Torch
From the Croc Wiki, the Croc encyclopedia
A torch is an Interactive Element in Croc: Legend of the Gobbos and is used to illumate part of a darkened level. When Croc touches one, the level's brightness increase for about ten seconds before running out, allowing the player to see the level more clearly. Activating a torch is not required to complete the level, especially if the player has good eyesight. They only appear in dark places in levels on Desert Island.
