[Peewee]

You can't train sapient creatures anyways. Or you'd have war goblins running around your forts. 

What ever do you mean? I always seem have war goblins running around my fort...

[RickiusMaximus]

Build a row of cage traps outside your drawbridge (or even around the entrance to the cave if you don't get attacked).

Cancel all mining jobs and remove 'miner' from everyones labour list.

Find an expenable dwarf and activate 'miner' in his labour list.

Designate a dig square inside the cave.

The expendible dwarf will enter the cave and the second the Giant moves towards him cancel the dig job and create another one inside your fort. (You also might want to order all dwarfs indoors at this point but I'm not sure if this will stop the minor leaving the cave... experiment!)

The giant should follow your dwarf all the way back to your fort and get trapped in the cage trap.

Except that he'll avoid the traps and go in and kill all your dwarves. Native creature and all.

Wait, if the giant has killed dwarfs I can't tame it?
Great, I've been using him as a migrant disposer for years now.
Oh well, I might as well just kill him and turn his bones into a sweet armor for my guard captain to wear.

You can't tame the giant anyways, unless you mod the game.

[Joseph Miles]

Dig a room below him, fill it with cave traps. Cave-in above him, the dust should knock him unconscious. Unconscious creatures trigger traps.

Sounds promising, but wouldn't the cave in destroy the traps?

You can't tame sentient creatures.

Do native creatures still ignore traps?

If it says "(native?) resident" it won't trigger traps if it's not asleep/unconscious.

Not from what I've HEARD
