Lusca

The latest episode of BBC’s Death in Paradise featured the legend of the Lusca. I remembered that I drew this creature for one of the Monster Hunters Unlimited series that I illustrated and co-created for PSS (a division of Penguin)

Monster Month Day 2 - Lusca

Somewhere deep inside the yawning blue waters of a blue abyss; all teeth and arms and mystery, is Lusca. A half-shark, half-cephalopod sea monster said to haunt the waters of Blue Holes around certain Islands of the Bahamas.

Lusca is another somewhat unsung Cryptid, in terms of prime time exposure. Surprising to me because 1) Lusca is one of the handful of cryptids with a supposed kill-count, and 2) It's one of the few cryptids that people are looking for, still, to this day.

It is thought that a mysterious creature known as the Lusca lives in marine sinkholes called blue holes. The specific blue holes that the Lusca is said to call home are located near Andros, an island in the Bahamas. It is described as being an enormous octopus, sometimes with the head of a shark. The Lusca is anywhere between 75 and 200 feet long, has razor sharp teeth, and tentacles. Some stories say that the Lusca even has the ability to change color in order to camouflage itself. It is said that the beast swims in hiding through the underwater tunnels that make up the blue holes until it breaks the surface to destroy ships and feast on fishermen.
