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) and "Meow" (にゃんにゃん), 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".

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
Sora obtains the Meow Wow Spirit after defeating the Nightmare versions, making it the first of his Dream Eater companions.

When Frollo tricks Sora, Phoebeus and Quasimodo into showing him the Court of Miracles' location, he summons Nightmare Meow Wows to act as his personal henchmen.

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.

Several Meow Wows arrive with a multitude of other Spirits to welcome Sora when he returns to Traverse Town after finishing the Mark of Mastery exam; Sora's own Meow Wow is the first to greet him.
