Template:Enemy The Meow Wow is a Dream Eater that appears in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.
The Meow Wow is the only Dream Eater designed by Tetsuya Nomura.[1]
Design
Meow Wows are plump Dream Eaters that resemble a cross between a cat and a dog. It has a point at the top of its head, and its eyes resemble a plus sign. It has a dog-like muzzle, spots on its side, and pointy ears. There is a small ring of color on its legs, separating its legs from its paws.
Spirit
As a Spirit, the Meow Wow has a white underbody and muzzle. The top half of its body is blue in color, but can be changed using Paint Guns, and its blue ears possess black tips. Its rear end is black, and its stubby black tail has a pink tip. Its legs are black at the bottom with a pink band wrapping around the middle, and a short pink tongue hangs loosely out of its mouth. It has a small purple nose in the shape of an upside-down triangle, and it sports a short pink horn on its forehead. Three yellow spots decorate its sides, and the pupils of its circular black eyes take the shape of crosses. The Spirit Emblem appears on its chest.
Nightmare

It has white bands wrapping around its legs with black paws, and the Nightmare Emblem is located on its chest. The spots are purple in color, as are the tips of its ears. It has red round pupils and a mint green tongue, as well as white muzzle and pale blue horn on its forehead. And lastly possesses a white tail and a black nose.

It has red round pupils and a mint green tongue, as well as white muzzle and pale blue horn on its forehead. And lastly possesses a white tail and a black nose.
Etymology
The Meow Wow's names reflect the Dream Eater's cat-dog design; the Japanese name is formed from "Woof" (わんわん Wanwan) and "Meow" (にゃんにゃん Nyan'nyan), but is also a pun incorporating the word "Wonder", while the English name is a portmanteau formed from "Meow" and "Wow" as a pun on "bow wow" while also incorporating the exclamation "wow".

When Riku reaches the Brink of Despair and is looking for a way into the Organization's castle, he spots Sora's Meow Wow trying to get his attention from the castle entrance. When his Komory Bat shows up as well, he realizes that they are there to help him across and uses the Dreamline Reality Shift to create a rope and cross the gap.

Notes and references
- ^ Kingdom Hearts 3D Ultimania: Nomura: The only one I drew myself is the Wandanyan. I basically drew it all in one go, and didn’t edit it at all. As for the other Spirits, I showed the Wandanyan to the staff and requested that they 'please give them a design that is strange, charming without being too cute'. They drew for me in high spirits, and came out with one interesting design after another.
