I agree with Will Kinney's article and his analysis. However, the leviathan does not seem to have many heads according to Job 41. There it has one set of jaws, one tongue, one set of eyes, etc.
When it says, "Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces" (Psalm 74:14), the word "leviathan" seems to be a collective noun, because it does not say "the leviathan", just "of leviathan", which is like the usage of the word "fowl" (plural represented without "s" at the end). Confer with: "And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man" (Genesis 7:21).
Therefore the heads belong to different creatures of the leviathan category or class, not one creature having multiple heads. However, we do see that in prophecy there are many headed creatures, and also creation shows that mutant creatures sometimes appear with multiple heads. Therefore, either a mutation in leviathan breeding caused the creatures by the time of King David to have multiple heads, or else the word “leviathan” is a collective noun, which is more likely.
