Astérix is an animal character in AMC's The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.
Post-Apocalypse
Season 1
"Alouette"
Daryl, Isabelle, Laurent, and Sylvie ride a mule-drawn cart through a village where Laurent, rather morbidly, answers Sylvie's attempt to get him to guess what person she's talking about by stating that it's a dead person since everyone else that Sylvie knows is dead. When Laurent asks what kind of death he would prefer, Daryl sarcastically suggests a quiet one. The mule suddenly stops in the middle of the road and refuses to go any further. Astérix's whining draws out a herd, and Daryl wonders how to shut him up, but Laurent tells him that the mule is very stubborn. With no other choice and over Isabelle's objections that Laurent loves the mule, Daryl unties Astérix and fires his gun into the air, scaring the mule into charging straight through the herd, drawing it away. Isabelle lies to Laurent that Astérix will be fine as he's faster than the walkers, and Daryl has everyone gather their belongings and move out in the other direction. Subsequently, Isabelle and Sylvie lie to Laurent that Astérix is likely to be fine despite the very high likelihood that he fell victim to the herd.
Later, armed with a knife, Laurent walks through the woods and spots a few walkers moving away from where a dog is eating Astérix's partially devoured corpse. Laurent scares the dog off and apologizes to the mule for not being there for him. Isabelle and Sylvie find Astérix's body, and Laurent angrily accuses them of lying to him. Laurent walks off, chased by Sylvie.
