Retired Mounts
For various reasons these mounts can no longer be obtained, although you may still see them roaming around the world. Some mounts are retired because of planned, limited-term events - like the PvP Arena seasons. Others are retired because the promotions they are part of are discontinued. Others just go missing as part of game changes or recodes.
Dungeon Challenge Mode Mounts
In some expansions there have been mount rewards for completing all the dungeons on Challenge Mode, with a rating of Silver or above. These mounts are retired with the launch of the pre-expansion patch for the next expansion.
Brawler's Guild Mounts
When the Brawler's Guild season ends, the mount reward is retired. A different mount is offered the next season.

Arena Mounts
Each PvP Arena season has its own mount reward, and the previous season's reward is retired as soon as it's awarded.

Battle for Azeroth Season 2
Battle for Azeroth Season 3
Battle for Azeroth Season 4
Sometimes mounts are offered as an incentive for a Blizzard promotional event and are retired when it ends.
Original Epic Mounts
These mounts were the original 'Epic' level 60 mounts present in the game when WoW launched. In Patch 1.4, these unarmored epic mounts were removed from vendors and replaced with the armored level 60 (now level 40) mounts that we have today. Characters who already owned one of these retired mounts were encouraged to trade it in for a new armored mount, but those that didn't now own something truly rare, as the old versions here can no longer be purchased.
