==How to find them==
==How to Find Them==
Each level in ''Halo Wars'' has an optional objective where you are asked to kill a certain number of a certain unit type, such as killing 100 Grunts in the first mission, [[Alpha Base (Halo Wars level)|Alpha Base]]. Once this objective has been completed, the skull location will flash on the mini-map for a few seconds, so it's important to watch the map as you complete the objective. To simplify this, the objective will have a counter that pops up every time you kill a unit of the designated unit type. For example, the HUD will show "56/100 [[Unggoy|Grunts]] Killed"; when you have killed 100 Grunts for that objective, the skull will appear.<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/forums/thread/479061.aspx Halo Wars Official Site Forums], accessed on 25/02/09</ref>

'''Note''': This is perhaps the hardest skull to obtain, since most times, a player kills only 95-98 Grunts before the end of the mission. Try using only Warthogs to splatter the Grunts before the A.I.s kill them. Also, while inside Alpha Base, do your best not to destroy the Spirit transports, as they drop additional Grunts.

==Trivia==
The Wuv Woo skull is a reference/continuation of a recurring joke in two of [[Ensemble Studios]]' previous games. In [[Wikipedia:Age of Mythology|Age of Mythology]], entering the cheat code "wuv woo" spawns the Flying Purple Hippo unit, while in [[Wikipedia:Age of Empires III|Age of Empires III]] the code "wuv woo vol.2" spawns the Flying Purple Tapir. Like Wuv Woo skull, both units have an exceedingly cutesy appearance.
