Glad to be of service:) It actually goes all the way back to the old kingdom. I've heard people theorize that Osiris was killed by a hippo and that that's where the Set story came from. As in he was literally killed by a hippo, but on some kind of metaphysical level it was actually Set who somehow caused his death. I can't speak to the validity of it, but I think it's an interesting idea.
