http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lusca

According to wiki the Lusca is a decomposing Sperm Whale, Dragon like creature, Sea monster in an MMORPG and a german band.

Man this Lusca is one damn multi tasker eh? He gets around.

half shark half octopus creature ??? i'm sure and i hope this creature never exist!

I think I know what you are talking about. The Lusca is supposed to be an evil creature that lives in the blue holes of some tropical islands. They are said to take people and eat them. You might find a little more info here.

The article goes on to talk about the possibility of the Lusca being a freshwater octopus. And I think that in some other place, mention was made about it being a Tullimonstrum (or was that for something that drags people underwater in the American West?).

Anyway, hope this helps.

I have never heard the half shark part before. The Lusca are just giant octopi of the Carribean.

Man, a half shark half octopus is something too hard to imagine. And yes, I was talking about the shape. It's like a half cow half chicken. Anyway, as far as I know, the Lusca was indeed a globster of a giant octopus that was discoverd somewhere in Carribean (?) or Bahamas (?).

Sounds a lot like something I ordered accidentally at a sushi restaurant...

I've heard the stories of it being a new species of octopus or squid, but i have never heard of one being photographed or a carcass washing up anywhere. Anyone have any links or info if it has happened?

It was happened in 20th Century, maybe early years...say 1930s?

half shark half octopus?
jeez how many half animal myths are there?
