Creating an Anatomically Correct Lusca

+0
−0

The Lusca (its name meaning 'Octopus Shark') is a cryptid from the Bahamas, supposedly a 6-9 meter (or even 23 meter) long man-eating Octopus that lives within the blue holes, dragging victims down into the winding underwater cave system that connects all Blue Holes.

Given that Blue holes are anoxic and are not super conducive to Octopi and their eggs due to the lack of currents/oxygen, is there any way to realistically modify a lusca-like organism to thrive in the hostile environment of a Blue Hole?
