Can a character or monster move a grappled enemy to another space in its reach without dragging them?

The rules on "Grappling", specifically the "Moving a Grappled Target" section of the PHB (page 195) reads:

When you move, you can drag or carry the grappled creature with you, but your speed is halved, unless the creature is two or more sizes smaller than you

I wondered if monsters like the death kiss (VGM page 124), that can grapple creatures within a large reach (in this case, 15 feet) can move a grappled creature from a space in its reach to another space in its reach, without dragging it. Is this possible?

Is this question any different than this question from earlier today? They seem like the same thing to me, but I can't currently nominate either to be closed as a duplicate because neither have an upvoted answer. – Blckknght Aug 25 '19 at 01:09
I agree, and tried to nominate this question as soon as I realized. I'm not sure what the protocol here is. – user55434 Aug 25 '19 at 03:39

I've closed this question as a duplicate of the other one now. – V2Blast Aug 25 '19 at 04:40
