You armour plate yourself, and all of your guards.

You send the rest of the fishs out to hunt, and infect any new/cool creatures.

They come back with 20 units of food, and a cuttlefish. (Google it)

Hive:
Hive-mind: 1 (You)
Infected fishes: 21 (Five armoured)
Infected cuttlefish: 1

Materials:
Food: 14 (Food needed: 22)

Cuttlefish, eh? This could be to our advantage. Order the cuttlefish to handle giving redundant orders such as "hunt/infect" to the hunter party so you can focus on eating, and having an exploration party discover new areas/species of fish.

Go get a shark. Plant ourselves onto it's head. Find a lazor. Strap it to the sharks head.

Umm, cuttlefish has WAY more than that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuttlefish

Though, Buoyant bone.
extremely high fidelity colour and polarity changing skin.
camouflage software for brains.
EXTREMELY advanced eyes, that can also see polarization.
Ink.
Potent neurotoxin.

(and before you complain, YES this is overpowered. I recommend retconing and saying we caught a seaslug or something. Seriously cuttlefish is the most ridiculously feature-stuffed thing you could have written.)

I think that's why he nerf'd it.

You can't "nerf" a pre-existing real world animal. Call it "primitive cephalopod" or something if you want to do that.

Fine, fine. You raise a good point. Made underpowered, removed all good things from it, however you want to put it. The point still remains that he probably just wanted to make raising the cuttlefish challenging since it would be so overpowered in this game.

Just because we have a cuttlefish does not mean we can replicate its entire DNA structure.
What is listed is probably what we can extract at our current level.

Exept that those things are much, MUCH harder to extract than say the inp or toxin. That goes for the armour of that fish and so as well. I get the impresion that the GM wan't to keep at least some ilusion of realism.

What harm would renaming it do anyway? All I ask is that he don't call something a cuttlefish unless it has some similarity to a cuttlefish, and cuttlefish are prey much the gadgeteers of the sea.

That would be contraction. Neither am I, though. Unless he meant 'won't'.
