"Chupacabra" is the fifth episode of the second season and 11th episode overall of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead. It originally aired on AMC in the United States on November 13, 2011. In the episode, Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), delusional from being wounded in a search mission, desperately tries to return to the Greene farm. Meanwhile, Glenn (Steven Yeun) unravels a secret that could endanger the survivors.

In the opening flashback, Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) and Shane (Jon Bernthal), escaping to a refugee center at the onset of the walker epidemic, watch in horror as military helicopters drop napalm on Atlanta.

In the present, the survivors continue their search for the missing Sophia. Hershel (Scott Wilson) expresses his concern to Rick (Andrew Lincoln) that his group has gotten too comfortable on his farmlands. Hershel is particularly concerned on how close Glenn (Steven Yeun) and his daughter Maggie (Lauren Cohan) appear to be. Meanwhile, Glenn accidentally learns Lori is pregnant, and she asks him to keep it a secret from Rick.

During a search party, Shane tells Rick the search is pointless and they should continue on to Fort Benning. Rick later confides in Lori that Shane may be right. Lori privately confronts Shane, reminding him that her and Carl's (Chandler Riggs) well-being are no longer his problem.

Daryl (Norman Reedus) goes out on horseback searching for Sophia, eventually coming across her doll in a river bed. As he follows the river, he is thrown by his horse by a snake, and is severely wounded by one of his crossbow bolts in the fall. He starts to hallucinate his missing brother Merle (Michael Rooker), who berates him for spending more time searching for Sophia than him. Daryl wakes in time to find a walker chewing on his shoe; he quickly dispatches it and another approaching walker, and takes their ears as a trophy necklace.
