Very reason first Creature Collection was so riddled with errors, they published it before actual WotC Monster Manual.That said, maybe they just borrowed common meme's from earth myths. Protective mother titans/gods are quite common.For example this is from Greek:"In myth, Rhea was the wife of the Titan Kronos and Queen of heaven. When her husband heard a prophecy that he would be deposed by one of his children, he took to swallowing each of them as soon as they were born. But Rhea bore her youngest, Zeus, in secret and hid him away in a cave in Krete guarded by shield-clashing Kouretes. In his stead she presented Kronos with a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes which he promptly devoured."Speaking of self-fulfilling prophesies. We actually borrowed (or my dm did) Rhea for one Scarred Lands/Shacled City game.  She was Titan of moon, forgotten one, whose now dead moon called Belsameth's moon and sister to Dark moon. Dark moon is our invitation too, inspired by some astrology bits at Mithril sourcebook. Ah well, but we are now discussing Scarn mythology not how we did it.</blockquote>
