Seems I have heard of the Seth thing somewhere so I Googled it:and: "he was a peril for ordinary Egyptians in the underworld, where he was said to seize the souls of the unwary"....as if to add insult to injury, being stuck in the underworld in the first place, and having your soul snatched when your attention is innocently diverted...
Lots of interesting references in Wikipedia and this one from
Encyclopedia Mythica

Seth: "ancient Egyptian god of chaos, the embodiment of hostility and even of outright evil"
