Apart from humans, there are many creatures whose blood is red in colour, you already know all this. Those whose blood is red, the reason for their red color is the excessive amount of iron containing protein in the blood which we call haemoglobin.
The special thing about these proteins is that they turn red as soon as they absorb oxygen. Copper based hemocyanin is a chemical which when mixed with red color turns the color blue. Octopus is a creature with 8 legs.
