Am I crazy, or was there once a half-ogre player race in 1st or 2nd Ed. I am want to make a "Mongo" type character, maybe a half-ogre bard who plays the cowbell. I don't want to make an overpowered character though..any thoughts
Half-ogres were a monstrous character race option in 2nd Edition. For 5E, I'd just used the stats for an Eberron or Wildmont orc but give them Giant as their racial language instead of orcish.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.

Not bad suggestions but, I would say the Volo Orc is a better fit for somewhat dim-witted Ogre variants.

I prefer the Goliath as a “counts as” for Ogrillon (Half-Ogres).
