fortfortresses in 1060. It menaces with spikes of necromancer ghost leather.

Yaks. I had to travel to a roc nest on the other side of a mountain range in adventure mode, and I decided that it would be easier to just go over the mountains. My 13 companions proceeded to brain themselves upon a herd of yaks. Then a yak kicked me in the head. I doubt the roc was nearly as dangerous.

"Most Dangerous" I usually find synonymous with "whatever's killing me right now."

1. Adamantine
2. Adamantine makes for weak creatures. An adamantine colossus can be punched to death by creatures many times smaller than itself, sadly.
