The Meowthrower is a Hardmode flamethrower that is dropped by the Wall of Flesh. Like other flamethrowers, it uses gel as ammunition. It shoots blue and pink flames at a short range and with a slight spread, which pierce twice. It additionally fires cat projectiles which home in on nearby enemies. Upon hitting an enemy, an aesthetic burst of flame occurs, and it makes a meowing sound.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
