I guess the introduction of 'Cuttlefish' would be stretching the sea monster Creature Type butter a little too thin at this point.
I wish we had Octopus, Squid and Cuttlefish, and all of them were included in the Whelming Wave/Quest for Ula's Temple "Sea Monster" category.
You... are a very specific level of vorthos.
If someone was less vorthos, they would pack a “sea monster” deck with whatever the best cards to make that deck are. If someone was more vorthos, they would squish together all the sea monsters they could for their “under the sea” deck without consideration for whether a few cards explicitly group them together.
Your insistence on strict adherence to a tribal grouping appearing that appears on maybe a half dozen cards has always struck me as odd. Is there a point at which it becomes more flavorful to simply not use whelming wave and pack in a wider array of sea creatures... whether for power or flavor?

Oh, I’ll be using it. I’m the extreme level of Vorthos. Just would have been nice to have it also survive wave and Slinn Voda. They’re two bad win cons in an admittedly bad but fun deck. I loop whelming wave so it can be rather imperative to have creatures withstand it
I have many games given the singleton nature of the format where I never draw wave or voda though so meh why not
Also, personally, squid and octopus should be merged into one creature type. Throw nautilus and cephalid in there as well. There's too much creature type splitting going on in Magic anyway.

Agreed. Aww. Baby serpent <3 sea snek
Flavor text cracks me up. One moment floating city, Lorthos: dis mine. Floating no longer
Not an Octopus for sea monster synergy hurts
Would have loved a two drop to bring that deck's curve down a bit
