Would it be possible for my fantasy creature to have black blood?

A friend of mine has a race of creatures in her headworld and has been wondering about a biological answer to justify the color of her race's blood even though magic is a bit sprinkled in there.

One character has black blood, so she wanted to know how would it be possible, or what explanations would be reasonable for a fantasy/otherworldly creature to have different shades of blood (different colors outside the red spectrum possibly)? What factors are possible to bring the creature to have this color in their bloodstream?
