Throughout Halo Wars are locations with skulls that can grant special abilities once you complete specific tasks. These skulls are hidden on the maps, and once you complete the task for the skull, it will flash on the mini-map. The tasks consist of killing specific amount of certain creatures. For example, to unlock the skull on the first mission, you'll need to kill 100 grunts. Once the 100 grunts are killed, the location of the skull will flash on the mini-map for a short period of time. Be sure to look out for the flash on the map, if you miss it, you'll need to track down the skull on you're own.XboxLife.com: Halo Wars Skulls
