D&D 5E Grapple question: Can large monster grab PC and walk away with said PC?

[Ancalagon]

Hello

By my read of the rule, a large monster (say an ogre) could grapple a PC and then *carry the PC away with them*. While suitably dramatic/terrifying, is my interpretation of the rules correct?

Yes. I believe they can move at half movement rate.

I would play this as an opposing attribute dice roll. Ogre strength vs strength or dexterity of the PC (player picks higher one to use). Re-roll every 60ft. You could even throw in a moral check against the PC causing fear.

That is basically what the book says to do, assuming the player tries to escape on his turn.
