Alien-possessed mammoth?
For serious?
Dear God.
Right. Sir. Honey.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
But... Why would the aliens use an extinct species when there are plenty of live ones...
head explodes

This is what I remember reading, which may or may not be accurate: the alien is in... a meteorite? Or something? Which gets put in a museum. Where there's a mammoth next to it. So naturally the alien takes over the mammoth body. It's all very scientific.
I could swear I read the summary here. Lemme look...
Ah here it is. And I guess I should whitefont, although it might be worth it to hear someone complain, "You RUINED Mammoth for me!"

But...it's not really a mammoth body, right? I mean...we only have bones, don't we?
On a hot summer afternoon in the sleepy town of Blackwater, Louisiana locals exiting a retro-fitted theater excitedly watch as a meteor streaks across the sky and crashes through the roof of the local Natural History Museum. No one realizes that the meteor is actually a spaceship containing a shape-shifting life form. In order to adapt to Earth's atmosphere, the life form latches on to the first organism it comes in contact with - a partially frozen Woolly Mammoth found in the historic exhibit for which the town is famous. As a series of uncanny disasters unfold, the town quickly finds itself overrun by the alien-possessed mammoth. Local authorities and Government Investigators join forces with Frank Abernathy, the Museum Curator, and his father Simon, a B-Movie enthusiast to bring down the mighty mammoth, thus saving the town (and the world) in a wild adventure that blends the 50's alien-invasion flick, and the 70's revenge-of-nature opus into a marauding monster mash!
Oh, partially frozen. That makes more sense.

Not a phrase I'd ever associate with a movie about an alien-possessed mammoth.
