Rarely aggressive, but are usually faster than a horse while walking and sometimes even faster when running.
Take care when fighting mammoths - especially on horses, as after >70% openings they can use an ability similar to "Raw Hide!" and stun nearby horses. This can quickly cause you to get knocked down.

Strategy
A properly positioned Hearthling as seen - with the use of Boundary Boxes displayed through the Hurricane Client
Current (as of World 16.1) strategy involves not fighting the mammoth in a fair fight, but rather abusing the palisades being indestructible by mammoths.
What you need is a claimed enclosed palisade in the mountain area. (As a precaution - wait at least 24h after building the palisade before trying to bring a mammoth inside, they may attempt to destroy it before it builds up sufficient soak strength.)
The palisade needs to have a small (preferably rectangular) compartment with a gate and a single empty square without the palisade built there for luring the mammoth inside (see images for reference).
Once the palisade is setup, grab yourself a horse and look around for a mammoth (never attempt luring a mammoth on foot unless it's literally next to your palisade) - if found, attack it and run straight into the compartment then wait for the mammoth to walk into it, once it's inside just run through the gap in the wall and after that you can try closing the gate behind it. (usually the gate can stay open, as even in peace mode the animal does not run through the gate - it does rarely happen though) IMPORTANT - Do not attempt to lure a mammoth inside with a character that has Rage unlocked, as it will make it impossible to run through the gates and you will have to either run away from the mammoth or use Quell the Beast to escape.
If you have caught yourself a mammoth, you are free to attack it, but beware, as mammoths use a ranged attack called Trunk Gunk which hits through armor, and to protect yourself your Hearthling needs to be partially covered by the palisade segment.
To safely fight the mammoth you should use any melee weapon with extra range such as Boar Spear, Giant Needle or B12 and position yourself outside its attack range.
If you are experienced, want to learn how to or already do not have any issues positioning yourself perfectly to stop the animal from attacking you then feel free to use a sword.
