Without consulting the rules you cited (away from books), and in order to keep things as easy at the table, I'd likely just give the thrown carcass the same damage as the ogre's standard attack. I mean, I might rather be hit by a javelin then a cow...depending on where the javelin hit me. To keep things interesting, I'd likely have a struck target make a save to avoid falling prone. Maybe their choice of Con or Dex with a DC equal to the damage dealt, minimum of 11. I rather like the idea. I think it is a good example of how the DM can take what is otherwise a standard stat block and breathe a little life into it. I can understand the criticism that the ogre as presented is not the most exciting monster in the MM. However, I don't think that it was intended to be, nor that it must remain so.</blockquote>
