I've been doing a little "research" on topic recently. There's a lot of confusion here (for example in this topic). Most of the sites and tutorials i've been reading claim that regular monsters' mlvl-s are equal to the corresponding alvl-s (maybe with some exceptions). Well, this is simply not truth according to my findings. While there're usually (not always!) some monsters whose mlvl == alvl there're those as well whose are not. For example: no monsters' mlvl in Chaos Sanctuary is equal to it's alvl (78 in hell, mlvl of Doom Knights is 74, Oblivion Knights, Storm Casters & Venom Lords have mlvl-s of 80). And unique monsters' mlvl-s are not alvl + 3, but the corresponding monster mlvl + 3 (same goes for champions)! For example: mlvl of Oblivion Knights is 80 in hell, so the mlvl of de Seis is 83 (and not 81). While the differencies are quite small in most cases, they can be crucial when you try to figure out what monster can drop or how much experience you can get from him/her.

My first question is simple: can you confirm it?

So i tried to put together a little list of Diablo 2 (classic) alvl-s and corresponding mlvl-s. You can find it below if interested. All the data comes directly from d2data.mpq (data\global\excel\Levels.txt & data\global\excel\monstats.txt), there was no LoD installed if that matters. But there're still some questions remaining. Can you tell, what's the correct mlvl-s of the following super uniques in game:
* Griswold = 5|30|55 or 8|33|58?
* The Smith = 10|35|60 or 13|38|63?
* Radament the Fallen = 16|41|66 or 19|44|69?
* Bloodwitch the Wild = 18|43|68 or 17|42|67?
* Summoner = 18|43|68 or 21|46|71?
* Hephasto the Armorer = 25|50|75 or 28|53|78?

And here's the list i promised:

Area Name = alvl in Normal|Nightmare|Hell
mlvl = alvl:
List of monsters whose mlvl is equal to alvl
mlvl <> alvl:
List of monsters whose mlvl is not equal to alvl and their mlvl-s in normal|nightmare|hell
