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> | 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]].

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. | The Wuv Woo skull is a reference/continuation of a recurring joke in two of [[Ensemble Studios]]' previous games.
