Monster's hit dice?

bbear

What is a hit dice and what are the hit dice of some common monsters?

I know that trolls and umber hulks have 8 or less hit dice cuz they die from the death spell. Mindflayers, beholders and many creatures get kill by greater deathblow, so they must be 12 level or lower. Does hit dice = monster's level?
