No, it isn't. The Immortal requires the Twilight Council (replaces the Citadel in the tree). Stalkers only need the Cybernetics Core.and you should have mentioned the immortal as it is buildable at the same time as the stalker

SC wiki says 90 hp.
I trust SC wiki more than any site, but it's possible it's outdated.

In the battle report I think it had 90 hp.
Anyway, since it's been changed to tier 1, no stats are dependable, there's no way they'd leave it as it was in regards to stats.
And for me, I'd like to see them try and avoid giving Zerg too many damage-bonuses, just because it's always been something they've avoided for the most part. But it seems unavoidable in the Hydra's case.
As for stats, a layout of:
75/25/1
8 damage (+2 vs. Armored) vs. Air and Ground
With 80 hp sounds good to me.
Pretty much what it had in SC1, except it's base damage is higher.

Hydra needs to get a damage bonus or cost less or get more hp to be usefull. I vote for the first, sice then it can counter the roach and fix zvz.

I think that banelings could counter Roaches just fine in ZvZ, especially with Burrow in SC2Ambush FTW!
Also yeah Hydras got 90 Hp in BR2.
