A torch is an object used to light dark paths.
Mainstream Smurfs Media
In mainstream Smurfs media, the Smurfs use torches when doing search parties in dark places or at night when visibility is limited. In "The Olympic Smurfs", a Smurf carries a torch to light the ceremonial Olympic flame on a brazier at the start of the games, only to become the victim of a prank played upon him by Jokey.
